Two weeks ago life for Super D and the rest of the family began to change. We sold the house in April. Two weeks ago today we had the biggest moving truck I could get parked in the driveway.
Two weeks ago today life as we knew it changed drastically.
We loaded the truck preparing to leave the only home our kids had ever known. For sixteen years, that was home. We moved in to the house in April 2003. That same day we announced to everyone we were expecting our first child. Over the years we welcomed three more boys into our home.
We also began the incredible journey we are currently on – the journey we call Life With Super D.
Two weeks ago a new chapter in life began for us. Not only were we preparing to leave our home, we were preparing to leave Kansas. God was calling us to join him in another place, so we were going.
As I type this I can sit on the sofa and look at Pikes Peak.
All this change has been rough for Super D. He did ok for the first week, but this week he has been a pill. I think he is suddenly realizing we are not going back to Kansas. This is a tough time for him. Change is always difficult for kiddos like Daniel who are very routine oriented.
We have a little bit of a return to normal coming in a couple weeks. We got an email from the school system last night. They have an extended school year class that meets in the month of July. Starting the 8th, Daniel will be back in school Monday thru Thursday mornings. This is a huge blessing. He gets some routine, and there will be someone in the district that gets to know him before the school year starts.
As far as God’s calling goes, we are still in waiting. We visited a church Sunday that wanted to get a special needs ministry off the ground. We will have to see where that leads, if anywhere. One prayer I had as we began to move was that God would place us around other families who have children with special needs. We have two other families across the street!
Life has taken an unexpected turn in the last couple months, but at least it is a good turn!
I was made a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace that was given to me by the working of his power – Ephesians 3:7
Life With Super D!
