cliff's notes...I have 4 kids, 3 of which have severe medical issues-ranging from brain cysts, bleeding disorders, autism, vision impairment. Well, every time something else was diagnosed, I became more angry. Wish I could say I was just angry at the situation, but I was angry with God. But in time, He worked on the soil of my heart and as I ... Read Morestudied and prayed, He showed me that I was raising His little masterpieces. He has brought doctors and therapists in our lives that have made huge differences that are medically unexplained-"improbable" cures. God stuff. I have also become a part of many different special needs support communities filled with people that were never able to stop blaming God and being angry with Him. I feel like I'm in the right place to plant seeds and start preparing the soil of others' hearts. i can't say that I understand the plan for my life, or why God chose me to raise these special kids. I know that He's holding me up and I'm working for Him.

That is one time in my life that I had to completely give everything I had to Him and trust Him with my son. Gibson ended up being fine, but it was definitely the most difficult thing either of us has had to go through. I cannot imagine getting through that without Him.

doing anything with my 2 year old brings me closer to God... she is such a reminder of his miracle of life! Plus my love for my daughter has made God's love for us all that more real.
