Angelman Syndrome, AAC and everything in between
From the blog Two Sparrows and a Crown;
Dear Lord,
Please fill this house with Love and Light,
Protect us as we sleep at night,
By morning be our Will and Might,
Unite us all by Faith in Christ.
Amen.
Another answered prayer was to find a friend in faith.
I’m anxiously awaiting to read what Shorty will write next! No pressure!
This is exactly how one has to persevere when they have a learning disability! You may not see the results now, you may have to wait years to see how it all comes together.

Prayer is just amazing. I love when I witness God’s hand in answered prayer.
Last night I was feeling discouraged. Over a period of time, when I shared an opinion that had been shaped by experience, another parent would say “that is not so”. I’m not going to argue with someone that doesn’t know me and I’m certainly not going to argue with someone who has not experienced what I have.

You’d think this is a stage that you could outgrow. Some people do, but this wasn’t the case for me. I was fortunate to begin riding when I was 12, owned my first horse at 14 and by 15, I was pretty serious. Without telling anyone, I arranged to take lessons at Hunterdon with George Morris. I was the only ‘backyard” kid in our lessons. The rest were showing at the Big “A” shows in their custom boots, riding their fancy horses. I wasn’t envious. He was very supportive and never made me feel like I didn’t belong. After my first lesson, I rode in a small but competitive local horse show and won champion in the Equitation division. I’ll never forget, after jumping a perfect round (I know it was good because it was the first time I heard applause), the girl that came in second (she had just qualified for Medal/McClay) yelled, “who is number 113?”. She was shocked to see it was me. As for Hunterdon, I lessoned every other week. It took me two-weeks of odd jobs to earn enough to pay for the lesson and shipping. It was a summer I will always remember fondly. [Read more…] about All about a horse
My belief is that every cloud has a silver lining. The darker the cloud, the more spectacular the light can be. The rays of light are our sign that we indeed will get through the challenges that have been placed before us.
