Sunshiney Day

Maybe it's that it's already 66 degrees outside. Maybe it's that it is going to get to 85 today. Maybe it's because daffodils are blooming and trees are blossoming. Whatever it is, today is a sunshiney day in my heart!

I got news "from a distant land" today from two people, about Kendi Mabel. Hearing about her makes my heart soar! She is talking now!!! She says "hello", and when you ask "How are you?" she says, "Fine." If you knew her teeny tiny voice and could imagine her little self saying this, it would make you smile!

Both a volunteer and Muna tell me that she is doing fantastic! Gaining weight, healthy, and catching up in all developmental areas. Praise God! The doctors have been difficult to work with to get her CD4 counts and percentage but it sounds as if next Monday we might finally get to do these tests and see the results. I'm very hopeful for good results, but at the very least it will be good to know what we are dealing with as far as counts go.

Today my heart feels happy. The worries from earlier in the week are just...gone. Even without any hard facts or evidence that she wasn't affected by things that happened to her in utero, somehow the Lord has reconfirmed in my heart that she is still supposed to be our daughter. I'm not just "at peace" with that. I'm JOYFUL about that!!!

I hope all of your days are sunshiney as well.
