Footprints in the Sand.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.  To me, this picture is everything.

You see, our family was fortunate enough to travel to Grand Cayman for an amazing family vacation.  We woke up every morning and headed straight to the beach where Ryker played all day in the waves, Maverick ate way too much sand, and we all soaked in the beauty of God's creation.

One afternoon, as the sun began it's trek towards the horizon, Ryker and I sat together on the beach, looked for shark fins, and talked about the amazing animals under the sea (he is particularly fond of eels, stingrays, and, my favorite, spotted drums).  Adam saw this moment and snapped a quick picture of us, not realizing at the time the miracle he captured: two sets of footprints in the sand.

That's right, there are two sets of footprints in that photo.

That means two people WALKED to the edge of the sea.

That means Ryker WALKED to the edge of the sea.

He is a miracle, and those little footprints tell his story.

A story of a little boy who was told he may never walk, but he knew God had bigger plans for him.  He worked hard, he persevered, he prayed, and he was determined to take steps.

Ryker never gave up.

Some people quit because they focus on how far they have to go, without realizing how far they have come.

Those footprints, though small, are a BIG reminder to us of how far Ryker has come.  They're a big reminder to us of how far anyone can go!

Never give up.

The world is waiting for you to leave your mark.

"But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded."
2 Chronicles 15:7

"Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might." Ephesians 6:10. And always always always Jeremiah 29:11-13, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon Me and come to pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart." The first part of 14 says, "I will be found by you."
