WOW!
Ian, you are doing such a great job memorizing Scripture!!! Thank you for the post and for showing us the results of your hard work.
I viewed your post this morning at work. The work day is almost over, so now I have a chance to print Psalm 103 and follow along with you and Larissa. I have to print it and follow along because, unlike YOU, I haven't committed it to memory!
Keep working hard, Ian. We are excited and thankful to God for all of your progress.
Thank You, Lord, for continuing to heal Ian. We happily anticipate seeing what else You will be doing in Ian's life.

Still Praying!

P.S. Thanks for talking with me on Sunday, Ian. I'm sorry that I get a little tongue-tied and stutter when I talk face-to-face. That's why I'm a "blog-hog"...easier for me to type!

I am a friend of Renee Martin.
Ian, in reading your story I am reminded that those "in Christ" are now His Holy Temple.
You are the dwelling place of the Most High God.
Your desire to use the the very Word of God to refocus your mind and voice humbles as well as challanges me to let His very life and light SHINE through me as He is shining through you!!
Thank you for being a vessel where His Glory is proclaimed!
Praying for you!

I was overcome with tears of joy this morning as I watched this video of Ian and what the LORD is doing in his life. I too, had to print out Psalm 103 because I don't have it memorized and I wanted to follow along. Thank you for sharing this. I am more certain than ever that GOD is going to restore Ian to wholeness soon. I am the Mother of Rose, who had a class with Ian at IUP.

I receive encouragement from the Lord every time I watch this video.
Thanks, Ian, for pressing on and thus encouraging each of us to do the same, with whatever our Lord sees fit to walk us through, be it difficult or easy.
