GOD IS A GOD OF MIRACLES!!!!
I know it's been a long time, but I can explain (another nite lol). Tonight I wanted to mark in history for my miracles' blog, the second grandest day (First was 10.13.11) of my life...
June 10, 2014 @ 5.13p.m. she took her FIRST steps alone. There is so much to catch up on since my last post in 2012, but for those that know what this journey has been for us, well you know just how glorious today is. It's just the beginning of something so beautiful. In short a couple of months ago, I had to hear a neurologist say, "It will be difficult that she walk before the age of 5 & even then she may never be a smooth walker!"..........Well she hasn't even turned 3 (Just 2Yrs & 3days short of 8mths. old) & to me she has walked!! God has always been with Sophia & now more than ever I believe that!!! (This picture always reminds me of them & of course they are holding a butterfly)
My Butterfly,
You make me smile from the inside out everyday! You are my Sunshine that shines brighter with each passing moment! Today I shed tears of happiness, joy, & blessings! When you fell into my arms after those first 4 steps it was as if we had just walked in heaven. The sound of your laugh full of joy towards your own accomplishment was so enlightening, I could feel just how proud of yourself you were!! I know baby, I know you've worked so hard for this moment!! I'm so very proud of you, no words can describe just how proud of you I am. You are my hero, I admire your will, your strength, your endurance to fight, but above all your faith. Now I know I didn't get the actual first steps on video but that moment will forever be engraved in our souls!!! I looked at the time & ran to get the camera to share with the world & most of all for YOU!! I pray you always look back at this moment & see all that God & I see in you, our brave warrior!!! There is nothing in life you can't overcome!! Remember what mama tells you every night at bedtime, "Papa Dios Siempre esta contigo!" The feeling of immense fulfillment & happiness got more intense with each practice step. I think it's pretty clear in the video I finally got of you on try #3. I'm so indescribably blessed to be your mother, thank you from the bottom of my soul for choosing me!! You've come so far my angel!!! I love you baby, I love you so much!!! Keep soaring high my Butterfly!!!
P.S.Today one of mama's sister's from Emmaus, actually sent out a prayer request & it included this surprise. I read it around your nap time & by evening the Glory of God & his Grace was already being revealed!!! Amen to your First 4 Steps!!! Te Adoro! May God continue to bless your journey!!
Many of you know that my husband, daughter, sister, brother-in-law and I will be walking the last segment of the "Camino de Santiago". It is an 80 mile journey and we're leaving today for Spain. Since we're older, have many health issues, and not in the best of physical condition (except for my daughter, who's 17 and is very athletic), I ask the Lord for strength and endurance to persevere in His holy name. For we are doing this walk as a real pilgrimage. A walk, like the walk to Emmaus. I dedicate this walk to my friend. I pray that the Apostle James will hear our prayers as we journey along the "Camino. I also dedicate this walk to little Sophia, who is an angel of the Lord on earth. May she never feel overburdened by the cross she has to bear. For she is cared for by another hero of mine. Her Mother is a very brave person who has to watch her little girl go through so much. May God give her the strength to persevere.
Dedication From My Dear Dear Sister Maria Nunez, Emmaus Sister
