Prayer request
It has been a week or so since I have posted so I knew I should at least post a line and let everyone know we are doing okay. OKAY being the key word! I am not sure what has me down, but something has me way down. Maybe it is the rain, maybe it is the new in our life( after a year it is hard to say new), and probably it is a combination of stuff that we are not ready to share with the blog world, just yet. I was discussing these things with some girlfriends today, and have come to realize that Justin and I have not been to dinner alone, and only 1 movie since Wyatt came home. I would not change this, but it has hit me like a ton of bricks that just maybe we need some adult time! Times like this I so wish for family to be closer....... I want to ask you to please lift Wyatt, and the rest of his family up in prayer. Pray for Wyatt to begin using his words, and communicating his needs. This is a really big deal that is not happening in our house. Pray for me that I can find the strength to continue with all the "extras" that Wyatt needs. Also, that I would not have so much guilt about being a working mom. I have TONS of guilt, and have found myself saying if only I was home more with Wyatt we could work on this lesson, or that letter, or this animal sound....... As I am typing this the tears are flooding back today! If you live in Oklahoma you know how much rain we have had this past week, well it feels as if my tears have amounted to more inches than the actual rain!?!?!? Thanks for listening today, and thank you for your prayers.

hang in there! sorry you are having a rough time. (hugs)
Praying for you guys!!! Please let me know if you need anything! We love you!
Lisa,
I understand and sympathize with your situation. Hang in there!
Hugs and Kisses,
Aunt Laurie
I know that I know very little, but that doesn't matter...God knows even more than you and I would love nothing more than to pray for you all.
I missed your last post, so it's amazing to read those back to back.
Isn't it amazing how the world can change when we are on our knees?
Lisa-
So sorry you are down. I understand the feeling. I know you feel guilt and I could tell you a thousand things to make it better, but it wont. You are the one who has to let yourself off the hook. Know that you aren't alone in the way you feel....just keep talking about it. We all feel inadequate at times...You are a great mom, you have fought to get Wyatt good treatment, you are an amazing advocate for your son. I will lpray for you.....Love you - Beck
I am so sorry that you are going through such a hard time! I know how you feel about being frustrated about Wyatt not using his communicating skills, I feel the same with Kaitlyn and her motor issues. It is very hard to be patient, but I believe that he will wake up and start talking in no time, so much so that you are going to be amazed! In Jesus name!
I believe there is nothing worse in this world than mommy guilt: am I doing enough, not enough, too much, am I helping them be the people I want them to be, but sweet girl you would feel that way even if you didn't work, just know that it is not because of that, you are an outstanding mommy, you love your son and you continue to work with him and he will continue to improve.
Hang in there...also I know how you feel about date night, that is always hard to fit in!
Take care and know I am praying and am here for you!
Girl, I'm thinking about you all and praying for you to find peace, strength, and healing. We love you guys. I know words from so far away may not feel like a hug, but if I were closer I would squeeze you as tight as I could!
Mommy and Daddy definitely need some grown up time. Wyatt will benefit from a strong bond between you two, and relationships always take maintenance no matter how close you feel. I know, it's easier said than done. You've already said it, so I'm sure you're working on how to make that happen.
Working moms all over the world are sympathizing with the guilt you feel. I'm having those feelings and my babies aren't even here yet. I don't know how I'm going to go back...probably kicking and screaming if I had to guess! Just know that you are providing for Wyatt and his future, and that the Lord is good and wouldn't put you in a place that he didn't feel you needed to be in. Trust in Him. He's never let you down before, even when you weren't sure of your purpose or the eventual outcome.
Love ya. Hope you get to a better place soon. I'll be praying for that to happen!
Sometimes words just aren't enough. God knows what you need and he'll give you ample amounts when you need it. Keep trusting hon...you and Justin are exactly the parents Wyatt needs. I love you.

Hey sweet Lisa....I will pray for you. I can relate to you in many ways....First, this rain is NO fun. Seriously, we need some sunshine...it's good for our souls! And because I'm a working mom too, I know the guilt thing backwards and forwards. I think the best advice I can give you is to guard your heart and mind from listening to Satan's lies. That is what usually gets me. Because the truth is, you are an excellent mother to your son. No, we're not perfect, but I can't imagine that there's "more" you could do. And, it is SO hard to devote so much time to our children and yet have time for our best friend relationship with our husbands. We know it is so important...it's just hard to find time to fit it all in. I too am dying to find time to go on a date night. I don't mean to sound like I have all of the answers or that I can fix what you are going through...I just want you to know that the feelings you are having, I have had before....and even some I am going through right now. I love you and will be praying.
Girl, you know I have been praying and will continue! The offer to keep Wyatt so you and Justin can have a date is still on the table. No there is not an expiration on the offer! My boys love them some Wyatt!
I don't want to preach so all I will say is Trust God with it all and through it all! Praying you find peace, comfort, rest and hope in the midst of it all!
Love,
Julie
What Great Parents you 2 are!!!Wyatt is such a lucky boy to have you & Justin. You have always been strong.Our prayers are with you. Wish you wre closer & Sassy would keep that baby while you two went out! LOVE Ya'll
