Most often, I am sharing prayer requests for our students and co-workers, and sometimes for Linda and me. Today, I want to share a request from my daughter. She and her family desperately need God's intervention. The note will be self-explanatory. It is lengthy, but purposefully for those who will pray.

Letter from Aimeé Williams our oldest daughter.

-------------------

I need to be a little vulnerable and open right now. This may be a long post so feel free to skip if you need to.

I’m a special needs mama and I love being my children’s mom. Each and every one of them is a gift, a treasure that I wouldn’t trade for the world. Loving them like I do doesn’t necessarily make daily life easier instead I would argue it’s actually harder. Harder because you hurt every time they hurt. You want answers but there aren’t. You need support because you want to what’s best for them but it just isn’t out there. So you carry it. Often very isolated because others do not truly understand. It’s not a judgment it’s a reality, it’s the reality of most SN parents. Why do I share all this? Because of what has been happening these last few weeks needs to be acknowledged and the glory given to God.

Many of you know by now we are moving. We have been hit with setbacks by setbacks. We have been living half moved half stuck for the last month. It’s very hard on all of us but especially our neurodivergent members.

You may also know that our main transportation (accessible van) for our oldest child broke down a few weeks ago. We still don’t have it back. Then his his wheelchair, which has been falling apart for a while finally broke in a way we couldn’t patch it up. Things just keep falling off/breaking. Right now all that is holding that chair to together is prayer.

So house, van, wheelchair, etc…. Seems like a lot. Yes, it is! I am going to be honest and say I was hitting rock bottom this past week. Eric and I are beyond exhausted. Mentally, physically, emotionally, it’s all at the bottom. My anxiety and my fears were spiraling and breaths away from a breakdown. That is where I have been. Trying to keep everything together for everyone. Keeping things regulated for those who need it, keep others physically safe, trying to keep my own self safe and it’s not sustainable.

This is where God gets all the glory. I was doing laundry, when am I not, and in tears and God’s Word came to me. The Lord is my strength and my refuge, The Lord is my shield and my defender, The Lord gives strength to the weary … and more. I clung and I mean clung to those promises. Did every thing get better? No. I am still exhausted and overwhelmed, but I am reminded that I am not doing this in my own strength. I love the children’s song Jesus Loves Me because HE is Strong when I am weak.

It’s not over I heard two not one sermons yesterday that brought not only conviction but also encouragement. (Thanks TW Davis and Steve Cullum) God had been hearing my prayers and He was always there. He brought a few conversation with friends and messages from His Word and sermons to remind me of His goodness and His faithfulness. I am by far from over this trial and season in life but I will choose to remember God’s faithfulness. I will choose to be vulnerable and allow God to use me and use others for His Glory.

Can you help? Yes, please pray! I kid you not knowing that many were praying and reaching out telling me were praying kept me going. Also if anyone wants to bring a home cooked meal in the next day or two (we leave Wednesday for camp), I won’t say no. We have packed up most of our kitchen and won’t even have a table after today. If anyone wants to come over and help entertain the boys tomorrow (Tuesday) or help with the end of packing or cleaning I won’t say no.

Here are some praises: 1) we should have a working loaner chair for Elijah tomorrow afternoon. 2) even with all the added stress, loss of sleep, and not great eating the last few months Eric and I have been healthy. 3) even though we won’t have our van in time, we have found a way to use our other vehicle to get to camp.

If you have stayed and read the whole post, thank you. Thanks for praying!
