We closed with a Palm Sunday night singing at our church.
Izzy had been contemplating singing for a while now, since she did this at Christmas.
Her courage was the issue. She asked Shelby several weeks back if she would sign a song while she sang it - thus, taking all eyes off of Izzy and placing them on Shelby. Pretty good logic I thought.
Here is my lovely and brave daughter practicing singing her first ever complete song, Hope's Song. It is a beautiful song sung by Rebecca St. James on the Veggie Tales Easter Carol dvd.
Shelby did sign it for her, and although I love to watch Shelby sign, my eyes were on Izzy. It was a first for her and my stomach was doing butterflies for her nerves and my lips were whispering prayers for her strength and courage.
Prayers answered.
