She walks!

Then Jesus said to him, "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk."

John 5:8

This week we saw this verse played out in real life. Our little Lucy, the girl who was abandoned on a beach as an infant. The girl who was forced to sit on a mat, alone, and unfed in her first orphanage. The one who only ate if the other children decided to toss her food scraps. The girl who nobody would touch because they believed her to be "cursed" due to her "abnormalities".  The girl who finally got moved to another orphanage and once again was left to sit alone: unkept, unloved, parasites coming from her head, her body deteriorating by the moment.

Today...Jesus said, "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk!" and she did... with a smile on her face and giggles in her heart!

Oh..how we love her and Oh how we love HIS power and promises!  


(She is so tired from all the walking that she falls asleep eating at the end of the video!)
