Matthew 18:20 (NIV)
20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
I am so thankful that God has placed me at The Master's Hands. I am so blessed to be able to gather together with my spiritual family so many days of the week. I know that it has been what has gotten me through the past several months.
Today was Steven's IEP meeting. I was unable to drive over to his school, and did it via phone. I miss seeing everyone over there, maybe next time. I knew that it was going to be a hard one with the people that were invited to the meeting. Something is always up when the district has a certain person at the meeting. I had Bev pray with me before I left as I knew it would be a rough one. My anxiety has been up enough the way it is. The district wants to see about sending Steven to a workshop at least one day a week. They say so he can get adjusted to being out and about in Richland county. Hello! He does get out and interact with people here. I said it was a bad idea as it would be rough on Steven to have different places on different days. ICA agreed with me, that it wouldn't be good for him. The transition services guy even said Steven wasn't ready for a workshop setting. Somehow the people who deal Steven the least think they know what is best. We are meeting again in December to explore the possibility of him doing that. The district also says that there are problems daily on the van. News to me! Somehow things are never brought up until the meeting and then they expect me to have input about it. I made it known more than once that I was unhappy about the lack of communication. I don't how they expect me to help correct something I don't know about.
Anyway, it all comes down to this. I am glad I get to gather together with a lot of people tomorrow. Food line is tomorrow and it will lift my spirits. I also look forward to October when I am starting a support group for those who are caregivers of special needs children/adults. More info to come on that.
I thank God for the great support group his has given me with my physical family, spiritual family and friends. I know that I couldn't be where I am without them.
Take Care and God Bless,
Sherri
This a picture that Steven took. My two favorite people in the world! Well their feet and legs at least.
