There are so many stories I have but I will stick to this one.From the time my son started school; he hated it and struggled. I was a stay at home mom but not without a cost. We struggled financially but felt it was so important to be there for him. Year after year we tried everything we could for him with what we had. I prayed and prayed for help but never could afford to get him tested or tutoring and yet was also willing to work outside the home if that is what Jesus led me to do, He did not. I didn’t understand why God was not providing the help we needed and no path to his future,

As time went on it became clear that not only did college become a fading aspiration but he was also colorblind which closed the door to so many other viable options for him. Then one day I finally pieced together that he was dyslexic.At some point, after growing in my faith I finally realized that here I was resisting all of this and failing to see that this was all by God’s design. Somehow I needed to change how I was seeing this and trust that God was closing the doors and that He was doing so to coral my son toward the right path.

Jump ahead to now and the current state of affairs with colleges and the military etc.. Who could have predicted that everything would turn out the way it has, God was leading us all along and my son has been working as a tech on the roadways for one year now, ever since he graduated last year. He has his own work vehicle, is happy and thriving in his job. I no longer force my way through the roadblocks. I have learned to pray; submit and trust God regardless of how things look. My worry and stress over the last 20 years was my own doing; because Jesus had us all along.
