Well there have been a ton of times I wonder why God allows us to go through things. I am sure once or twice you've asked "why". I mean I ask, why my son is autistic, why my papa had a stroke, why Rickey has to be bi-polar. Even why my pre-teen daughter is so stinkin moody!
Well sadly sometimes others have to go through situations like the ones you've gone through. With AJ we've seen time and time again others with autism some worse some better, we are thankful for just where AJ is, and know God has allowed it for our good.
Sometimes our roughest times in life, help others know there is a light at the end of a very dark tunnel. I know we have a long row to hoe, but I can look back now and breath easier . I have had friends, like Mr B, who have come from that dark place and has offered love, understanding and a listening ear. He has also used his life experiance to minister to me and R.
Today, with a heavy heart, I was in a "mr b" role. Our dear friends are in a spot like we were in last year. He is seeking help, and she is scared and worried. I was able to sit with her today, to tell her some of the things she can expect, and to let her know, it will be ok.
I never would wish any of this on my worst enemy, let alone a friend. But as we talked it took me back to where we kind of started , and I was able to reflect on just how good God has been to us. To faithfully walk beside us, to bring us from darkness to light. So as we walk beside our friends, I pray we can encourage them to keep pressing on. So we are circling now in a way, to share with others, there is hope. My Jesus says so!
So please don't hide your own hurts, if the Lord has brought you through, be ready to share! It's what Christ has called us to do, share salvation and a promise that He is with us!
