My family has been in the middle of a storm for the past few months. I’ve written posts here and there eluding to the storm but in the interest of privacy, the details are kept quiet. I’m usually pretty transparent with my life, I don’t believe in a public persona of a perfect life. Ive unfriended people on social media for such expression. Seriously. Then I wonder who are they trying to convince? People who follow them or themselves?
Tommy and I have been fortunate that when a storm rolls in we hope our previour supporters. Raising Thomas and having him hospitalized and then in residential schools taught us that not everyone will understand your choices but true friends and family will support your choices and in turn support you. Even when they don’t agree with the direction you’re taking.
Tommy and I recently thought we saw the beginning of the end of this current storm. Not so. I’ve prayed and I will continue to pray. God finds a way when there is no way. Outcomes and next steps we were hoping for are not in His plan. So we continue to have faith and believe that God’s plan is better than our plan. Part of having faith is being patient in the waiting. Hurry up and wait.
