5 Ways to Get It All Done

May 14, 2018 by autismblessings

Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him,     for God is our refuge. Psalm 62:8 I wake up every Monday morning a little anxious. Ok if we are being real here, I wake up Monday mornings more than a little anxious.  Mondays for me can feel a little overwhelming with reviewing all I have to get done for the week. It starts really on Sunday evenings. Do you ever feel that … [Read more...]

When I Mistook a Doctor’s Word as Gospel

March 28, 2018 by Evana

Things were simple the day my daughter was born, at least at first. As soon as she entered the world, I did my own assessment of her: ten fingers, ten toes, two eyes, a nose, and a weak cry. Everything seemed fine. My husband and I were thrilled to be first time parents. We remarked on how “beautiful” and “perfect” she was. We joyfully called people to announce her arrival. We smiled in … [Read more...]

What I Learned Through the Deep, Hard Struggles

January 8, 2018 by autismblessings

Lamentations 3:21-23 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.   I love to start things. I love the challenge. I love to look at things when they are fresh and new and I also like to create things out of nothing. How about … [Read more...]

My Child Is a Person, Not Just An Inspiration

October 4, 2017 by Ellen Stumbo

I will be the first one to tell you that my children with disabilities have inspired me. My youngest daughter with Down syndrome has been my teacher of life in many ways. Every time my daughter with cerebral palsy falls down and gets back up it makes me think about the times I give up so easily in life. But my typical daughter has done that for me too, she has inspired me, she has pushed me to be … [Read more...]

Hope After High School

November 7, 2016 by autismblessings

Psalm 17:6 I call on you, my God, for you will answer me; turn your ear to me and hear my prayer. I remember years ago when my son Charlie was just under 2, before his autism diagnosis, we had started a 529 Savings Plan for both of my children to help save towards college.  I was excited that we were starting early and hopeful by doing this we would be able to pay for their college years later … [Read more...]
