New Day!

Tomorrow will be Kasi's first day back to school, full time with normal classes.  It is very exciting for all of us, believe me!!  Not only does she need this, but all of us need her to go back too.  We all love her dearly, but she is all of 14, and I know most of you can understand that.  Plus, Kasi and I are so much alike that we might fight a little.  We maintain a GREAT relationship, unlike a lot of teenagers and parents, which makes the bickering even harder.  Her overall health is great too.  We are amazed at the progress she has made and at the same time, we are not surprised because that is just what God does for her. 
We are also starting to process everything that has happened over the last couple of months.  It is crazy, but truly it seems to be a blur at times.  Emotionally I don't think I really processed a lot of it, that is until last night. 
We watched a movie called, "Letters to God" and I am sure a lot of you have seen this movie.  I must say, that thoughts and feelings in that movie were overly real.  Kasi our strong one who never cries in movies, was weeping and I was too.  She felt all of the things that the actor was writing about in his letters and although he dies, Kasi is still with us.  We are so blessed to be able to share more years with her and I celebrate that everyday.  Not just with her but all of the kids God has in trusted to me. 
My heart began a "remembering" time last night, which I think is good, of remembering and feeling all of the "stuff" of being up at U of M for that many days.  It is more than just a thought process it is a cleansing for me.  Kasi too felt a little overwhelmed with emotion, but feeling everything she faced too was a great thing for us.  We now look to the future of God incredible story that is to be told through us.  It is humbling to know God is choosing me/us in this way.  We will be obedient in all we do and our road and story doesn't begin or end with Kasi.  It keeps going and going with each new day. 
We currently are facing testing for both boys for autism or even ways to better help them grow and learn.  They will both be seeing an eye specialist on Tuesday for a most-likely genetic eye condition.  Plus, they will be able to tell us if there is some neurological going on for further help.  Nathan has started school at Ottawa Area Center in their infant program and he is doing awesome with that.  Ben, is learning really well at school and his teacher is such a blessing!!  I am not sure what the road is that we will be going on with these boys, but we know that God is with us all along the way.  Our story, really God's story through us will continue.  I will keep sharing because I feel like these posts, well they are our letter's to God.
All of your prayers for our family are felt and appreciated.  God is doing amazing things in our lives, each one of us and that is a blessing.  Hearing Ben pray brings me to tears.  His heart and compassion for others is overwhelming too.  God is doing great things in his heart and that is something I continue to pray for. 
God is sooo faithful, good, and incredible!  May His name be praised today and always! 
Now, for me.....on to speaking.  Seriously???
