Why the good Lord decided to bless me with this amazing
young man has stumped me for years….
He is such a faithful young man. I don’t know that I would
be as faithful, if I were in his shoes. Heck, sometimes I falter in my faith just
as the mother of a JHD child. It is so much more challenging than anything I
have ever or will ever, experience. I only thought I had been through difficult
times. Looking back, what I thought were mountains, were simply mole hills.
So, I guess I have come to conclusion that
I am ‘okay’ with God’s plan…or ‘His purpose’….I’m not sure if ‘okay’ is the right
term….I suppose I should say I am ‘accepting’ of God’s plan or I am ‘obedient’
to His plan. I pray every day for a cure but should that cure not come and
Byron succumbs to JHD, then I will continue to Praise Him. I know that Byron, and
Megan (my daughter) for that matter, are both on ‘loan’ to me and likewise, I
to them.
Now that all of that has been said, it doesn’t
mean that I don’t cry, or get sad, angry or sometimes even temporarily bitter.
It just means that all in all, we are ok. We trust God and His plan. And, believe it or not, it is Byron’s faith
that has strengthened my faith to such a trusting level. Sometimes it amazes me….I’m
supposed to be the mother here…meaning, I am supposed to be the one teaching
him. Yet, he teaches me daily in so many ways….especially about walking in the spirit
and ‘Living for The Lord’.
Thank you, Jesus, for trusting me with my extraordinarily
faithful, amazing young man. I didn’t understand in the beginning, why you gave
him to me back in 1993, but I do now.
And I will leave you with my favorite quote by my favorite man:
"Live Life for the Lord, I do" - Byron Hare
Jeremiah
1:5
“Before
I formed you in the womb I knew you;Before you were born I sanctified you;
I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
