Bethany

Our Bessie Boo is 32 - June 21st!  It is hard to believe all those years have flown by!  She is a young lady who loves life and all it has to offer...quite a social butterfly and doesn't know a stranger!  Even when she was a just little one, it was not unusual to find her on any stranger's lap if I wasn't watching very closely!  She is a people person with a beautiful smile that simply attracts even those who do not know her!

Bessie Ballerina Bethany loves to sing.  She has delighted us with music since she was big enough to make sounds!  From her early years in elementary school she was in talent shows where her favorite music was the songs from Disney movies.  She insisted on costumes, wigs and the works!!  And so it was - and remains - the song bird keeps on singing!  She more recently won first prize in a YMCA talent competition a few years ago, and has aspirations of singing more in church and perhaps even recording one day. 

Bethany singing at a talent show Bethany has been going through some especially tough physical difficulties these last three years.  She has had some chronic pain that doctors cannot find the reason for.  It has been a day by day battle for her, and as if that weren't enough, she broke her ankle about 6 months ago.  She certainly did not plan on this glitch as we had been working on the pursuit of a job and independent living.  However, she is a good sport and we are praying with her for a miracle or remedy soon.  We may be taking a trip to Mao Clinic soon to get a new evaluation.  We appreciate prayers for her always!

Bessie & Bella & Angel In the meantime, her little furry friends, Bella and Angel keep her comforted and she just keeps smiling in spite of the challenges!  

This birthday girl will celebrate regardless, but we look forward to the next season when she can be back on her feet again!  Happy birthday, Bethany!  May there be many more well ones for you in the years ahead!  Here's to a girl with big dreams and an even bigger God who specializes in just those things!
