Asking questions about God requires little. Finding the answers requires effort. Living with those answers requires grace.

Keepin' On



Macayla has been busy lately. The most exciting thing today was that she once again demonstrated she can communicate. At therapy she used the switch devices to communicate that she wanted to go down the slide by pushing the button that said “go!” It was exciting and everyone in the room was cheering her on. What a blessing! This past weekend, we went to the mountains in north Georgia for a wedding. It was a beautiful place and the kids loved it. We stayed in a house that overlooked a river and Jennifer and Macayla took a nap out on the porch with sound of the river below serenading them to sleep. Jacob and I explored the slope above the river and went climbing and exploring. A couple of weeks ago, Macayla participated in the Special Olympics. She did a beanbag toss (as in the small beanbags, not the kind you sit in. She’s strong, but not that strong.) She did a ball toss and a relay race. It was such a blessing for me to see all of the families in Anderson that have special needs and abilities. We enjoyed it and I would suggest it to anyone to go and be apart of it. These kids and families impact others in unique ways. Macayla is full of surprises and we are so thankful for her and all of the people who pray for her and us. She was born for the glory of God.
