We have some really good news. Our house sold! After almost a year of trying to sell we are so grateful and excited about finding a new home.



We are also grateful Luke has stayed so healthy this winter. Even with all the bugs going around he didn't catch anything. We are still working on getting his power chair. Its been a challenge to figure out which joystick is easiest for him to operate the chair especially since he's not very motivated to drive yet. Its a new experience for him to be able to move so it will take some time.



Sometimes I feel sad because Luke and Livi can't play together like other kids. I know it really doesn't matter though because they love eachother.  She's been trying to teach him the alphabet and it makes him laugh. She helps lift his head up when it falls down. She helps me get him in the bathtub. They love bath time together. Even though they can't run around together they have a special bond.

And here's the birthday boy. We had a blast celebrating Luke's 2nd birthday with family and friends.




Happy Birthday! I'm so thankful for these two years. When Luke was first diagnosed we had no idea what to expect. Each birthday means so much to us.

    May this excerpt from my daily devotion encourage your hearts! Lola

    James 5:7-11

    “Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains.”

    [James 5:7]
    When I think of suffering, I often think of Job. After all his earthly wealth—including his entire family—is taken away, he shaves his head, tears his clothes, blesses the name of the Lord, and waits. He waits and waits and waits. Night after miserable night. It must have seemed to him like forever.

    Waiting is hard....

    Faithful God, we are hurting. As we sit in our sinful lives and face trials we never expected, give us the patience to be still. To survive in a deep dark place with hope that it won’t last forever. Please let us believe in your promises: redemption will occur, and restoration is not only possible, but true. Your mercy is beyond understanding. Help us know that the seed underneath the soil will be nourished by rains we cannot see today, but in time will come. It is so hard, Lord, to wait. To believe in things unseen and hope that isn’t readily self-evident. And yet we trust in your word and your promises. Help us persevere in our suffering. Amen.
