Got Balance?

September 9, 2013 by autismblessings 3 Comments

Balance in life is difficult for me. I have struggled with this most of my life. I am a helper. I am a peacemaker. I put others before my own needs at times. When I do something I give it my all, almost too much. I am passionate. I have a narrow focus on that work, missing other things around me. Some of the things I struggle and have struggled with in balancing different things: Doing … [Read more...]

Snooze Buttons, Train Wrecks and Finding Joy

July 22, 2013 by Kelli Ra Anderson Leave a Comment

It was pretty clear by the time I hit the snooze button for the fifth time. I didn’t want to get out of bed. Then words from Hebrews 12:2 I had read the day before came to mind: “For the joy set before him, he endured the cross.” I lay there, wondering, what is the joy set before me? What can give me such hope that I can endure mornings when I just don’t want to face another teen intervention, … [Read more...]

Ties That Bind

June 10, 2013 by autismblessings 2 Comments

Yesterday I celebrated my 23rd wedding anniversary with my husband Tony. It also was the 20th anniversary of when my father passed away. It was a bitter sweet day. As I looked through old pictures to reminisce a flood of memories came through. We all are on a journey. We all have struggles as well as highlights in our journey. Sometimes I refer to our marriage BA or AA – Before Autism or After … [Read more...]

Letting Go

March 11, 2013 by autismblessings 6 Comments

Chelsea and Charlie in 2005 Philipians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Chelsea came in the room, “Mom look I got another college theatre scholarship!” I was so excited for her and very proud. She is 6 years older than her brother Charlie who has autism. She was about 9 when we got the diagnosis. She didn’t really understand at the time. Even when he wasn’t talking and … [Read more...]

One Day at a Time

February 11, 2013 by autismblessings 12 Comments

2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. One Day at a Time. Say it again. One Day at a Time. Say it slower. One- Day- at- a -Time. I think we all need to be reminded of this. As parents of children with unique needs our lives are filled with so … [Read more...]

Gratefulness Is Refreshing

January 14, 2013 by autismblessings 8 Comments

Psalm 28:7 ESV The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him. As the year was coming to an end for yet another time, I reflected on the things that brought me joy; those things that I am grateful for.  For some people it is just a list, but for me it is an accomplishment and reminder of God carrying me … [Read more...]
