Alex has come so far and yet last week when we watched a friend's kids and took them all hiking, I saw how Alex at age 4 still couldn't even keep up with their 2.5-year-old. It made me sad ... but like you said, it's in God's hands, we do everything we can to help them develop and to provide extra support and therapy where needed and trust that God will use their extra challenges as He develops their character and their testimony. I've been so inspired by the professor whose class I'm taking right now; he had a major auditory processing disorder as a child that still affects him, and yet he's become a successful and respected child psychologist, professor and presenter and I really think his own struggles give him greater compassion and insight into the kids he works with. I don't minimize the pain and difficulty it can cause parents to see your child struggle with things that come so easily to other, even younger kids. It's hard. But I know God is going to do great things in Alicia's life and in Alex's life and it will be exciting to look back and see what role these challenges play in their story.2BlueMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09469812758621897039noreply@blogger.com
