Thank you for sharing these verses, John. Thank you also for your honesty. It is helpful to know my husband and I are not alone in feeling inadequate and broken at times. I commented on one of your YouTube videos and failed to respond to your reply, but I hope your family had a good summer. I want you to know that what you are doing here is making a difference. Thank you!

In reply to Carrie Hanson.

Hi Carrie,

Thank you for being open about the difficulties you’ve faced during you and your son’s journey. As someone who has worked in the school and participated in many IEP meetings, I know how frustrating it can be for parents who pour their heart and soul into ensuring their kids receive the support they need only to continue meeting frustration. However, I believe those trials you faced were not in vain. God had a plan and purpose during those years. You never know whose lives you or your son impacted for the glory of God. I believe most of God’s plans and purposes are a veiled mystery. I’ve learned that I cannot rest in my own understanding of life’s circumstances, but in His promises to work it out for our ultimate good and for his glory. One day, the whys will all be answered and we will stand in awe. That truly can bring hope to our lives. Yet I admit, it can still be a daily struggle to rest in this fact.

Thank you again for sharing. I’m grateful that the Lord led you to this post!

John

Your words before Romans 8:28 really touched my heart. I’m struggling still to accept my 21 year old son’s recently diagnosed autism. He struggled with Tourettes, severe OCD, anxiety and depression all of his life. I’ve always expected God to swoop right in and show him and us his purpose in this.
I worked liked crazy with the teachers and the school to find accommodations that would help him learn. From kindergarten to 10th grade, never realizing he also had autism. The school and private counselors missed it. He finally quit in 10th grade as he wasn’t functioning in a way he could learn.
Thank you for your words. I have a new realization that this is God’s plan and for his glory. I can’t control how He uses my son’s autism in His plans. What I do counts for the glory of God.
