Ever had a long, exhausting week? One where when you get home on Friday you just want to sit down on the couch and crash. Yeah me too. And strangely enough I find both me and my wife sitting in front of our computers at midnight on the longest, hardest week of our lives. I guess all the excitement, fear or just being worked up keeps me from sleep, but I know that I am tired. Keep the prayers for strength coming because I need them.<\/p>\n

This morning was like somebody kicked me in the gut and knocked the air out of me. I sat there gasping for air so scared I would never be able to breath again. It’s that moment where your brain tells you something is seriously wrong all set in motion by words from a man’s mouth. I know that God’s presence is the only way I was able to look at the woman I adore and tell her it will be okay.<\/p>\n

Did I know that? No way. I still don’t know. But here is what I do know; I am a father to a son and he is wonderful. I know that I live within the providence of my Father God and Noah was entrusted to Julie and me. I am humbled by God’s goodness to me.<\/p>\n

My little boy still has many obstacles to overcome and he needs many miracles from God to be made well. I boldly ask God to heal my son if it his will. I trust God to know what is best for Noah, for my family and for my future. In the meantime I look forward to singing songs, reading books and telling my son about the wonderful love of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

I want everyone to know that Julie and I are truly blessed by your love and compassion on our behalf. I might have never made it to my couch this week if not for your prayers and your petition before God. I stand in awe of the God of Wonders and patiently wait to watch my son get better through the power your of prayer. – Ethan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
