Hello Again :)

Hi Everyone!

It has been a busy couple of months for me! Jamie got married, I got two new roomates, and I started school for this semester :) Here are a few pictures of when the family came to California for Jamie's wedding. In both of them I am standing with my trainer just putting a little pressure at my knees for a little assistance. I was also clapping. You have to be able to stand and clap, right? :) Things are going really well out here. Getting soreness in my core from all the workouts we have been doing and it feels really great! I really believe this year is going to be a year of great healing!! Thank you all so much for your prayers and support. Prayer is what carries you to the Lord and I can definately see His hand moving and healing in all areas of my life. Just a little the Lord has been placing on my heart and teaching me...Though our circumstance may look hopless God is still on the throne, he is still soverign, He is still there, and His character never changes. In every situation He is still the same. He is the savior, healer, provider, best friend, grestest love, bringer of victory, King of Kings and Lord of Lords and everything else! Be encouraged today! His power is just as real today as it was in the New Testament. God has amazing things in store we just have to trust in Him. We do not have to drive ourselves crazy trying to figure out what we can do to please God. Whatever we do in our own strength will never be enough. We have trust in the promises of His word becuase it is truth. Sometimes this can be the hardest part but He is faithful. Diligence is key!


Joshua 1:9 (Message Bible)

After the death of Moses the servant of God, God spoke to Joshua, Moses' assistant: "Moses my servant is dead. Get going. Cross this Jordan River, you and all the people. Cross to the country I'm giving to the People of Israel. I'm giving you every square inch of the land you set your foot on—just as I promised Moses. From the wilderness and this Lebanon east to the Great River, the Euphrates River—all the Hittite country—and then west to the Great Sea. It's all yours. All your life, no one will be able to hold out against you. In the same way I was with Moses, I'll be with you. I won't give up on you; I won't leave you. Strength! Courage! You are going to lead this people to inherit the land that I promised to give their ancestors. Give it everything you have, heart and soul. Make sure you carry out The Revelation that Moses commanded you, every bit of it. Don't get off track, either left or right, so as to make sure you get to where you're going. And don't for a minute let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you'll get where you're going; then you'll succeed. Haven't I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don't be timid; don't get discouraged. God, your God, is with you every step you take."

Hebrews 11:6 (Amplified Bible)

But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].

Can't believe its already November

Wow! I just realized that it has been a while since I have updated everyone...sorry :( Things have been going really well. I have just been really busy with school, project walk and helping my sister plan her wedding! I hoped to have some videos uploaded for this post, however, there have been a few technical difficulties and I hope to have them up soon. The videos are of me kneeling without little or no aid and crawling with help from my trainer. Everyday I continue to get stronger and stronger. God is so good! I look back at where I was a year and a half ago and I am amazed at how fast I am improving and it is only made possible because of Him. Thank you all for your continued prayer and support! I love you all and hope to have something for you to watch on here soon :)

Strengthening

Hey guys! Here are some new videos from last week. We are still working on standing. In these videos we are working on strengthening the muscles that are starting to work!! My trainers are helping me a lot but our main focus was to activate certain muscle groups while keeping others stable. This was the first time that we had attempted this exercise and it was really hard. However, I am sure we will be doing it again and it will get easier as I get stronger :) Things are getting really exciting! Praise God! 

Working on stabilizing and hip flexors while mini-squating...super hard!

Working on stabilizing and driving down with my glutes, hamstrings and quads.

"Im Still Standin"

I am sorry it has taken me so long to post this video but great things have been happening! This was from a couple of weeks ago. I was able to stand with my trainer just locking out my left knee and I was able to lock out my right knee and hold my hips without holding on!!! I have never felt as stable and strong! It was so amazing! We both started crying. Since then we have been working on strengthening and standing longer. I know I am healed and that this is just the beginning of my body coming in line with God's word. After having done all I can do I will continue to stand on the promises of God! As I stand in the spirit I will stand in the natural! :) Praise Jesus! 

Just a few scriptures :)

Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Ephesians 6:13

Now I stand on solid ground,

and I will publicly praise the Lord! 

Psalms 26:12

One Year!

Hello everyone!  

It has been a while since I last posted anything...sorry. I have been busy with school and therapy but now school is out for the summer. Today, June 3rd, marks exactly one year since I moved out to California to start training at Project Walk! It really does not feel like it has been a year and I thank everyone for your prayers and support this past year. I was only able to post this one video. I had several others from when my parents were here for Easter of me standing with the help of my trainer but for some reason they would not upload. However, in this one you can see how much stronger my core is getting. I used to not be able to sit up like this without holding on to anything. My trainer and I had been working on this but I would never be able to hold it and one day I was able to hold it. It was so exciting! With my core getting stronger every day it makes it easier to do other things. This past week we started trying to crawl. Its very hard to do and I do need help to keep my hips from falling to the side and to pull my knee through but I know that this will get stronger also. I have really made great progress this past year and look forward to sharing with everyone the progress I make this summer. Everyday in every way I'm getting better and better in Jesus name! 

New Stuff

Hey everyone! Here are some new videos that I have been needing to post. The first one is from about 2 weeks ago and the second is from last friday. Things are going great out here. God is so amazing!!! He is still the healer! 

Here I am holding my hips myself and we are working on letting go of the bar so I can stand without holding on! I did this for about 20 min which is amazing!

This video is of a new exercise that we just started. My hip flexors have been initiating and we have been working on getting them stronger. Hip flexors are what pull your leg through when you are walking. 

New Pictures and Video!

Working on balance and hip stability.

Back extension exercise

I have not been able to hold myself this well with so little help!!
