Happy 1st Anniversary Lost in the Script

Wow can't believe it's been a whole year since we started our blog. I'm so thankful we have a space to share our family's journey through autism and just regular parenting trials and tribulations. If you have taken the time to read any of our blogs or have shared them, or dropped a comment we would love to say, "Thank you". We appreciate all of the support and love we have received over the past year. Over the next year there might be other subject matters. As I mentioned we have two other sons who are teenagers. That makes for good material as well. Besides celebrating our blogs first anniversary we are also celebrating our Cashy boy who is turning seven today. This past year we have watched Cash thrive. He stepped out of his comfort zone in so many ways. I look forward to sharing what the next year holds for him.

July is such an emotional month. There are so many things happening and being celebrated. I'm in awh of Gods glory. Have you ever heard that God has always had you in mind. Down to how many hairs are on your head. I believe that with my whole heart. It's no coincidence that the same month he decided to get me sober two of my boys were born, I started a business, and eventually this blog. "With God all things are possible", Matthew 19:26 Twenty-two years ago I surrendered to alcohol and gave my life to Jesus. My hope and prayer is that this will find someone who needs the strength to change and see what possibilities he has for you.

As I close out our anniversary blog a quick little Cashy story. A couple nights ago we had to grab a couple last minute birthday supplies for him and Logan. You can imagine how excited he was. As we were checking out, I could see he was over stimulated. He started scripting lines from Toy Story. Being his Mom I knew what was going on. However, to strangers around us they just see a chatty kid. At one point he was trying to bag up other customers items and "help' the cashier. I had advised him to just stay with me that she can do it on her own. He listened and stood beside me. As the cashier rang me up, she looked me square in the eye and said, "Ill pray for you". She was obviously referring to Cash's excitement. I could have said some things, I chose not to. I just said, "Thanks". I was furious the entire ride home going over how I should have handled that or what I should have said. Let's be honest none of it was going to be positive. I stayed quite for a reason. What I will do is prayer for her. Ill pray that she might think before she speaks and ill pray, she doesn't have to feel the way she made me feel. I love the saying "Let's be kind to all kinds" and not just during a designated month. Like year around. Don't be kind to my kid because he's autistic be kind cause it's just the right thing to do. With that Ill end and again just thank everyone for your encouragement over the past year.
