When I was pregnant with AJ...This is a great post.<br /><br />When I was pregnant with AJ, we had a "scare" on the ultrasound that he might have Down Syndrome. I remember praying that AJ would be ok. My husband (wise as he always is) told me that he would be ok whether he had Down Syndrome or not. After a few more ultrasounds, the risk was reduced and AJ was born without Down Syndrome.<br /><br />However, as you probably know from Facebook, AJ was diagnosed at age 3 with autism. If you had asked me before I was pregnant, even during my pregnancy, I would have told you I could not parent a child with special needs. I practically prayed against it. But God called me to be AJ's mom, and with that calling also came the calling to be an advocate for other children and families with special needs. I would *never* have imagined doing this or being the person I am today, but it is who God prepared me to be, and I wouldn't change it at all. <br /><br />Thanks again, Amanda.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17505792087015040447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-195491871000058567.post-57048015132097285882013-08-28T12:10:04.634-04:002013-08-28T12:10:04.634-04:00I love this. { Also?

It sort of drives me crazy about myself. : ) Oh, to be single-focused! } <br /><br />We probably have a whole list of "never's" in our minds. Personally, I have lived through or am currently living through several of my own "never's." And I wouldn't change any of them, that's the crazy part.<br /><br />Great post, my friend.Scooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13200593501887901812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-195491871000058567.post-18709109281303553492013-08-28T01:50:19.536-04:002013-08-28T01:50:19.536-04:00Thank you, Miss Michelle!
