treadmills and holidays
last week, ian got on a treadmill at therapy with assistance from us. on his best round, he got about 10 steps in on his own as he held on onto the handles.
it’s small to us that have full use of our legs, but to ian, it was a huge step.
in a few hours we leave for the mountains and the city, to celebrate jesus with our wonderful families.
please enjoy times of rest and hope.
love
i&l

I received the best Christmas present yesterday from my loving boyfriend. It was one of Ian's paitnings! He bought the Christmas wreathe. I cried when I opened it knowing that we were able to help in some small way. It is now hanging in our family room for all to enjoy. Thank you for all of your motivation and wisdom. You are both in my heart and in my prayers.
Wishing you and Ian a wonderful holiday!

Zechariah 4:10 (New Living Translation)
"Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin"
God rejoices and is blessing your work, Ian!
Still Praying!

I rejoice in every victory you share, Im so excited for you and Ian. #walkbythirty!! I'll continue to pray for you! You are such an example of Christ's love, so is Ian, "this is all fleeting," please tell him I said thank you both for sharing hope and life with others, and thank you so much Larissa for your blogging, sharing, for your transparency, your life example, your words of truth, your a real "look up to" in the faith to me and SO MANY others, just wanted to affirm you of things so evident. -Alyssa, 21 Ventura County, CA

I saw the video and was so extremely compelled to pray with all my heart and soul that God would give Ian breakthrough healing this next year. That you guys would continue to walk his path and that it lead to incredible things together. He smiled down and gave me extreme peace, and I know he has wonderful things in store. Stay faithful, accomplish greatness together, and than you for sharing.
