A couple of weeks ago we particpated in the walk for Autism. As I was preparing t-shirts for the day I decided to listen to JJ's tape from his dedication. As I sat and listened to the words people had for him tears streamed down my face. No one knew when he was 10 weeks old that he would be who he is today but they nailed him head on. The words were loyalty and different. Loving and a lover of people. If you know my JJ at all you know that when he loves he loves so deeply it hurts, he is extremly loyal, and JJ sees the world through a different set of glasses.
Even at 10 weeks old God knew the plans he had for our boy. We as christians sometimes like to minimize the fact that God has plans for us, but throughout scripture God has had plans for everyone. Everyone had a purpose, a job to do, and God gives us the tools we need to complete the tasks set before us.
God has been faithful to complete a good work n JJ. He is doing awesome!!!!!! He was placed in an embedded preschool program that has been amazing for him. He was approved for wrap around services and has been particpating in activites I never thought he was going to be able to do. It is amazing to me to see the provision that is set before him. I can not wait to see who he becomes and how he learns to make a world that wasn't designed for him fit.
People are always looking at me and "piting"us for having a child with Autism. I am never really sure why people do that I would not change him for the world. He is one of my greatest treasures and I feel honored to have been given the task to raise him.
