"How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word. With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from you commandments! I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you." Psalm 119:9-11

Why do we try to conform God to our will? Live in His word and know true joy.

Monday~
"Make me to know your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long. Remember your mercy, O LORD, and your steadfast love, for they have been from of old."
Psalm 25:4-6

God reveals the truth of our time and all time to us through Scripture.

More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb."
Psalm 19:7-10

All the laws in all the books in all the libraries of the world are but a footnote to the law of God.

Wednesday~

Don't measure success by society's standards. Use Christ as your measuring stick.

So here it is...

An Ethan update! Some of you may know, but most of you probably do not. While in Sioux Falls Ethan starting "getting better" meaning he started taking steps, regaining speech, getting his color back, and being responsive.
This was very exciting to us, but we were scared that it may just be another of his "peaks." However it was a key that unlocked something else!
It is official that he has a severe gluten intolerance. It was so bad that it was effecting every aspect of his life. Now we have a special diet for him, and keeping an eye on what sissy feeds him.

But otherwise I will let the pictures speek for themselves. But before going, I do want to personally thank each and every one of you that have prayed for our little boy. Unfortunately we put him through almost 1 1/2 years of poking and proding, but I am thankful that we finally figured it out! Please do continue to pray for us as we are still dangling while waiting on DSS about the adoption and other stuff! Thanks!

It is so nice that you finally have an answer for Ethan's sickness. It's not always fun to have a special diet, but it's so much better than something more serious!!! Happy for you...

Ethan has come a long way! Grandma and Grandpa are thankful for that. We are praying that the new diet will work for him and he will keep getting stronger everyday. All the little things (walking, color back, eating) are just wonderful. He looks so good! We love him so much.
Give my babies a hug and kiss from gram
Love you all
