All to often I think I forget to be thankful, I forget to be thankful for all that God has given me - to start He has given me an amazing husband, I do not use the word amazing lightly... He truly is amazing, supportive and even more just as grateful as I am. He has also given me our two beautiful daughters... Despite the struggles we have with Taylor she is a blessing, for taylor alone has taught me true happiness. Addyson has taught me patience. He has also blessed me with some amazing friends, who have stuck with me through thick and thin. I could list them, but I will not - due to forgetting someone.
Anyhow I am also thankful for special needs ministry... You see when I went to college in Tucson - I attended a church that was solely established for special needs kids and adults and their families... I thought this was a great idea and got involved in the ministry - not knowing at the time that God would bless me with a special needs child - NOW you are probably all saying HUH? he has blessed you? Yes, he has because without him giving me taylor - I would have kept living life in fast forward and never truly would have slowed down. Anyhow one of the men that really mentored me through my freshman year of college, contacted me today - after we have been communicating back and forth via email. Through tears and laughter I realized that even though I may never understand WHY, I know that I have the strength and support to get through the battles with Taylor. Good news is he was able to give me a list of 4 churches that have special needs ministry here in florida :) Guess its time to start looking and settling... Im tired of going though the motions of everyday life... I need and want something more!
Here is to hoping and praying that we can fit in somewhere here in the sunny state of Florida!!
