Here we are only 19 days from leaving France and when we arrived last May John could barely roll himself over and now he can stand by himself. Already he has taken a few steps (but those were performed two different times in the absence of his father). However, he does love to stand and play with his stackable cups (his toy of preference). It is an amazing thing to see your little baby begin to become more grown up. It made me think how normal physical growth is and how it seems to happen with very little input from the parents. But spiritual growth is different...human beings do not by themselves grow in the Lord, it is a work of the Spirit through prayer and the Word of God. We water but the Lord causes the growth. My prayer this morning was that John (and his little brother) will both stand and walk physically but more importantly that they would "stand and walk" with their Maker, King, and Savior...Jesus Christ.
Yay, John!! Unfortunately, a lot of trickery had to be used to entice John to walk both times. haha.
