A Moms Special Lifestyle For A Special Needs Child

The Special Life of a Special Needs Mom
 
 
I'm a proud mom of 3 beautiful girls. All full of life and lots of personality. I love having girls we all have a lot in common. We all love fashion, hair, and make-up. It's been so much fun watching them in dance and cheering leading performances. God definitely blessed me with these ladies. 
 
 Like any family with children everyday is an adventure full of everything from laughter to crying. My goal is to have more laughter and less crying. Having children will definitely keep you in prayer and is a consistent  reminder of how strong you really are. Being a wife and a parent is the my most important role.
 
My first daughter has moderate to severe learning and social disabilities caused by 22q chromosome deletion. This is also characterized as intellectual disabilities. At 14 she starting having seizures, but thank God she has not had one in 7 years. Thank you Jesus!!! About 2 years ago Remi started  having mental illness issues. We actually didn't find out she had intellectual disabilities until she was 2 years old. The diagnoses was never made at birth.

The last 24 years has been an amazing journey full of beautiful days of sunshine and darkness. Through it all I can honestly say I'm stronger than I ever thought I could be. I know God has always been with me and my family, leading and guiding us every step of the way. Through the darkest times his light has always shined. My other girls have a love and understanding of life that can't be taught you have to live it. My husband and I are closer and have a higher level of respect for each other.

I hope my journey will help you embrace your child and special life style. With this blog I hope to encourage and give hope to other families that have a  special needs child. Embrace the gift that God as blessed you with. Praying for you!

THE CURE FOR LIFE: MY STRENGTH IS MY FAITH

My Work In Progress - Faith Hebrews 11:1 -  Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  Faith is a free gift from God.  It is the most valuable gift you can choose to receive.  Remember it is a choice. You play an active role in this gift. It is a gift that will bless you forever.  But with knowing that you have to choose to except it. If you choose to except it, it will change your life forever. Faith gives you freedom from worry and fills you with the joy of hope. There are many mysteries in the bible that God wants to unfold to us. Faith is a inner piece that can only happen between you and God. But once you have it, even just a very small amount it can change your life and the people around you. That's the mystery , we don't have to seek others or go beyond ourselves to accomplish this we already have it in us. The holy spirit is living in all believers we just have to connect with it. The holy spirit will strength us and help u

PARENTING VICTORY : MY ADULT WITH SPECIAL NEEDS AND MENTAL CHALLENGES

"I CAN DO ALL THINGS THOUGH CHRIST WHO STRENTHENS ME".. Philippians 4:13 ...My   daily reminder. I got this!  It gives me great peace and strength that can only come from Christ. This summer has been the most difficult time since 2014.  In 2014 Remi graduated from high school. Remi loved her high school experience. Although academically Remi was capable of doing more than what was expected of her in school. But that's a whole different story. Remi loved seeing her friends and having the same routine everyday. Her biggest love was riding the bus. Her bus pick-up time was 5:15...not good for mama!! Which just killed me for 4 years. But Remi LOVED IT!!  After graduation for the next 2 years it was hell on earth. We went to several therapist and psychologist to find out what was going on. Remi was diagnosed with bipolar by some and others couldn't give me a clue of what was going on. This was an extremely difficult and stressful time to say the least
