My journey is not so different than anyone else. I'm a proud mother of two marvelous children who are also autistic. Sometimes, life can become very difficult and over time has caused me to gradually lose faith.
A few month ago, I burned out and stopped working. During that time, I discovered Signed, Sealed, Delivered. It's the best choice i never made because I found faith again.
For Christmas reminded me there is always hope, and that even as my faith dwindled, God never had---and never would---let go of me. I understood that God had a path for me and I just needed to believe.
Then, in Lost Without You, I was very surprised that I never thought we had to pray to become better people in our lives, or that praying could be connected to a better life and not for having a better life. Because we make choices in life, and better people make better choices. I started praying again and found serenity, better health and bravery to face my children's problems one by one with trust. I also began to understand the power of forgiveness, towards both myself and others. And it has truly brought me freedom and lightened my burden. I have begun to feel so good and so much more free. It's a wonderful new life opened to my family and me. |
