Ever since I knew something was going on with Landon....wait a minute, ever since I admitted to myself that something was going on with Landon, I have struggled with "Why me, God?"
Now, if I wanted to I could trick myself into believing that I am somehow special in His eyes and therefore I was the only mom on the planet that could be his mom, but if you know what I know of God then you would know that is simply not true. Plus, I think that if were to walk around thinking that I could be the only possible mom on the planet who could mother a child with autism that would be pretty arrogant and prideful. I have met many, wonderful moms of children with autism and they all do it differently. I admire all of them for different reasons.
First, we are ALL special to God. He is no respecter of persons, meaning He treats us all the same, He doesn't play favorites.
Second, God LOVES me! So, why would a God who loves me choose me to have such a hard struggle in life? It makes no sense to me. God does not punish us, we punish ourselves by not believing His word and having faith in what He says. We all have our own will and God cannot change that, we have to want to change. He will help us, He will guide us, He will direct our paths.....but here is the clencher folks........WE HAVE TO BE WILLING AND OBEDIENT AND LISTENING TO HEAR HIS VOICE.
The devil is the one who puts the weight of the world on our shoulders, God wants to lift that burden. God says His burden is light and His yoke is easy. The devil is the one who tricks us with lies and empty promises, God's word is true and His promises are everlasting. God does not break His word. The devil wants to weigh us down, God wants to lift us up!!!
However, I do believe that when the devil comes along and gives us a problem, or we do something to allow a problem into our lives, God is there to help, all we have to do is ask.....He will, "turn the lemons into lemonade"
God can take what was meant for evil and make it be for His glory!
The devil meant for the diagnosis of autism in this family to discourage, depress, and destroy it....God says "NO".....I say "NO"...with His help, this challenge will be for the Glory of God. Landon will be healed, and it will be a victorious day when that happens, and when it does that will be the day that what the devil meant for evil, God turned into something good, wonderful, miraculous and beautiful.
It is unfair that any of our children have to suffer from any disease, disability, or premature death. God did not put that on our children. He sent His ONLY son, who died for our sins, took on our diseases and infirmities, disabilities, etc....so we didn't have to. All we have to do is believe that health and healing is ours.
It is also unfair that any child not get to have a "perfect" childhood, but to some extent we are all responsible for that. America has become a place of pollution, corruption and greed. This is what is killing, disabling and making our children ill, NOT God. These are the works of satan and man, without the guidance of God.
America needs to turn back to God. He has not forsaken us, we should not forsake HIM.
I know it seems I have probably got on my "religious soapbox", but it is not about religion, it is about faith, and the belief that God loves us and wants the best for us. As humans, we are the ones who mess things up for ourselves, we think "I can do it on my own", but everyone needs help, usually more often than we are willing to admit, more than our pride will let us admit. It is ok to not know all the answers. God knows all the answers. We just have to ask, and be patient to wait for the answer. God has PERFECT timing, it all comes about when it is supposed to.
My final word, on this subject, is this:
GOD LOVES YOU, AND YOU, AND YOU AND YOU and you..........
HE WANTS YOU TO HAVE A HAPPY, FULL, PROSPEROUS LIFE.
It really is that simple.
