Wednesday, December 30, 2020 - The Battle is HIS

Posted in The Battle is HIS

I told you in my introduction that I had many Blogs. Some were "alternate identities" because I don't want the world to know EVERYTHING about me. Others were because I was dealing with things I wasn't ready for friends and family to know about me or my family. I am trying now to pull all these pieces together.

I will be posting things from one of my other blogs: The Battle is HIS. This was a blog I had that was for Asperger's Syndrome which my oldest son has been diagnosed with. It is a high functioning form of Autism and it explains a LOT of his quirky and sometimes infuriating behaviors.

I wasn't ready to tell the world when he was diagnosed because I had no clue WHAT to tell friends and family. Now I am older, wiser and ready to speak out about this crazy disorder.

If you want to know more about these posts read "The Battle is His" in my categories.

Sometimes I forget my Blog is here, and I go away from it for LONG periods of time. I often forget that there could be others reading what I store here for my own edification and reference.

Today I got an e-mail. I would like to share parts of that e-mail and my reply with those who might happen by this blog and wonder...what do you mean by "The Battle is HIS???"

May I ask what your mean when you say "The Battle is HIS"? I'm

wondering because our son is {age removed} and its a phrase my

husband uses often meaning he has to be the one to do some things.

Best wishes,

MY REPLY:

I took my blog name from the scripture "The battle is the LORD's, and he will give all of you into our hands." 1 Samuel 17:47 (NIV)" because I know that I can not fight this diagnosis on my own. Likewise I can not expect my son to fight it on his own either. No matter how tired I get from the fight ultimately I am not alone in the battle, and it IS a daily battle, but so much easier when given unto HIM who will never leave us or forsake us.

Yes, meds are an option we are considering. But they are only temporary "band-aids" for the more permanent problem. We are seeking total and complete healing. I will not rest with the diagnosis or prognosis that my son can not, will not be whole.

Don't get me wrong, the road is HARD! I have OFTEN fallen off the wagon and had to repent not only to God but my son as well. I DAILY deal with my own emotional issues and MANY times I lose it with him. Still I continue day by day knowing that God has a plan for him (ad me) and that He knew I would be his mother and that was part of HIS plan for our son.

So my new found friend remember to be a FROG and Fully Rely On God, His resources are NEVER limited, His mercies are NEW every morning and those that wait UPON HIM shall renew their strength!

Be Blessed!
