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.

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

A New Year!

Hello Everyone!
I hope that ya'lls new year is off to a great start. I was off for two weeks because of Christmas and New Years but started working out again on January 5th. It was a great start to the new year because I picked up right where I left off. It was a great day and I felt like I had not missed the workouts that I had. One thing that my trainer and I discovered, however, was that my lower back muscle on my right side was not initiating. I have been unable to hold my right hip as well as I can hold the left and we thought that this was because of my right oblique being week. We had been working out my oblique and it is getting strong but I was still having trouble holding my hip because my back muscle was not holding me. I told this to my connect group and they prayed for it to start working. Well, on last Wednesday I was able to use it! Noq all we need to do is strengthen it and get it stronger. It was so incredible. Prayer is so powerful! I truly believe that great things will happen this year and I am really excited to see what God is going to do! Here are some pictures from the first day back and Wednesday.
