With all of yesterday’s talk about therapy, I remembered back to a few weeks ago when we were visiting with family. Josiah began by showing everyone his “cartwheels.” (If you ask him, he’ll be happy to show you too – and even if you don’t ask, he’ll likely show you as well!) Josiah loves doing […]
Therapy
I love Fridays! And it’s not for the reason you think… Yes, I look forward to the weekend. Yes, it’s our lighter day of school. But most of all, Josiah has absolutely NO therapy on Friday.

God Never Fails
Yesterday’s post was on the optimistic side – which is where I tend to land 99% of the time.

Overwhelmed
This is the second of Nathan’s posts following Josiah’s diagnosis. He wrote this two days after the MRI. We were certainly overwhelmed. But yet, there was peace. Peace that transcends all understanding. Overwhelmed September 29, 2012 Do you have a list…a list of questions you want to ask God when you get to heaven? I […]
