Finding Faith And Friendship On The Special Needs Journey

In Whom Do I Trust?

by

Proverbs 3:5,6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.

The school I work at chose this year’s theme to be “In God We Trust.”  I was glad to see that since this is where God is speaking to me the most over these last few years.

Many people look to others or things on this earth to put their full trust in.  The problem with this is, those things will always let you down.

They are temporary.

 They are fake at times.

 They can be lies.  

They are not planted firmly.  

They try.  

They make mistakes.

The only true thing we can count on to trust is our Lord.  He will never leave us or forsake us.  But you may say, “Why did he allow that to happen?”  Sometimes he allows things to happen and not intervene for His perfect plan, not our perfect plan.  And sometimes they are uncomfortable, they are hard, and they may be tough to endure.  I actually, as I get older, see how God works so fully in my life through the really tough junk.  He doesn’t work as mightily when everything is just going “normal”.  He grows me through the mud, the guts, the weakness.  He makes me stronger when I am clinging to Him in those really hard times.

Principal at The First Hope of The First Academy
I am a wife and mother, but more importantly a child of God who is loved and blessed. As the Principal of a private Christian Special Needs School, it is humbling to be working with these students and I am blessed to see how God is working in their lives and in their families. My first book Autism Is A Blessing has been shared with many families to encourage them and look at autism in a positive light and how God can use our struggles and use them for His glory and honor.
