Ok, at this moment, my Bailey...after ONE YEAR of being isolated with her brace at home...is over at her friend's house...TO SLEEP OVER!!! She had been asked to babysit with her...and then to stay all night, which she immediately said no to. I told her she didn't have to say no...that she didn't have to miss out...that if her friend knew why she said no, she would say to bring it over and stay. I couldn't convince her...same song, 100th verse. So I took her over to the house. She she called 45 minutes later to say she had changed her mind about staying all night. I reminded her that she'd have to wear the brace and she said, "I know. Bring it over." I about fell over. Much weeping. My heart couldn't believe it. I took the brace over with her clothes and she is there now.
DO YOU ALL HAVE ANY IDEA HOW INCREDIBLY HUGE THIS IS? HOW INCREDIBLY GOD THIS IS? I am blown away. This is the girl who takes who hides her brace deep in my closet or in the garage when friends come over, so there's no chance they will see it. This is the girl who won't even take it in a bag anywhere because she is SURE someone will figure out what's in it. Oh, thank You, Lord! One step at a time...God is moving in her heart. I'm so very grateful.
Thanks to all of you for any and all prayers offered on Bailey's behalf in this last year. Please, I ask you to keep praying as we all know the enemy will try to make things worse for her now. I pray for freedom, in Jesus' name for her life! Love you all so much.
Believing for Bailey, c

I can't help but think how this is God's reminder of his faithfulness and his timing on this Easter week, dearest Cynthia. Just a little whisper of "I'm here. I've been here. I'll never leave or forsake you. I love you. I am FOR you. I LITERALLY have your back...and your daughter's." How I rejoice at this wonderful night!

We just wanted to weigh in and tell you how grateful we are that God has visibly answered so many of our prayers on Bailey's behalf. We will continue to pray for boldness of heart as she steps out in faith more and more with this God sized venture. We love you and miss you! We are looking for cake plates around every corner - but they are hard to find.
Love, KJ and Vonda
