We are still here....

      Hi Everyone! I realize that it has been over a month since I last posted and I apologize; but nothing interesting has been going on really! Scilla is doing well and she still has her good days and bad days. She did come to my mom's house on Easter and thanks to one of my mom's co-workers, Mrs. Clovia, we were able to get her in the house. Mrs. Clovia let my mom borrow her steel ramps that made it possible for us to get Scilla in my mom's house. Overall Scilla had an okay Easter; she wasn't feeling well and was in bed most of the day! :(

      On another note, God is still blessing and he is still doing things we don't expect. Scilla was having a rough day on Tuesday (5/10) and bumping heads with everyone, including her daughter Shakelle (who holds most of the care taking responsibility for her mom). The two of them got into a small spat; so Scilla's friend, Step, suggested that they pray. So after the three of them prayed, we got a call from Scilla (whom we could tell had been crying) with a request to be put on speaker phone and for my mom and I to gather around the phone. So, as I walked to the phone she began to tell us what had happened and said that after the prayer, she just felt like she was getting ready to walk! So she was sitting in the car and Step was at the window and

SCILLA WAS MOVING HER KNEE; NOT SPASMS, BUT WILLINGLY SENDING THE SIGNAL FROM HER BRAIN TO HER KNEE TO MOVE!
I couldn't believe it! I questioned her and was in awe about what I was hearing! I don't know what God is doing and I will never question his motives, but I hope that what is happening with the toe, foot and now, knee movement is a sign that she will be able to walk again; I have very strong faith, but I don't want to give her,her husband, her kids,  my mom, or anyone in my family false hope, so I hope that God is really making these things happen and that we are not having our hearts, faith and emotions toyed with.

So I encourage everyone to continue praying for Scilla's health, happiness and healing. Please remember to also keep baby Emma lifted in prayer.

"Walking in Faith..."
