Thank you for the kind reminder that it's ok to not be ok with the very hard things that happen in our lives. As a mom of a severely disabled child,I find this statement more hopeful than the constant trying to fix a situation so that I could get back to"normal" mindset. It feels more present and grace filled. Thank you.

Thank you, Nirma. I wish it hadn’t taken me so long to have this little breakthrough but I’m glad it has arrived. It’s easy to see for others but not for my own circumstances. Now it’s a matter of practicing it…just giving it to God. Thank you for sharing with me a glimpse into your hard things. So many of us are walking with these hard things and I am grateful when others share what they are learning and helping them. I always hope my sharing will do the same. Thank you for your kind words. They mean so much. Praying for you, Nirma ❤️

Just listened to your voice as if you were in my home. I could visualize all of this. My best friend of 22 years has been living in this trauma with 3 kids and still is as one (adult now) was never able to handle what the oldest did through the years, bringing out unbelievable ocd in him. I am grateful you have Jesus to walk with. And you do not have to be okay with it. This is a good breakthrough. I am sorry for the pain Naomi is in and so sorry for the pain you all receive from it. Praying extra prayers of protection for all of you as her time comes to an end. Praying she made a miraculous tiny breakthrough and your boys can be prepared and strong and not go backwards. Praying God's grace over your family Kelly. Wish I could hug you. ox
