I know that the Lord's timing is everything, so yes we can communicate any way you prefer - friend me on Facebook, and message me, or send me an email at michellelingle@verizon.net!

We have some mutual friends in PA who told me about your site b/c my family and I are dealing with some very similar issues. I can't thank you enough for your transparency. You have hit the nail on the head with so many of the deep issues that come with parenting a special-needs child. I was actually moved to tears. We have felt like we're alone in the world as this is such a unique situation. I've been desperately searching for other Christian parents who are also "in the trenches" in this way. Is there any way to communicate with you in a more confidential manner? I promise not to consume too much of your time. Thanks so much!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17583658846552231004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375534669307146006.post-50299894226771639632019-01-04T05:47:06.053-08:002019-01-04T05:47:06.053-08:00Thank you dear one!

It may still have many heartbreaking twists and turns, but we are grateful for the love and prayers of so many, for the resources that we find at the last minute, and for the fact that he is not hardened so much that he refused assistance. Keep those prayers coming!

At the end of it all, we just have to be able to stand before the Lord and say that without a shadow of doubt we did all we could to care for the least of these (the orphans) and our eternal rewards will be amazing!

The journey that we have been called to has been hugely supported by our sweet family and friends. He has a ten day "probationary period"... here is praying for great things, trust the Lord for His perfect timing, and knowing that God is in the details!
