It was Johanna’s last day of speech therapy.  It didn’t HAVE to be… but somewhere along the way someone didn’t complete their job and papers were not where they were supposed to be in time to have a meeting before her birthday.  I cried.
Johanna is beautiful and tries to share a lot of what she is thinking.  But we often do not understand her.  And non family members almost NEVER understand her.  But she is going to miss out on 13 weeks of much needed therapy because someone didn’t do their job.  No one in the chain will really admit it was their mistake, either.  This has been very frustrating.  I cried. 

I’m celebrating, though, because of my LORD.  HE never falls down on the job.  He never fails to follow through.  He never forsakes us.  He never gets distracted. 

Romans 8:28 (ESV) And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

I got up early that morning and made cupcakes and purple frosting.  We invited the speech teacher to frost them and eat them with us.  My baby girl attempted to put on more sprinkles than any cupcake could ever hope to hold, and I let her eat every one of those wayward gems with a spoon.

She will most likely resume therapy in the fall.  I look forward to the day my daughter can share her thoughts completely and without a barrier.  And I pray that one day she will proclaim Jesus as her Savior in a voice the WORLD can understand.
