He always provides...

We have been waiting about 3 months for a walker for Emma. She was fitted for the walker but, we later learned that Emma had been denied for the actual walker. We were frustrated and frankly, a bit confused by this. At the end of January our friend Melinda, told us that her nephew had outgrown his walker and was offering it to Emma. We were elated. When Melinda brought it to us it was a perfect fit. We bought the sling, which is a special accessory to help support Emma when she is using the walker, and we are now waiting for it to arrive.
Well, a funny thing happened yesterday. After thinking we were denied for a new walker and receiving a walker from our friend, we received a call from Emma's Physical Therapist. He said that the company that manufactures and supplies the walker Emma was fitted for had called him; stating that Emma's walker had been built and was ready for delivery. We have no idea how this happened because we had all but given up on the idea that Emma would get "her" walker, except that God had His hand in this. Now we have options for a walker which we NEVER expected. After all of the ups and downs of not knowing, it just goes to show us that GOD is so good and He always provides.
Emma's new walker will be delivered on Monday and when we get her in it; I will take lots of pictures and post them as soon as I can. We are so exctied.

"Praise God" for answered prayers. We can't wait to see her walking in her walker. Look forward to seeing the pictures.
Love, Sarah

Isn't that just so the Lord! We never know His perfect timing and He seems to always surprise us! PTL that Emma will have her own walker, fitted just for her. Can't wait to see her up and moving! Love you all so much. . .Thank you, Mark, for sharing time with us and thank you, Alissa, for "letting" him come down! We missed you and Emma, for sure! Glad you are all doing well now. Hugs to you!

God's so rad! He takes care of the giant stuff, the little stuff & the stuff in between. All glory to THE ONE who deserves it.
