In my last post, I wrote about how fear can invade the thought lives of parents of children who have social, emotional or behavioral challenges. In our thoughts, few things seem to be as crippling as fear. In my last post, I noted some of the fears we may face as parents of special-needs kids–they can be significant and real. So how do we overcome these fears? While we might consider each fear a separate and considerable threat, is there a way to overcome our tendency to fear in general?

When “Scary” Invades Your Home

Stores have put the jack-o-lanterns, skeletons and ghoulish attire on clearance shelves in hopes of hastening their way out of the stores.

Living with a Land Shark- The Hurtful Child
Hello again! As I mentioned in my first post– our family has a new puppy. Her name is Grace. A friend of mine met her and suggested we name her Bullet instead. You can get the visual on that.

Winning the Race by Stepping Off the Treadmill
Hello! I am so thrilled to be communicating to you for the first time through this blog post. I know your life is so busy, as is mine, and I am honored that you chose to spend a moment here. Although I claim no special knowledge that is overwhelmingly smart or worthwhile, I am continually praying that God will reveal himself to you during my blog posts. He is SO BEYOND SMART and WORTHWHILE and I hope that you are able to benefit from His words (even through this tired vessel of an ordinary mom).
