So she got almost two hours in. It was around 4pm though that the switch happened. We\u2019ve found our Ela! The rest of the afternoon and evening was filled with chatter and singing and giggling. A little sass here and a little spunk there\u2026much better than the zombie grunts! Leslee and I are so happy for the progress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tonight, my mom and I were discussing a passage that is so appropriate to share with today\u2019s blessings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n<cite>\u201cEven though I walk through the valley of shadow of death, I will fear no evil, your rod and your staff, they comfort me\u2026Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever\u201d (Ps. 23:4, 6).<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We serve a God of comfort, a God of goodness, a God of mercy. Blessings we do not deserve but that He gives us anyway. I\u2019m thrilled to leave you with a video of Ela singing. May she always remember the words of the song she knows so well: \u201cfor the Lord is good and faithful, He will keep us day and night. We can always run to Jesus. Jesus strong and kind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Back to Singing!\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TiQSUPVsRwo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>PS: Leslee and I are extremely thankful for your generosity.
