Do you believe in miracles?

I do.

Today, I witnessed a miracle that lasted 1 minute and 13 seconds.  1:13.

We were practicing swimming and some aquatic therapy today (thank you, Mimi, for your help!), and then it happened.  With determination, confidence, a bit of fear, and a LOT of courage, RYKER WALKED.  Not just a few steps...but so many steps that I lost count! 

He walked for 1 minute and 13 seconds!

When Ryker was diagnosed with Joubert Syndrome, we were told he would probably never walk.  But I know my God is bigger than ANY diagnosis.  Bigger than ANY "expected outcome."  I know my God works miracles.  I believe in miracles.  

Albert Einstein once famously said, "There are only two ways to live your life.  One as though nothing is a miracle.  The other as though everything is a miracle."  Folks, everything is a miracle.

I know Ryker is on the way to walking -- no, RUNNING -- independently.  It's not a matter of years or months...it's a matter of days.  He is SO proud of himself, and we are SO proud of him too.

I hope our miracle brings you joy today, and I hope you can recognize the miracles that are surrounding you every single day.

"He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed,
miracles that cannot be counted."
​~ Job 5:9

So happy about Ryker!! You may not know this but my folks were told the same....the likelihood of my walking without aids was not good. So do I believe in miracles?! You bet I do every step I take!! Ryker will be off and running before you know it...and his spirit will lead the way!! We are cheering him on from St. Louis!! ❤️
