Sending Olivia a little LOVE

Today was a big day for Emma. It was the much anticipated JUMP ROPE FOR HEART event at Emma's school. Emma has been talking about this for weeks and hitting us all up for some sponsorship money in the process. This event raises money for the American Heart Association. Emma came bouncing in the door this afternoon full of stories of her jump roping event. Then she got out her planner and homework folder so we could go over her spelling. And when I looked in her folder this is what I found!

Emma had never mentioned it, but she dedicated her jumping today to our cousin Olivia! My favorite part of this little certificate is that it says "my cousin." Technically Olivia isn't even related to Emma. She's on Ryan's side of our family. But Emma could care less! She's claimed Olivia as her own! Well if you know me at all you know this little certificate turned me into a puddle of tears. I thought is was especially fitting for Emma to do this because Olivia has been facing some serious obstacles again! And tomorrow she is having yet another surgery. This isn't as major as some of her previous surgeries, but definitely something to make a matter of prayer. So please join us in thinking about Olivia tonight as she's in the hospital yet again, and lets bring her name before our great God who has healed her and blessed her life so many times before!
