i just have to share this.
over the past month or so i have had a scripture verse running through my head about all the work i'm putting into liam and getting him in the right place.
the stress level has been high about that because truly we NEED to get him as much help as possible while he is young enough to let is seep into his being. there really is a "window" there for autistic kids under the age of 6. i know this. i research my head off. i sacrifice sleep. i work weird hours. i tell myself that it will all be worth it in the end...and i really believe that, by the way! and yes, it DOES come naturally. anyone who has a kid knows what i'm talking about here. i'm not just some supermom...you would do it too. ;)
BUT! i have been reminded by God at least 20 times a day that "not by might not by power..." and i have relaxed for that moment, re-focused and plowed ahead. He does this for me because He knows me so well. i mean, He made me, right? of course He knows me.
well, i put this 'bible verse of the day' gadget on here so that each day i *at least* get a daily dose of God's word to help me along. i put it on here 2 nights ago.
what is the verse for today?
Zechariah 4:6
September 19, 2008
He said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty."
out of all the verses in the Bible...this verse pops up on my most stressful day lately? um, yeah.
God meets me. where i'm at. all the time.
i think that is more than "just pretty cool" don't you?

Yep...I love it when God gives us words like that and repeats them in different ways. It's never coincidence. I think about you all the time, by the way. You are an amazing mom and I do think you're special for everything that you sacrifice for your kids. Your children will arise and call you blessed!
I needed to hear that! Awesome!
Right on, sometimes I just smile or laugh at how obvious he puts himself into our lives. It is nice when you can really feel that he is with you! M
You are an amazing mom, and your kids are SO blessed to have you. God is so good!
