3 little words and then some

Have you ever heard these words - I HATE YOU- well I have many many times- and let me tell you those words cut to the heart- well they did for me for a bit- and now- they don't so much- I do not like to hear them but they do not cut to the heart so much-they are just words spoken when a young man is angry. I simply tell him I love him and say it over and over again until he stops saying he hates me-

It is an amazing way -to have his attitude change.

I know I may have concerned some of you with my last post- let me reassure you - I am ok- just tired-when it is a constant thing of calming and angry child that could get volatile it does get you tired-especially when it is daily- dealing with a child with emotional and behavioral baggage is no easy task-I do not recommend this type of life for the weak- honestly it takes guts and perserverance and determination- sometimes strength from others and just the caring of others to help you through to know You ARE NOT ALONE- I wonder at times how in the world I was chosen for this incredible life- I am not losing out hope-he just is going through some regression. We will overcome though-

Many have told me I am doing an amazing job- yes yes I am - I am doing an amazing job- we have come so far in this journey of only 4 years November 18th. I am doing everything possible to help him- it is up to him what he does with the help- these are not my choices they are his-

I continously learn how to deal with him and what I need to change- It is a constant learning curve.

So do not worry- I am ok- just need some rest and down time for me- to recoup to regenerate- Things will change-Keep praying for us- God is doing a great thing- I just need to keep my eye focused on Him even during all seasons.

Mark 9:37 (New International Version)
