I wrote this...That's a really good point, Tess. I wrote this late at night (when I shouldn't ever write) and then I regretted it. However, I try not to delete things because I want it to be real. Actually, I was reflecting today that God has absolutely used my son to conform me to His image in every way. I know that's true, but I just resist it so very hard! I am still in the denial stage. I grew up with a brother just like my son, and I prayed so hard not to have a child like my brother - I told God I wouldn't be able to handle it. Well...turns out I was wrong. Kind of. Define handle. ;-)<br />I love the Kierkegaard reference and, yes, thanks be to God for the sacrament of Confession! Thanks so much for reading and for offering me some much needed perspective.Laura Delgadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12612816137991723265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-65270832268757357.post-83162684733400066942014-07-08T22:52:37.720-05:002014-07-08T22:52:37.720-05:00I'm one of those moms with a major alphabet so...I'm one of those moms with a major alphabet souper. It sucks. It's a struggle. It's a struggle every.single.day. But I'm one of those moms who came across the idea that God is *using* my daughter and those struggles to conform me to His image. In parenting her I am working out my salvation with fear and trembling and then going to confession because I'm human and it sucks to parent a special needs child even if it does have eternal rewards.Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15856303634596871341noreply@blogger.com
