ian was back on a four-wheeler for the first time today - which means our trips to the country just got a lot more exciting. he's either getting a lot stronger or we're getting more daring with driving a golf cart and riding a four wheeler becoming newfound activities.
the pool opened this weekend, which means upcoming date nights with chlorine and pizza. i'm praying that ian can walk into the pool this year instead of riding in on a wheelchair.
i asked ian if we could request prayer for his motivation. he's working hard - but only when he wants to. i know that only God can keep him motivated and engaged and aware of a greater purpose. we would love any prayers for that specifically.
"my forgetfulness is the problem. it's running rampant. i have trouble remembering the goal. I need God's power in my life." - Ian
thank you,

Received my "Green Swirl" painting the other day. Thanks so much! Will be praying for motivation for you Ian! Love Jay and Casey
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteIan, your comment reminded me of how
we all have trouble remembering our goals. For me it is because I lose focus on Jesus, not because I suffer from a brain injury. This world's worries tempt me to get my focus off Christ. When I do that I have "trouble remembering" to REST/TRUST IN JESUS, which is one of my goals. I'm still praying for you and your family. You have all been through much that only Christ Jesus fully knows and understands. I'm glad you desire God's continued power in your life, so do I.

Aaww; FUN! (:
ReplyDeleteI will pray for you guys -- motivation, specifically (and then some). What great strides though in Ian's progress!
God bless and have a wonderful summer!

ReplyDeleteGod has crowned you with much knowledge Ian. Praying♥
Consider it done...
ReplyDeleteOk Ian Praying♥ Wendy's right.
ReplyDeletePraying for you both. You give me such hope and courage to "press on."
ReplyDeleteI will pray for Ian's motivation, and humbly ask for prayers for my own. Life is slipping by, and as much as I want to remain focused upon Christ with my every breath, I find my mind elsewhere. Therefore my actions aren't centered upon my work for the Lord. I do so wish to live entirely for Christ!
ReplyDeleteI keep trying to come up with something profound t say, but coming up empty.
ReplyDeleteYour spirit is large. And God is with you always.
My heart goes with you and Ian.
Praying for God's power in your life, Ian, to help you remember the goal. Your progress since I've been following your blog has been remarkable--so God glorifying! May both of you be showered with His grace.
