I've thought a lot about my last post on Saturday. I think all I portrayed about Joyanna was negative. That was wrong of me. I feel I need to correct that viewpoint. While there are challenges, Joyanna is a sweet girl. There are times she is very loving, freely giving hugs and kisses. If we take the time to just be silly, her giggles and full-out silent laughter can't help but make you laugh. She loves dramatic responses and slapstick. I think the Lord was showing me that if I'm only catching the negative that is why the days are more challenging. Of course, the responses to hugs and laughter are easy and joyful. It's my response to the defiance that I see in myself as a working point, and tend to dwell on. We still ask for your prayers for her and me but please pray that we are able to enjoy all the wonderful things while we have them. We above anybody else (having watched Philip) know they likely won't last forever. We pray The Lord helps us develop a thankful heart through each step of the journey.
