Sometimes Parenting Just Hurts

I don't keep a journal. This blog has really been the only place I have ever taken the time to write my thoughts down.  Please bare with me because I know sometimes I ramble. 

Well, it has been about five days since we were told that our precious Sera would be loosing her sight very soon.  Many thoughts have gone through my head.  How do we prepare ourselves?  How do we prepare Sera?  How do we prepare the other kids?  Do we need to make changes in our home to make it safer for her?  Will she be scared?  How will I explain to her what is going on?

I think more than anything I am scared for her.  What will it be like when everything begins to go dark?  I can only imagine she will be scared.  But she is only two years old and is developmentally delayed.  How do you explain to a child of her cognitive ability that she is going to be OK.  I can only place her in the hands of our Heavenly Father.  I know that He is the only one that can give true comfort and security. 

As I watched her today walking with her cane tears flowed.  At times she walked with such confidence and then at times with uncertainty.   She is such a strong little girl.  I can't wait to see how God uses her in the future.  I know He has big plans for our little girl. 

Just what I have been thinking today.

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME

  1. Praying that your journey with Sera will be filled with wonder at what God can do when we trust Him in the details. I'm sorry that your "momma" heart is hurting.
