In a Moment's Time

This afternoon I was reading through a college friend's Facebook page getting "caught-up" realizing from some previous posts that her precious 1 month old had to undergo open hear surgery just a few weeks ago to correct a defect. Then I thought for a moment longer about today as I stared at the serial number that Samantha Grace peeled off of her insulin pump last night reminding myself to call the pump company...it hit me...today marks 3 years that our little princess has been a walking testimony of the power of prayer!

Hard to believe this was our little girl 3 years ago!

For those that are unfamiliar with our story, I invite you to read this post and then follow it by this post. Those postings will give you a short synopsis of where we came from to what the difference  a year makes.

Yesterday I read an article on my friends blog about comparing ourselves to "Parenting" magazines. I read with my mind and heart agreeing with every statement that she made. She hit every point that I needed to hear. Because in our little family everyday is surrounded not just by the daily activities but it also includes counting carbs, finger pricks every 2 hours (or more if moods change), and pump supplies have overtaken our medicine shelf.

(She made sure that her face was in the picture!) We are so blessed by her tough personality and unconditional love for those in need. She is such a trooper!

We, at first, asked God so many questions like, "Why us? Why her?" But now that we look back at the situation we thank God for what did NOT happen.

I look forward to every opportunity to share her story, the power of prayer and to make the common public aware that these are just "normal" kids with a story to tell!
