The Little Life

FMOTD: Taylor left me a voice message today and she said at the beginning of the message “This is your daughter calling. Not the daughter with the walker, but the daughter without the walker, thats me!” I wish I knew how to record it and put it on here. It was pretty funny.

It has been raining here all day! I think I have said it one other time…and I will say it again…I absolutely LOVE the rain! I love it, love it, love it! The streets and city here in Las Vegas seem to be so much cleaner afterwards…and there is no question that we need the rain!

Yesterday, I was able to resolve some of the current challenges that I have been facing at the social security office. This time I out smarted them! I took reinforcement. I took Taylor with me!!! We got there right when they were about to close the doors and Taylor walked right up and knocked on the doors…they couldn’t resist. The security guard said “Ok, just this once” and let us in. Thank you Mr. Security Guard!!!! We were the last ones in there so our visit went very quickly and smoothly! I don’t think they would have let me in if Taylor wasn’t with me. Just something about her smile…you can’t resist. I wish could say that is the end of the saga of social security income & medicaid for individuals with special needs, however I have a feeling that the adventure will be continued.

I am currently sitting at a coffee shop waiting for the 3 little children to finish their Church Small Groups. They each attend a small group house roughly two times a month. Each group is consisted of a group of students (40-50) that are roughly the same ages, who attend our church, live somewhat in the same area, and go to nearby schools.

It is well worth the 45 minutes it takes to get each of the kiddos to their individual groups. These groups have changed my children’s lives. I really mean that! They each have had the opportunity to connect with other kiddos their own ages that accept each of them where they are in their life…AND one important fact is that each of these children is given the opportunity to put Christ in the center of their life (it doesn’t get any better than that!) .

Honestly, I never thought my children would  ever have had the opportunity to be with a group of students their own age independently (without me), attend Camp out of state, and simply have a group of people that know everything about them and accept each of them for who they are. It’s absolutely wonderful. I just want you to understand one thing…on Sunday when I take my children to church (www.centralchristianchurch.com)

My children walk in those doors where there is roughly 5,000 people that attend each Sunday, and each one of my children go their own way. They go to their age group services, volunteer, and socialize in the coffee shop. I never worry, because I know that if they need assistance it is never far away. The body of Christ is near! Their is hope for each of them…it is evident. It truly is a blessing for all of us!

Time is up! Gotta round up the troops!

One more thing…I have a new favorite song that I caused Erin & Jorden to say “Really? Again?!” The repeat button is on when this song is playing! I can’t hear it too much! Hope you enjoy it like I do!

Until next time,
