Spiritual Attack Testing My Faith - Part 3

CKS is reading again.  Last week he wanted to read, but he could not focus or keep his eyes on the page.  He could not sound out words and did not recognize common words he knows, like "the", "on", and "what".  Today, he knew all of the common words he had previously known and learned three new words, and he had no trouble sounding out and reading new words.  All praise to God, our loving and gracious Heavenly Father.

I did NOT change our diet.  This is our VBS week.  The boys are finishing up their swim lessons.  This week, we are eating eggs and oranges for breakfast, VBS snacks (cookies, trail mix, crackers, pudding), boxed granola/ezekiel cereal with raw milk for lunch, fruit or ice cream for snack, and GAPS type foods for dinner, plus rice, potatoes, or bread.  It is NOT the strictly healthy food diet we used to adhere to.  Truly, we are free.

SSS is more cheerful and cooperative again.  He continues to potty regularly on his own with no accidents, and this on the big people potty, with or without the little toddler potty seat on top!

SSS actually graduated today from ISR swim lessons.  He earned his trophy!  He tested in winter clothes today and handled himself masterfully (at 3 years and 3 months).  He immediately flips to a float, no matter how he enters the water, and he can swim-float-swim to the edge or to the steps to get himself out of the pool, even while weighted down with drenched clothes, coat, socks, and shoes.  I am so proud of him.  He has a blast and thinks that it is all fun and games.  He has the biggest smile on his face when he gets flipped upside down and dumped into the water head first.  Amazing!

CKS tests in winter clothes in two days.  He is also doing amazingly well.  I am so pleased.

I shared our testimony again with someone new last night.  It was so good for both of us to hear what God has done and what he continues to do for us.  She was amazed to hear that all six of us were healed of food and chemical sensitivities, and especially that our son was healed from autism.  We just do not hear of children being healed of autism, but NOTHING is impossible for God!  I DO NOT FEAR anymore what will happen when I share our story and what God has done, because it is all true and it needs to be told!

Faith matters!  What we believe matters!

Galatians 5:6 "Nothing matters, except faith expressing itself in love."

I John 3:23 "And this is His command, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us."

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His One and Only Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life."
