Some of you know that Katy is being tutored by a dear lady that has many years of experience in teaching among a number of other things. I could go on about her credentials and what a wonderful person she is but this post is about what happened yesterday at Katy’s reading session. Katy has had a very difficult time reading. She has trouble retaining what she has learned. Sometimes it feels like we never move on because we have to go back and learn what we thought she had already mastered. Opal brought out a book that Katy had finished last summer just to see how much she remembered. Katy began to read with out missing too many words she finished the first story. She read the second story and I was amazed at how much faster she was reading. She was reading the third story when I became so overwhelmed with happiness. I had goose bumps on my arms and tears were starting to fall. Opal reached over and put her hand on Katy’s shoulder and began to pray. She immediately thanked God for his faithfulness and asked forgiveness when our faith was less than it should be. She asked him to continue to help us with Katy’s learning disability. Time just stood still for a while. We actually left 15 minutes early but Katy read more stories and flash cards than we have ever been able to do in our hour sessions. Thank you Father for hearing and answering our prayers!!!
Mom, that is great! I'm so happy to hear this news! Good job Katy!
