    Christian HAS changed the way I look at life and I am VERY PROUD to say that he is my friend even though we have never met.

    I have been following you on Facebook. I too have a child who has faced a life of stares and mean comments for the past 25 years. Brandon had brain cancer at age 6. He is now 31, mentally is about 7 years old. Doesn't look "normal" but he is my hero, the most amazing human being i know.
    I very much love and respect you and your family for sharing your amazing story of love.
    I work for an oculoplastic surgeon and have had so many amazing patients over the years who have faced such hurdles and many, many surgeries. Always know we were given true angels here on earth as our very own. We are the truly very blessed parents. Each time I see an update on Christian it makes me smile to see such a beautiful little angel growing and developing in to a perfect little man and an amazing big brother. Love and respect to you always, From another very greatfull mommy. Justine Strebel XOXOXOXO

    I have just started following Christian's story about a week or so ago after coming across a share from someone in newsfeed. I have to say, I absolutely adore this little man. You are so blessed to have him and he is so blessed to have you. What a beautiful life! Thank you for sharing his journey, I will continue to follow his journey and share!

    Siete una famiglia forte. Un esempio per molte persone.
    Nella vostra vita confidante in Dio Geova, vi darà ciò di cui avrete bisogno per affrontare le situazioni difficili.
    Che Dio vi benedica e vi guidi nel crescere vostro figlio nel miglior modo possibile.

    Salmi 61:1-4 "Odi, o Dio, il mio grido d’implorazione.
    Presta attenzione alla mia preghiera.
     2 Dall’estremità della terra griderò, sì, a te, quando il mio cuore si indebolirà.
    A una roccia che è più alta di me voglia tu guidarmi.
     3 Poiché tu hai mostrato d’essere per me un rifugio,
    Una forte torre in faccia al nemico.
     4 Certamente sarò ospite nella tua tenda a tempi indefiniti;
    Di sicuro mi rifugerò nel nascondiglio delle tue ali."

    I really really love you. Christian.

    You are created to receive the greatest love
    You experience this love in every portion of your life
    You are created to receive the greatest love
    You experience this love in every portion of your life
    From the beginning God has shown His love to bless you
    As we greet and bless each other there is fruit of love
    Because you are with us we experience tremendous joy
    Let us come before our God with thanksgiving in our heart
    You are created to receive the greatest love
    You now experience this never ceasing love
    You are created to receive the greatest love
    You now experience this never ceasing love

Miracle at 705 Riley Drive

Miracles still happen. I know because I am raising one. They are not just something in the Bible that happened long ago. They are not just wishes we make when we blow out our birthday candles (although that's lots of fun to do.) Miracles still happen. I know because today I witnessed one. Today was surgery number 6 for my sweet little Christian. I have been dreading it. It never gets easier and each time is always a little different, so there is only so much to be said for "preparing." How do you prepare yourself to place your entire life into the hands of a stranger in scrubs? How do you prepare yourself to see the love of your life scared, confused, and in pain, all while you are totally helpless to make it stop? That's kind of what it's like each time. And although I always spend the several days before surgery crying profusely and constantly in prayer, and although nothing I do makes it easier to bear when the time comes, each time I witness a miracle. ...

Don't Judge Me! An Encouragement to Self Examination

"Don't judge" has been thrown around so much lately and to be honest, it erks me. Don't misunderstand me here. I am not saying that we should look down and snarl our noses at others for making different (or even bad) choices than what we agree with. Our job is to love others.  But this whole "don't judge" thing is getting out of control. Y'all know I am a Christ follower and I am all about some Jesus and the Woman at the Well "Neither do I condemn you!" stuff!  (That's in John Chapter 8 if you want to read it. Great story!) So don't misunderstand me. Hear me out. First, people are constantly getting offended because they see judgment where none is intended. I see even the most honest and benignba j statements being turned into something that they are not, especially on Facebook. If you can read one single facebook post about someone and decide that you know their heart's intentions and what they are thinking, then maybe you...

If it Was Easy

Last week we visited Tennessee School for the Blind. This was a trip that I have been hearing about for about a year. I’ve known it was coming, but I had no idea what to expect. There was some anticipation with a touch of dread mixed in about this trip.  The purpose of this visit was an evaluation. That single word is too small to really describe what all took place, really. Christian was evaluated on pretty much everything. His vision was checked (no brainer, but they did have an ophthalmologist just take a look, to confirm his vision impairment. It’s always good to have it documented on paper.) The school AKA TSB also brought in physical, occupational, and speech therapists, vision teachers, orientation and mobility specialists, assistive technology experts, a psychologist, and just an entire array of specialists to do this evaluation. He was ranked against other blind children his age to get a more accurate measure because it doesn’t really give us a good picture to try t...
