This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed. (Habakkuk 2:3 NLT) This verse refers to the end times, but it spoke so deeply to me during the days we were waiting for Jackson to speak. I remember these words coming to mind as I watched my toddler struggle to utter a single sound during a speech therapy session. These words brought me Continue Reading
October Writing Challenge #4 – Comfort
Homeschooling a child with unique learning needs has pushed me out of my comfort zone more than anything I've ever done.
