It must be so hard as his mom to wonder about his future or about how hard things might be along the road for him... <BR/><BR/>But as you have reminded me so often in my path with Finny in particular, God knows exactly what this little guy is going to grow up and do. And though it's hard as the mom to watch them suffer or struggle, only He knows what lies ahead down the road, and He knows that everything that Oliver will go through now is preparing him for what is to come. <BR/><BR/>It's so encouraging to see such hope and faith in you guys. Isn't it so good to feel safe, protected and cared for by God when you are facing questions like these? <BR/><BR/>BennyBennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08316800806584036420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163008944016056003.post-17242640476959537282008-12-23T08:56:00.000-08:002008-12-23T08:56:00.000-08:00We've been down the same road, with our son!

I am also glad that God does not always heal. Our now 20 year old son with severe mental retardation is a huge blessing to us. When i was a brand new Christian and he was 6 years old, I fervently prayed for his healing and then went to bed. I lay awake with eyes wide open for awhile before I ran back to his bedside to ask that God leave him exactly as he was, my son and exactly the way I loved him. <BR/>I will pray for Oliver and your family as you enter this new area of learning.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235939216821161310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163008944016056003.post-36063514363910419542008-12-19T15:36:00.000-08:002008-12-19T15:36:00.000-08:00I am praying for Oliver right now.

I'm still technically blind in my left eye but it has improved. In fact the longer I've gone without correcting it, the better it has gotten. It's amazing.<BR/><BR/>Jacob's favorite teacher is deaf, has a CI and speaks and teaches ASL and is just a cool guy.

It's so inadequate. And overused. And yet conveys what I felt the entire length of your post. From one end of the "wow" spectrum to the other.<BR/><BR/>I suppose it's better than all the other trite things that come to mind to say. I think I'll leave it at "wow." And prayers. Which is probably where it should have started, anyway.mideastmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335327337610562765noreply@blogger.com
