Last week a member of a special
needs group that I belong to post a Bible scripture verse to encourage other
special needs parents. Some parents were encouraged, but some parents were very
upset and got the post removed. I know
everyone has different beliefs, but I know where I go when everything falls
apart. I go to my knees and cry out to God.
I don’t know what I would have
done without God by my side during this journey. When we started this journey
and my son lost all language and wasn’t responding to his name, I was scared-
no terrified. God met me where I was and gave me peace. I felt assurance that
he was going to walk along side me in this journey, and I wasn’t going to be
completely alone. Yes, there were times in the beginning I was mad and wondered
why this was happening to us. I mean I did everything right. I followed the
pregnancy diet of the do and do not eat list, I took all my prenatal vitamins,
I went to every appointment, I did exercise, and once born, I took my son to all
of his appointments to get his shots, and I was so careful of germs (yes, clean
freak). I just didn’t understand how this could happen. But, even when I was
angry, HE was there. Then, when my son got really sick, and we were in the
hospital and seeing specialists, my anxiety could have got the best of me, but
he gave me hope and renewed my strength each day.
Where ever you are in this
journey, I pray that you also have someone to go to. It is too hard to walk
alone.
29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak. 30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will
soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint. - Isaiah 40:29-31
