Updates on JoElle

So, JoElle has been on ADHD meds for almost 2 weeks now. I can tell a pretty big difference, but it has been crazy b/c of Christmas and New Year's, all the new toys, and no gymnastics.

Tim is not so confident in the efficacy of her medication regimen.

I feel like we have to hang in, see what happens over the next weeks.
I see so many positives, there have been a few minor setbacks, but nothing we haven't overcome.

I trust that God has great plans for JoElle!

Lately, she has been baptizing herself in the bathtub and today she told me she is ready to be baptized "for real." She is very excited! She is now able to pray again, when she was seriously depressed, she could no longer pray at bedtime, now the gift of prayer has been flowing from her mouth.

I wish I could record some of them, they touch our hearts tremendously and I know God is smiling down at her!

Tonight, in her prayer, she proclaimed loudly " I KNOW you are REAL, GOD, and you created EVERYTHING, and you can do ALL THINGS..." and her prayer continued, from her heart. She even prayed for those who do not do the right thing and say the right thing, asking for forgiveness for them and told God "I know you take care of everyone, but I will also help you take care of people, and feed them if they need food, I will be a superhero for YOU!"
