Glimpses

What can we say to describe just a glimpse of Your Glory
How can our words portray but a thread of Your Majesty
But still we praise our Savior in Spirit and in Truth
For we cannot say enough about You 

(lyrics by Mercy Me)

Throughout this blog, in telling Mary Graham's story, I have tried to describe in words, as the lyrics say above, a "glimpse of God's glory and a thread of His majesty" through her life and our entire family.....but it never seems like I can truly say enough about Him.

....God has shown me glimpses of his glory....through Mary Graham's physical struggles, surgeries, delays and weakness and just having to hand it all over to Him each day. Thankfully he never gets tired and always pours out his daily mercy.

...when I watch and help her, and it's quite exhausting these days helping a 2 year old move, since she can not move on her own....just last week in therapy, she did this....

....He is at work.....a glimpse of His glory and majesty is so much brighter after such dark days. And when we are at our weakest, His glory shines the most.

She is doing fabulous, feeling wonderful and wanting to move more and is talking like a 4 year old :)....she is gaining weight and it feels like we are finally out of the dark for now and just enjoying life.We went for a checkup with Dr. M (aka. "best doctor ever"), who has been with us since she was 8 weeks old. He commented that things looked so dim for her in the beginning and he is so encouraged by her progress.

After these 2 years, it seems like we are starting to really embrace who she is and how God made her, not just accept it, or in my case, run from it....some days it is still painful, but the little person she is becoming is so beautiful.

Thank you for continuing to pray for her. We praise God for these glimpses of His hand in her life and in ours.
