Emotional mastery is the key to living a life that you direct. The capacity to have absolute direct power over what you feel in every single moment—no matter what happens around you—is one of the most important skill sets you can have. ~ Tony Robbins
That is a good trait to have when you are a parent of a special needs child. There are times when you are cheering for simple accomplishments. There are times when you are secretly crying to yourself, as you watch a neighborhood child, who is the same age as yours….doing things you imagined the both of them doing together. There are times when you have to hold your head high & ignore the stares from children or even adults that don’t understand why Emily is making certain noises.
And although Em is non-verbal and cannot do a lot of things children her age can….we love watching her grow and learn at her own pace. Kind of like a sweet little turtle.
Lily is such an inspiration to her big sister. I think Emily watches her and thinks to herself….HEY, I think I need to try that.
One thing is for certain…… this girl is SNOW HAPPY!
I AM ABLE to do far beyond all that you ask or imagine. Come to Me with positive expectations, knowing that there is no limit to what I can accomplish. Do not be discouraged by the fact that many of your prayers are yet unanswered. Time is a trainer, teaching you to wait upon Me, to trust Me in the dark. The more extreme your circumstances, the more likely you are to see My Power and Glory at work in the situation. Instead of letting difficulties draw you into worrying, try to view them as setting the scene for My glorious intervention. Keep your eyes and your mind open to all that I am doing in your life.
