A story on leaving your reflection behind in your victories.

1.
Some
trust
in
chariot’s,
some
trust
in
horses,
but
we
trust
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
our
God
During
the
2017
Christmas
season
we
are
assisting
our
daughter
and
son-­‐in-­‐law,
Jessica
and
Chris
Angsomwine
as
they
transitioned
back
to
Houston,
TX
from
Boynton,
Beach,
Florida.
They
finished
up
their
2-­‐½
year
stay
in
the
West
Palm
Beach,
Florida
area
as
part
of
their
daughter
Briella’s
limb
lengthening
Journey.
The
journey
was
a
huge
success
and
a
perfect
example
of
mixing
faith
and
medicine.
Just
four
years
ago,
Briella’s
only
option
was
amputation,
and
now
departs
with
her
own
two
legs
and
feet.
God
came
through
for
our
family
in
an
immense
manner.
It
has
truly
been
a
holistic
journey
that
tested
faith,
finances,
medicine,
patience,
relationships,
time
…
but
most
of
all
everyone’s
trust
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
our
God.
The
journey
of
a
healing
vs.
amputation
began
with
a
prophetic
word
from
Minister
Joe
Jordan
who
spoke
a
word
to
Jessica
and
Chris
once
he
prayed
for
Briella’s
leg.
That
word
was…
“open
the
Bible
to
Proverbs
3:26.’’
That
verse
in
the
KJV
says
“For
the
LORD
shall
be
thy
confidence,
and
shall
keep
thy
foot
from
being
taken.”
Some
may
think
it
was
a
stretch
of
scripture;
however,
it
was
exactly
what
God
provided
to
carry
them
into
their
journey
and
victory
of
faith.
We
are
constantly
reminded
that
God’s
Word
is
‘alive’
and
‘powerful’
and
takes
on
‘action’
in
the
very
lives
of
those
who
put
their
trust
in
the
Lord.
The
last
2-­‐½
half
years
has
given
fresh
meaning
to
the
words
in
Psalm
20:6-­‐7
“Now
this
I
know:
The
Lord
gives
victory
to
his
anointed.
He
answers
him
from
his
heavenly
sanctuary
with
the
victorious
power
of
his
right
hand.
Some
trust
in
chariots,
and
some
trust
in
horses
but
we
trust
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
our
God.”
It
is
true,
we
have
put
some
trust
in
medicine,
funding,
medical
care,
a
wonderful
surgeon,
friends,
the
church
-­‐-­‐-­‐
but
hands
down,
when
we
fell
to
our
knees
we
can
say
we
have
put
our
trust
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
our
God.
As
we
have
done
so,
we
have
manifested
all
seven
meanings
of
the
name
of
God
which
include
–
provider,
redeemer,
and
healer.
God
has
provided
the
surgeon,
the
financial
means
as
He
provided
the
healing,
and
redeemed
Briella’s
leg.
The
biblical
promise
in
Proverbs
3:26
was
fulfilled
as
our
family
all
walked
it
out.
Again,
that
promise
was
“The
Lord
was
our
confidence,
and
Briella’s
leg
and
foot
was
not
taken.”
His
Word
came
alive!
The
scars
on
her
legs
became
a
symbol
of
God’s
healing
vs.
something
to
cover-­‐up
and
hide.

2. Briella’s
very
name
means
‘The
Lord
is
My
Strength’
and
she
has
endured
the
journey
through
the
world-­‐class
limb
lengthening
at
the
Paley
Institute
with
world-­‐class
surgeon
Dr.
Dror
Paley.
Briella’s
journey
is
an
incredible
triumph
and
victory;
and
she
leaves
with
the
reflection
of
her
story
and
life
on
the
walls
of
both
St.
Mary’s
Medical
Center
and
Paley
Institute.
Below
are
two
of
the
many
images
reflecting
Briella’s
journey
and
victory.

Summary
During
special
challenges
and
journeys
you
can
trust
in
churches,
people,
medical
care,
retirement
funds,
savings,
and
even
horses
and
chariots
to
win
your
victory.
However,
lasting
victories
that
allow
you
to
leave
a
reflection
of
the
one
whom
you
believe
-­‐-­‐
comes
when
you
trust
in
the
name
of
The
Lord
Your
God.
Money,
jobs,
retirement
funds,
chariots,
surgeons,
medical
care
by
themselves
do
not
provide
lasting
reflections.
Personal
reflections
that
live-­‐on
and
last
into
eternity
come
as
we
reflect
the
image
of
God
in
and
through
our
actions
–
as
we
trust
in
him.
This
is
the
essence
of
2
Corinthians
3:18
“But
we
all,
with
unveiled
face,
beholding
as
in
a
mirror
the
glory
of
the
Lord,
are
being
transformed
into
the
same
image
from
glory
to
glory,
just
as
from
the
Lord,
the
Spirit!”
Below
is
an
image
I
captured
of
Briella
the
day
after
she
was
born.
I
immediately
knew
that
with
her
name
meaning
‘The
Lord
is
my
strength’,
and
being
born
with
the
limb
deficiency
…
that
she
was
praying
for
herself
in
advance
of
her
journey.
She
and
her
parents
have
been
victorious
and
leave
a
legacy
and
Briella’s
reflection
on
the
walls
of
the
medical
facilities
as
well
as
in
the
hearts
of
many
people.
She
has
ushered
in
God’s
glory
through
her
ongoing
reflection.
