I now placed her back in bed for the 10th or so time, a familiar scene here. We don't know why she is having this tantrum or any of the many others because she is non-verbal. It's a usual routine especially at night. We don't remember the last time we had a good, uninterrupted night sleep. I could go on and on, but just as I felt like banging my head against the wall, God reminded me in a thought that you told me last Sunday to go to iamviable.com. THANKS Kathy! I know God gave me my daughter because He knew I was the best dad to take care of her. I never once asked God why or was angry about her autism. I just needed a reminder of how blessed we are that she can do some of the things she can. (Like cry and run around the house even if it in the middle of the night :) God knows my only fear has been about her future, when we are no longer able to, or are here on this earth to take care of her. Seeing Joey smiling at his home and knowing there are wondreful places like his out there really helped me. Thank you for also reminding me that this is all temporary and that God is in control. I now also am looking forward to having that conversation with my daughter that we never had, in heaven. Thanks for sharing Kathy! God Bless you and your family always!

We are each so limited in different ways - but our God is not! He is awesome and He reveals himself sometimes in the most unexpected ways! If we look we will see Him! Thanks for sharing Kathy!
