We are so excited to announce our first fundraising event for Shelby’s Fast Feet research fund!  If you are in the metroplex area, we would love for you to come join us at Mooyah Burger and Fries at 2720 State Hwy 121 in Euless next Thursday June 30 between 5 and 10pm.  If you mention Shelby with your order, 20% will go to the research fund.  Our family will be there hanging out.  Please come support this cause that is so important to us and enjoy some good eats!  It’ll be a neighborhood party.  And if you have any questions, please let me know!  Thank you so much for supporting Shelby’s Fast Feet. 

Well, it’s been a couple of days since Shelby got back from camp.  I can’t help but wonder what I was worried about.  I have rarely seen her as joyful as when I picked her up.  She was so happy that, yes – you guessed it – I cried again.  Happy tears to greet my happy girl.  In this picture, she is getting ready to ride the zip line.  She rode horses, went to a dance, canoed, played mud ball, and participated in the talent show.  And she smiled, and smiled and smiled some more.  Even with her limitations and her struggles to communicate, my girl is a people person.  I can only imagine how she shined surrounded by 160 kids and amazing counselors all week!  It does a mommy’s heart good.  I’m so thankful that she had this experience and so glad to have her back home for more summer adventures.  God cares for me, and he loves Shelby better than I ever could.  Maybe someday I will learn to trust him completely.  Until then I will continue to work to “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”  1 Peter 5:7
