About MeDan and Stephanie met in January of 2000 while attending SBU. As they got to know each other they started dating. In January 2002, Dan purposed to Stephanie asking her to spend the rest of her life with him. She said yes and the story begins. August 10th, 2002, Dan and Stephanie were married in font of a large gathering of family, friends, and church members at First Baptist Church in Warrensburg Mo. For their Honeymoon they were blessed to go on a seven day cruise to Cozumel, Grand Cayman Island and Ocho Rios Jamaica. On March 22nd, 2004 Dan and Stephanie became parents to Josiah. When Josiah was a baby, he was very passive and seemed to pick things up pretty quickly. On May 13th, 2007 Mothers Day, Dan and Stephanie became parents again to Jackson. Jackson is our miracle baby. Born with Morganella, and now dealing with random seizures that the neurologist says he should grow out of when he’s 3 or 4. This has kept us on our knees, and we believe that God has a special plan for him. The Gould’s are currently in transition from Plano TX, where Dan served Grace Community Church as the Studentu0026hellip;

A Christ Follower[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxfaMqBsPKYu0026amp;hl=en_USu0026amp;fs=1u0026amp;] I am thrilled that you’ve checked out his blog and this page for that matter. I want to take just a moment and share with you about the most important decision you could ever make! Because this is so important, I have dedicated this page to explain how you can have a relationship with God. Here are some basics to get you started thinking about making a life-changing decision for Jesus Christ: 1. God created us because He LOVES us and wants us to ENJOY a personal relationship with Him. “Even before the world was made, God had already chosen us to be His through our union with Christ . . . because of His love, God had already decided that through Jesus Christ He would make us His children – this was God’s pleasure and purpose.” Ephesians 1:4-5 2. HOWEVER, there is a problem! You see, God is perfect, and we are imperfect! The Bible calls this imperfection “SIN.”* Our sin separates us from God, and it results in a consequence. That consequence is eternal separation from God.** The only way for us to enjoy a relationship with God is for us to be perfect ourselves–but nobody isu0026hellip;

Pneumonia Again and a Blast from the Past

That’s right Jackson now has pneumonia for the 3rd time this year. Luckily we caught it before it got to bad and needed to be in the hospital. He seems to be doing better already. We picked up a battery operated nose aspirator from Wal-Mart yesterday and it has been amazing so far. However, it is gross when the clear cup fills up with green snot after sucking a kids nostril.

On another note, while working on my talk for this weekend, I had a music shuffle going on through itunes and came across a song that believe it or not, played a huge role in my transformation at age 18. Music has a powerful way to influence us whether we want to admit it or not. I found a video on youtube with the song. Listen and Enjoy! (Warning, it is a rap song, so don’t hurt yourself bobbin you head or waving your arms in the air like ya just don’t care!)

Prayer for Jackson – Day 3

We are HOME!!!! Jackson is almost back to himself! He is still congested! The respiratory nurse said it wasn’t in his chest anymore but sound to be in his upper respiratory. He tends to run a slight fever so we will be watching that like a hawk and continue to give him Motrin.

Thanks again for all the prayers, visits, comments from posts, phone calls, e-mails, and txts. We are so blessed to have friends and family that care so deeply for us!
