Don't Quit (an encouraging poem)

Don't Quit
by: Edgar A. Guest

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

A bit of reflection...

Broken, abused, rejected, abandoned, disabled, ill, and alone...

When one looks at me and my life they may not see much worth looking at.  I know I was struggling to see anything good earlier.  It

Merry Christmas! :)

May the memory of His birth fill your heart with wonder, the memory of His life here fill your heart with love, and the memory of what He did for us on the cross fill your heart with humble praise.  But most of all, may the knowledge that He rose again and now lives in Heaven and in our hearts fill your entire being with HOPE :)

Merry Christmas everyone ((hugs)) :)

The True SPIRIT of Christmas

Update From Doctor

David has hope. :)  He has been stuck in the world of a 2 year old (in some areas even younger than that) even though he is now 4, but she believes she can help us get the help we need to make that reality change for him. :)  I needed to hear that.  Especially after how hard things have been lately with him starting to regress again.

A Day Of Blessings :)

I did it! Praise God for his gracious and timely blessings! :D I have passed my driving course and am one more ride away from my license! (The license bureau kind of frowns on someone driving themselves in to get their driver's license lol ;) )

I am SO excited! :)

Also, God has truly blessed me more than once today. :) After getting back

The star

Today we were supposed to be going to David’s final Autism evaluation where we would get more specifics and also answers and connections for getting some help with all this. I’m very tired today and both physically and emotionally worn out. Last night/evening was a hard one... One of the hardest I have had to face in the last few weeks, and definitely one of the hardest overall that deal with David and his struggles that Autism throws into his life. I already wrote about it in another post that I copied from a letter I wrote to a friend afterwards so I won’t repeat the story here.

Determined

I’ve seen a lot in my 29 years and not all of it good. I’ve seen hate at its fiercest, betrayal at it’s deepest, abuse at it’s cruelest, confusion at it’s foggiest, loneliness at it’s most solitude, and hearts at their coldest. But I have also seen love at it’s finest, faith at it’s purest, friendship at it’s best, loyalty at it’s truest, and hope at it’s highest. And through His grace I have been allowed to see that victims can become survivors. A survivor I will be.
