This post has been a long, LONG TIME COMING! I’m sorry i haven’t been around much!
I love to blog and write and all this great stuff but, i am also a Pastor’s wife and mom to four amazing kiddos! One of those kiddos we just recently discovered has some form of autism. We are in the process of filling out mountains of paperwork, getting past medical records, and just trying to cope until we can get some help for out little guy.
He is such a joy and we love him deeply as we do our other kids but Weasel is different. Most people don’t see it. They just think he’s disobedient or high maintenance. We have people telling us we don’t discipline him enough. And we have people who won’t follow our instructions, and raise their voices at him…then after i spend 20 minutes calming him so his little hands and feet stop shaking so much i have to deal with questions like…”mommy why don’t people like me?” Yes we are still dealing with repercussions of that weekend.
He is a runner. When he gets overwhelmed he takes off. We have modified our house. We will install a fence, one he can’t climb.
I plan on blogging more about all of this but despite all of this God is here with us. Through the verbal tics, the frustrated yells (of weasel, not hubby and I), through the tears of watching our son struggle through life. God is here. He understands, He loves, He comforts. He never ever leaves!
Please pray for our family. Pray especially for our older children even though they are older , they are still young enough to not really comprehend.
Tornado prays nearly every day that weasel would become normal. Ahhh out of the mouth of babes! Oh if God would only make it so!
