Until now the Lord has helped us... 5/25/11

Meet my Son Andrew aka "Andy"

I will be missing in action for the next couple of days. The reason...my baby boy will be graduating from high school and time is just passing me by so quickly that I didn't realize it until just now! 
13 years ago my husband and I decided to homeschool him and didn't know where this journey would take us. Friends and family would always ask us, "How long are you thinking of homeschooling?" Now we know they questioned us not so much because they cared, it was because they wanted to put their two cents in!  How long? That was the magic question, we didn't know. One thing we did know and that was that God was with us every step of the way and that we wouldn't make it without His help! 
Every journey is different. We started ours because our son had just been diagnosed with Autism and the doctors and school system wouldn't give us much hope. We turned to the unknown, trusting a known God and for His direction! 

We started with a boy that couldn't put three words together to form a sentence to having a young man that is dedicating his life to serving God and His people.
We started with a boy that wouldn't look us in the eye when we talked to him to having a young man that is focused and now driving and about to get his license.

We started with a boy the doctors said would have to live in an institution to having a young man that is completely independent and attending college this fall.
We his parents can truly say...Until now the Lord has helped us!

To God be all the Glory!
