Remembering Carefree Days...


Remember the carefree days of childhood?  Me too.  Sometimes I wish I was still a little girl and didn't have to make any big girl decisions.  Life was much less stressful when I was younger, even just a few short years ago when my boys were toddlers and I didn't know that one of them had a learning disability that would cause him to struggle all through his years of schooling and beyond.  All of us want the very best for our kids, and this isn't what I would have chosen, but God doesn't make any mistakes and He has a purpose and a plan for each one of us.  My son has been struggling lately.  It's difficult to understand, very hard to watch, and I feel just plain helpless.  It's a good thing we know Jesus because He knows and understands all things, and this makes us all the more dependent on Him.  I hope my boy is soon back to normal.  These days it seems like there is one tough decision after another, not just concerning him and his needs, but other things as well.

Nothing is simple anymore. I want to go camping with Dad.

Camping with Dad sounds real good!

Rach, I'll be remembering you and your boy in my prayers. Sorry that he is struggling. I'm sure that some of it is the life-change he is going through because he is no longer at school all day. He's entering the "real world" and that can be stressful for anyone.

Thanks Priscilla. He is in school until noon, and then drives home. I'm not sure what it is, seems like he's under attack by the devil. Somebody else suggested that it could be his age and hormones or just life changes. He's so close to finishing his class, but I'm getting nervous he won't have a very good finish because this is really affecting his concentration.
