A new season of life...

Well, I truly believe we are beginning a new season of life here in the Neimer house. I guess you could say I've felt "stuck" for a long time. But through God's Mercy we are truly beginning to thrive. God told me last year we would find out what was going on with Willie Pie. Raising a child on the Autism Spectrum is not for wimps. And, through many trials we found out what didn't work for Will. But, this spring new life is sprouting up like the bluebonnets in the fields. Will is doing REALLY well at Woodway Elem. His teacher and aides are amazing, Christian people. They love Will, work WITH him, believe in him, and are Believers in Christ. I could NOT ask for better people to be with Willie 8 hours a day. I feel so blessed. He is sleeping in his bed more often. Sleeping with a tornado isn't easy! So, both Brad and I are excited for him to stay in his own bed. He is talking to me about his feelings instead of using his hands and fists to express himself. He is being much kinder with his speech towards us. THIS is the Willie pie I love dearly. We all make mistakes....but it's what we DO with our mistakes that make us the people that we are. And, that is what I see with Will right now. And, I am so happy. God allowed us to sell our house without listing it....by owner or agent. I told a friend on fb and she told a friend on March 12th. Now, we will be closing on our new house on May 4th. God showed us His Mercy again by allowing us to skip the whole "keep the house spotless" thing. He knew the stress it would create on Willie. (and me!) He knew it would be so hard on all of us. And, His mercy just rained down on us. Things for so long looked so bleak. During this Spring time I feel so much lighter...and so thankful for our Lord's goodness. God is good....period.
