Thoughts from a scatterbrained Mom

ATTENTION: Please do not read this if you are a grammatical genius and base my intelligence on my grammar skills. I will tell you right now you will find numerous flaws. :) Blogging, journaling, jotting down crazy thoughts that run through my brain on a daily basis is good for this scatterbrained mommy. It gets my perspective right and keeps me focused. Lately, I have really been wanting to get back into this because I know the people that really care will read and pray for me accordingly. It is also a way that I get my feelings out and on paper so to speak and maybe help others realize that life is not perfect. Life is full of joy at times and sometimes there is going to be pain. Although one might look like they have it all together the answer is.... they just don't! No one does! You can't will yourself to have it all together. I don't care how many quotes from Ghandi about being centered and being positive you post sometimes it is just not going to happen. Cancer happens, death happens, disabilities happen. We live in a fallen world and we are broken people. If we were left there in that brokenness though it would be a sad and depressing world. We aren't left there! Praise God! We don't have to question God. When I do find myself crying out to him and asking the Holy Spirit always points me back to the hope that I have in Christ. I have a hope that will not fade. When Cancer or the suffering comes and I know it will I know that Christ has conquered it all for me and I can live out of that hope. I don't have to be in despair that my child is slower than the average 8 year old or that he will need special help with the simplest of tasks. No, I can have hope that that before the foundations of the world he knew my Caleb and knew I would be his mommy. He knew I would be patient and "just right" for him. :) So when the questions come about why did you put him on medication or why this or why that? I know that I can have confidence that I am doing what is best for Caleb and God has given Shane and I authority to act in his best interest. Just an FYI....It's annoying when people think they are giving helpful advice and ends up being very hurtful...if you have never had a child that is suffering from ADHD, ADD or on any form of Autism spectrum I don't need to know what you "think" about the medication aspect. Praying and listening is the best form of advice anyone can give. I will praise you, O lord with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High. Psalm 9:1&2
