This morning was a very unusual one.. Not bad just all re-arranged! So we put the 3 older kids on the bus at 7:45 . Hubby was putting the last car seat in the car (he took all the car seats out to find a leak on the drivers side. ). He put the key in the ignition at 8 am …and the thing would not start! The thing is, it had worked just an hour or so prior to all of this. Now what? We couldn’t take the Excursion it was promised to a family in our church. They were going to borrow it for the weekend and we had to drop off our youngest son at a sitter and run to school for a meeting about our five year old autistic son. So we un -borrowed a truck for an hour, dropped off the Bean and headed to school….we were 15 minutes late for the meeting (we called ahead) we went into the meeting all eyes on us (i hate that!) i took a deep breath and the Special Ed chairperson took over.
It was a pretty good meeting, nothing that was said was a surprise all all. We went over all the findings of his speech, physical and occupational therapy evaluations……big shocker he is below where he should be! All the while we are in this meeting never once does anyone make us feel bad that we are bad parents….everyone jst loves weasel! All positives, out side of being delayed.
The meeting went longer than expected (of course!) but we talked with a few people from the meeting and when all of them cleared my husband was talking to one of our friends from Bible College who is the youth Pastor and teacher at the Christian school where our kids now attend. He was sharing about how Weasel was impacting the school. This is the first time this school is dealing with a kid like Weasel so they are being stretched and our friend said it was very good for the school, but outside of that, two larger things have happened.
1. Weasel’s sub aide has reconnected with the school (her older two children attended there) and so now they will be sending their fifth grader! She loves working with weasel and they have bonded well!
2. Weasels full time sub who is just waiting for her background check to come through, is friends with two families from that church. Those two families have been encouraging the aide and her family to come to church there for sometime now. Through weasel, she is becoming more involved with the church and hopefully this will open doors to her husband hearing the gospel.
Our friend was a huge encouragement to us, as sometimes you hear all the “bad” things. It was so neat to hear this kind of of stories. Our friend so so excited to tell us of Weasel’s impact! We needed to hear that!
It just goes to show us that God has a reason for everything. It might not be how we intended life to go BUT if you watch and pray AMAZING things WILL happen!
