Darius Goes West

Scott and I attended Leadership Ga this past weekend and were so inspired by a group of young men. Please visit their website and watch the video at http://www.dariusgoeswest.org/the-film/

I promise you will enjoy it!!

Things happen in our lives that we never completely understand. God truly has a plan for all of us and it is so amazing when you are able to be a witness. After discovering that Nate would have hearing loss this week we were so touched by Darius and his friends. They really spoke to our hearts and let us know that everyone can make their mark on this world. They are a challenge to each of us to become better people and to do our best to make this world a better place. I often feel that Nate has had an impact on many people's lives already in just the short time that he has been here. He has brought so many people closer to God, their families, and friends. Nate challenges me everyday to cherish what is meaningful and to bless other lives as we have been. So please take the time to look at this website and purchase on of their dvds. You will love it!

This group of guys are currently traveling the US and would love for you to host them at any group setting that you think would learn from them. They do an amazing job.

Nate is growing so fast. He is up to 17 lbs. Yeah!!! We are so proud. He has done so well since he has been off the feeding tube and we are so lucky!!He really is a fighter and defies all odds.


They told us that he wouldn't be able to come off the feeding tube until he no longer aspirated. The thickened formula would be too much of a challenge for him to take all of his nutrients. It would require too much energy. Not for Nate. He takes his thickened formula all day and even though he has to work harder, he keeps on going. Nothing stops this little guy.
