Journal Entry 2/19 From Kristi

And just like that, Zachary is waking.

“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for Me?” Jer. 32:2

It was his toe that qualified him.

Wiggle your toe. Such a simple task. Yet far below his injury level so the doctor was excited. One little toe that was able to wiggle on command, and suddenly the doors swung open wide for Zac in allowing him to access new equipment that would otherwise be far from his ability.

Today was awesome as Zac was hoisted up and strapped to the Locomat Robotic Walker... never mind the fact that it did all the walking for him. He was qualified to walk in the half-million-dollar robot because his toe moved.

He loved it. He said at first he felt like a giant tuna hanging in mid-air after being caught. Haha. How does this boy keep finding wonderful humor in everything?? He cracks me up!

He was able to view himself by a mirror that was placed in front of him. And he walked. The robot was computed to compensate for the effort that he put forth. So he wiggled his toe and the robot did the rest of the work, allowing him to walk. Walk!

So often I feel like that little toe. So very little faith to offer in the scope of all that is needed to walk through this life. Yet the Lord says, “wiggle that toe, and I’ll do the rest of the work.” So I wiggle that little speck of trust, the Lord multiplies it 100-fold and suddenly allows me to “walk in faith”, when we (the Lord and I) both know all along that it is Gods doing, not mine.

I’ve never quite thought so much about toes. But I think this adventure with Zac has made me quite thankful for them.

“..if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move... “ Matt 17:20

We have a lot of mountains ahead of us. I’m glad all I need to do is just wiggle one toe.
