Im a special needs parent, as well. Our son was born with no heartbeat and no oxygen, for 11 minutes, which caused severe brain damage, cerebral palsy, and can't walk or talk among a number of other disabilities. With that, I completely understand your struggle, and I appreciate this video. It allows me to feel like my wife and I aren't the only family that's dealing with this issue. Much Love, be blessed!!!
So nice to meet you and thank you for sharing. There are so many of us going through tough times but feel like we need to hide and portray to be strong...but we are human. I will keep your family in my prayers. Xo
👋🏽 so I can relate! I have been trying to find ways to fill up my own cup too. As far as faith, I’ve written a couple of lists in the notes on my phone. I wrote a list of what is bothering me and then whatever scriptures that came to mind to combat that stuff and switch my perspective. I also wrote a list of all the storms and struggles in life that God has brought me through and read them out loud to help build my faith. Anyways, if you find the time maybe the lists can help you too. Thank you for sharing your truth and I pray you give yourself grace and love🙏🏽❤️
Ahhhh, thanks mama. It gets so tiring hiding and pretending. I recently got some tools to help me be more Intentional about strengthening my faith and drawing nearer to Christ. I have no doubt that He got us.
Hi there, I’m a fellow special needs mom of a 5yr old boy on the spectrum. I commend you for your honesty and vulnerability. I can relate to your feelings as I try to navigate daily. Some days I feel on top of the world like “Yes God I was chosen for this!” other days I’m so physically and emotionally exhausted up all night trying to research something…anything…and if I’m not doing that I feel guilty. There have been many times my faith has taken a hit where I’m just so frustrated and sad and then I’m upset at myself for even being sad..so yeah it gets real lol I am also a Christian with not so much support as I would like from friends/family but I understand it’s hard for them to understand our journey. It’s myself and husband and I can only pray for more grace to get us through each day while asking God to give us the strength to trust him more and his plan instead of beating myself up on things I can’t change during this season. I think you and Shayla are so beautiful, glad I found your channel. Shayla is perfectly and wonderfully made! Love & Blessings from NYC
So nice to meet you and your family. Thank you for sharing your journey and your kind words. I k ow that with God, we can certainly do this for He has a plan for us and its one that is good. As long as we continue to commit our everything to Him, He will direct us. Our faith will take hits- that's the devil trying to throw us off...But God! Xo
I can totally relate with the struggle is real. My faith, I’m a Christian as well I only put my trust in God. I would say “don’t ever give up on God, keep trusting him. Good thing you got going you have trusted friends I don’t have any. My hubby is with me, that’s about it besides God. Thank you so much for your vulnerability it has helped me already. 😊 by the way, you look fine without makeup.
