Finding GOD in autism

So, Vince came home today and said here's a new book for you to read. Finding GOD in autism, by Kathy Medina a mom just like me who knows my trials and tribulations. I like my routine filled with the same things day after day, with a smile on my face my heart filled with hope, my soul and mind working and praying with faith, but when my human self that can't do anything without GOD, calls out for help he always answers my prayers. This book, that I finish that same night that Vince my husband gave me was exactly what I needed to hear. Bottom line is this, Jeremiah 29:11-14)"For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek with all of your heart. I will be found by you.'Declares the Lord,' and will bring you back from captivity." So it got me thinking of all the things children affected by autism aren't supposed to accomplish in their lifetime, you know he will never speak, or love, or be social, but don't forget this famous one they will never be independent. In this picture Gio is on a bus in Cancun Mexico in the front seat as his grandparents think of how grateful they are to see this moment in their lifetime, they love him so much!. Gio loves to travel and look at things through his own eyes. Gio's words are "all done" he is saying leave me alone. (In this picture, Gio and his grandparents Maria and Cayo Baca)



Gio's on a swing, having so much fun! He loves to get out of the house, he runs for his shoes and says " let's go". He will go anywhere at anytime you ask him.

Gio and his little brother Joshua, I have never seen a love so beautiful, that communication is not a problem for them, it's something in their eyes that keeps them going. Gio is so happy that his Lord Father gave him a little brother.

Gio plays soccer, and on his preferred days he's pretty good, he likes passing the ball to all of his team. But I think he loves half time more, he sits and is soical with his friends from school.

Gio is learning everyday, he is coloring with me and his brother at the park for a family picnic. I thought I would never see this day, but my mom said "never say never" I'm not anymore.

But, most of all he is a daddy's little boy, just like any other boy, they always find crazy toys to play with!! I'm sharing this with you because after reading this book I prayed and GOD gave me a reminder about all the little things that make a big difference in our life living with autism. Glory to GOD in the Highest!! above all!!
