Your experience reminds me of the story of the cocoon with the butterfly struggling to get out. Some one took tiny scissors and clipped the cocoon and the butterfly got out. But the wings did not develop. The struggle makes the wings develop so the butterfly can fly. So it is with us, our struggles make us stronger. It is difficult to stand by and watch our children struggle, fall and make mistakes. But in so doing, they learn and become stronger individuals. We are indeed their cheerleaders. God is so good!!

I loved reading your insights in the last post and the updates on this one. Katri, you are such a wise woman and I can feel your thoughts almost as I share about what wondering what's going on in Mia's little mind. It would drive me nuts I think trying to figure out what she is going through, thinking, how to help her, etc....but that's when we also rely on a Sovereign God! Your insights as you've observed her with various types/ages of people show your wisdom as well! Does make you wonder..... Oh, and I got teary just reading about you watching her/having to leave the room during therapy! BUT..you are right, you must let her do it. That's the only way she will grow and look what a huge hurdle forward she made from how you handled that situation.<BR/><BR/>Praying that you all will sleep better tonight!<BR/>Love, Sally for the Stone Mountain CrewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20382965.post-16116000584291526142007-04-10T20:31:00.000-06:002007-04-10T20:31:00.000-06:00This was such a great post for me to read!

I won't go into all of the details, but just wanted to say thank you for your insight and lessons from therapy. It really made me think through some things we are experiencing and how I might change things up a bit.<BR/>Oh, and Mia is precious!Denahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394683409606165163noreply@blogger.com
