When God Shows Up

I have written, erased, written, deleted, written, edited…then deleted, more times then I can count the past two weeks. My mind is cluttered and working over time, and I can feel it. I’m intentionally working on being present. On staying focused. And focusing on what’s most important. On being a better version of myself. On learning and growing more then I ever have in one year. I’m going to be vulnerable and raw for a moment. I’ve only covered the surface, but I feel like I should continue to tell ‘his’ story and bring you on our journey.

He is going to move mountains in a big way. It may be on his own time, and most definitely in his own way, but he’s gonna move them, and I’m bracing myself. I was going to wait until we had more answers, but the truth is, God showed up in a big way today, and I can’t keep it to myself. Don’t get me wrong, I know He is with us every step of the way, but there are moments when you just KNOW He is talking to you. And I’m listening.

We went to our Parenting Class at church yesterday. We’ve been sitting next to the same couple for the past 3 weeks. We’ve been talking, laughing, understanding each other’s struggles, learning, and sharing experiences and insights as a group. But today, I took a deep breath, and shared how our parenting journey was somewhat thrown for a loop when #3 came along. (I tend to be an open book. Difference number 5,042 between my husband and myself) I mentioned ‘processing.’ I was surface level, but still wanted to explain how we really had to alter how we parent and how each child is so uniquely different, and sometimes it can be challenging to alter your parenting approach 4 different ways.

After the class ended, the guy we had been sitting next to asked us more about what we were going through. We explained the basics, but also as much as we could get out in a short amount of time. I mentioned that we have an appointment for him to have an evaluation at a Neuropsychologist next month. This man understood and knew EVERYTHING we were talking about. Y’all. Queue the tears. Turns out he’s a Pediatric Chiropractor that specializes in Processing Disorders, Autism, ADHD, along with Epilepsy, Down’s Syndrome and Cerebral Palsy. He is hosting a seminar coming up he told us we should come to; it’s the same week we have the evaluation! I’m seriously in awe of the timing, and know in my heart we are on the right path, in the right time, and at the right place. We had chills driving home and I had tears in my eyes. It’s clearly all a part of His plan.

We don’t know what the evaluation is going to show. Only time will tell. All I know is, even in my moments of doubts or others not completely understanding, we are exactly where we are meant to be. We are in an incredible school district, have a phenomenal Pediatrician who has steered us in the right direction, and now we are signed up for a parent seminar, ‘The Perfect Storm.’ Because this is…The Perfect Storm.

Kylan Jack, YOU are our Perfect Storm.
