Mom, Don’t Be Too Confident In Yourself

by

Job 8:21

He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.

It’s the little things.

I got my biking outfit on and had to run a quick errand.  I told my son, Charlie I would be going out for a quick 15 minutes and be right back.  He said, “Mom are you going out in that?”  I said, “Well yes, why?”  He then told me, “Mom you need to not be too confident in yourself!”

With everything I had, I tried not to explode with laughter or feel bad about myself.  To tell you the truth I am very conservative and I felt my outfit was very appropriate.  Now this is from my boy who is 15, who has autism and is getting more aware each day about his environment I will just say.  I stepped out and did my errand.  The whole time though I was so concerned that my outfit wasn’t ok and giggling really the whole time about his comment.laugh-1391101_1280

You see I was giggling and laughing so much because my son noticed me and actually made a comment on his own about what I was wearing.  This is HUGE progress if you know what I mean.  He wasn’t absorbed in his own world or his technology.  He actually was concerned about his own mom’s clothing choices and cared about it.  I was so excited!

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.
