Today has been a day! I have found over and over again that God has so many plans for each of us that our little minds can never grasp it.
Today has been a day of so many different emotions. Happiness, saddness, angry, etc. I am happy to say that the end of the day has been in happiness and open-heartedness with my husband in our Lord. I needed that time with each of them after a long and tiring day!
Today I found out that my second born, amazingly sweet and caring, little boy has ADHD! When my doctor showed me the graphs going up and down so visciously, I became a little shocked.
"How could this be?! Not my baby boy!!" You see we have expected it for a few years, but seeing it on paper and seeing the graph go up as far as it could took the feeling to a whole new level. It suddendly sunk in all at that moment...that felt forever.
Afterwards, I had to talk to someone about it. As I talked to my friend, I became a little eased. Then I talked to my husband and felt even better. I soo realized that my son does have an "inbalance" and I am SO VERY THANKFUL that that's all it is.
I was reminded of that when I seen a friend's status, which led to me asking about her son (who has autism). She went on to talking about all his problems he's facing and as I felt awful for her and thinking how strong of a momma she is, I was reminded that even though that illness of her son's may seem so big to so many, it's a blessing as well. A blessing that we are still able to enjoy this life with them that God has granted us.
Our children aren't "ours", they're His!! We are "borrowing" our children from the Creator Himself. He has trusted us to care for them and to love them and teach them. So, as I went about my day I realized that I'm happy...happy to have a child with ADHD. I'm blessed that God has trusted me to care for Him in the way that He intended.
Thank you, God, for giving me the children that You know I needed! You do know best! I hope everyone reading this will look at your children tonight and see that God has handpicked YOU to be their parent. Regardless of temperment, potty training struggles, bedtime issues, sibling rivalry, terrible two's that last three years, or the child that is an easy dream. God knew that You are the Perfect parent for your child. They may not be perfect in earthly terms, but they are perfect for you and for God!! Enjoy your children and the blessings that God gives us, even when it doesn't feel like one at every moment in the day.
