Thank you for sharing so honestly. For what it’s worth, I’m glorifying God right this moment, praising Him for His mercy and grace; for the way He has revealed a little of His heart through Joshua. Won’t it be amazing when you can really know in eternity all the lives Joshua touches?

I’d be lying if I said I follow your story on a consistent basis, but when you come to mind, or I hear mention of your name, I am encouraged by your faith and the evidence of God’s work in your lives. I’m glad I found my way to your blog. I’m praying for Joshua.

Michael-
I’ve been following your family’s story through yours and Jana’s blogs – I admire your strength and courage in the face of Joshua’s illness. With three little ones of my own, I can only imagine how hard it is to deal with such a situation. It is encouraging to read about your faith. Brian (Breezy) and I moved to Brownfield almost a year ago, and have been blessed to find a wonderful church here. Through a few struggles of our own, we have been able to see God’s grace and blessings, and have become more faithful followers. I definitely look to you, Jana, and your beautiful family as an example to follow.
You guys are always in my thoughts and prayers and I enjoy reading about Joshua’s progress. He is an amazing little boy – my oldest will be 5 in June and has the same beautiful blond hair that Joshua has. Miss Andi is a doll, too. Our youngest, Madilynn, is 19 months. I’m sure they share the fact that they have their Daddies wrapped around their little fingers! We have another boy, Blake, in-between – 3 years old.
Thank you for sharing your faith and your family. It is inspiring.

Michael – your dad sent this post to David, Jim and I (the old prayer group that has been more off lately, than on). Wow – what a testimony and what truth on your part.

Providence – what a blessing that we do, on occasion, get to see His plan and design.

It is so fun to be 57 years old and still be amazed by His grace, mercy and love. Thanks for sharing. Again, Wow.

Thanks for your kind words, Krissy.

Krissy… like, “Krissy who is married to the guy I almost burned down the town with?”
