Homeschooling, Special Needs, and a diagnosis

     The last couple of days I have thought alot about my faith and being a mom who has a special needs child.  God always seems to shine on the truth in the open. I am not  embarrassed about my life.  I am very grateful for it.  God has allowed me to become a special mom to a special child.  Yesterday I was humbled by the evaluator of a test I took him too.  She told me that I have done so much for him, though he has a journey still to climb, he has gone beyond what others have expected.  For the first time in 6 years, I heard someone tell me homeschooling was the best thing I could have done for him. She even told me I should become an advocate for special needs kids who are homeschooling.  She was very impressed with me. I was so humbled and almost on the verge of crying. He finally got his diagnosis of Autism.  He is high functioning on the spectrum.  Anyone who has met him would know that.  She told me he is very bright.  It is not just me being his mom. What a journey it has been! I feel blessed by Autism, because it has allowed me to see the world in a different light, the way God intended for our family.  My close support system you all know what we have been through thank you being there.
      I am proud of him and my daughter.  They are my greatest accomplishment in this world.  Homeschooling has just enhanced that.  There is only person I have to answer to and that is my Lord and Savior.  I am doing the work He wants me to do.  I feel so Blessed he asked me to do it. He has given me so much Grace through it. Thank you Lord,  for the small miracles this week and there were many.

Governor and Voting

I rarely put up political posts but today I will.  Today my son voted for the first time in our NJ primary for governor.  It has saddened me...
