I wrote another entry a month ago and haven't gotten around to putting it up before now. 

The first week in July, was a stretching week for me. Adrian turned 3 and so that meant he was too old for the First Steps therapy program. His last sessions were July 2 with the occupational therapist & July 3 with the physical therapist. 

That whole week, I tried to keep my head up and my emotions down. 

The therapists were so much more than just therapists...they were my friends that I (and our family) grew quite fond of and they were also a great support group. 


Through this whole experience, God has been teaching me so much. 

I know that everyone has their own battle to face. None of really get to choose which one we are given. I see I need to be a little kinder, more understanding, and to affirm my friends more. 

Especially those who are Moms....
because it doesn't matter how many children you have, you need encouragement! Being a Mom brings out a whole new vulnerability in a person. You feel your own weaknesses more keenly and see more deeply your need of God and His Grace.

If you thought you were a steady, consistant person, have a child...or two....they show just how steady and consistant you really are. It's really a good thing, because it stretches you to a new level in Christ! God gave me 2 boys that are teaching me more than I've taught them. To be as a little child in the Kingdom of Heaven has taken on a whole new meaning. When I see their innocence and trust, I see exactly how God wants me to trust Him.

I love the beauty of the journey and how God is using each thing to teach me something! 

God has called each of us to a specific thing in life. Not only does he have the purpose (or reason), He also has all the Grace you'll ever need.

Rejoice in the calling God has blessed you with! 

Have a blessed week! ~Carolyn
