I have been on both sides of the IEP process many times as a parent and as a teacher. The first meeting is the worst as it marks the end of one dream and the start of a new journey. I would like to meet you and your son sometime. Prayers are coming your way.<BR/>Heather...love you and thanks for helping all of us out of the Asperger closet as we journey with our children.

God's power is made perfect in us through our weakness so He can be shown All Powerful. We NEVER have struggles that God doesn't know about and have "beyond our comprehension" plans for. God has HUGE plans for you and your little guy...in fact He has obviously already got to workin'! God Bless you Heather. And thanks for this, you are an inspiration. Lots of love-Heather WinterHeather Winterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703655187638508022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914223.post-1169666757927976892007-01-24T14:25:00.000-05:002007-01-24T14:25:00.000-05:00Heather, I just love your family so much!

I tend to forget too soon...thank you for showing me Him one more time and for being so open to his working in Eli and in just everything!

And I think a book is a good idea girl! God has gifted you so...you must share it with all! Thanks for the rest of the story.

I know we will both be there for each other to lean on. This proves so much that God was there to watch over Eli and make sure he was put in the proper place to excel! That makes me smile. <BR/><BR/>We signed our papers today during the "meets" session. My first time ever to have to sign that pink file folder. That's when reality hit me....it was an emotional moment. Thank you for displaying strength and courage as you guys are walking through this.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17422379315257722278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914223.post-1169606117407795102007-01-23T21:35:00.000-05:002007-01-23T21:35:00.000-05:00Heather, thank you so much for sharing all this. ...Heather, thank you so much for sharing all this. God has indeed been good to your family, to Eli, and to such a wonderful teacher. Praise God for parents & teachers who see beyond behavior and attitude to the heart of a child that is there just waiting for someone to love them enough to make the effort to understand them. Eli is a blessed boy to have you as his parents and Cindy as his teacher. You and Jason, and Cindy are double blessed to have Eli as your son and student. He has a gift to give the world, thank you for helping him discover how to unwrap it! May God bless your journey!Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358470510252088313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914223.post-1169571992098038192007-01-23T12:06:00.000-05:002007-01-23T12:06:00.000-05:00Wow!

I shouldn't be surprised at his faithfulness, but it never ceases to amaze me. Thanks again for sharing Eli's story.

Eli.....I love him so much. Such a great little boy. I love his sense of humor, his intensity, his kindness, his joy, I think I even sense a little lion in the boy. You know I love that. Thank you for allowing God to lead you through this. Thank you for being assistants to Eli's growing and evolution. You are very right...it is a journey that God is leading. Man does that bring rest and relief.

I figured you would write in the evening. And I was so pleased to find this.<BR/><BR/>It's just so beautiful, Heather, to see God not only provide for Eli... but for Him to show His provision for your needs. I'm sure there was a time that you or Jason wouldn't have even wanted to talk about this with others... But God has de-mystified it and helped you process it and here you are blogging about it! I love that! Now you're helping *us* and I for one am super-grateful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
