Tender mercies

I feel so blessed and overwhelmed today. Jeremy has been having the hardest time at school. He's so angry, he hits himself, nobody at school seems to want or know how to help him. No one seems to recognize that he's autistic not just a punk kid. The principle we've had was so terrible. He was mean. Just sent Jeremy home for every dumb little thing and was pigeonholed as the really bad kid when in reality he's the sweetest, most tenter hearted kid at school. Well that principle got fired and we finally got  a new one. I instantly emailed her and said lets meet. I wanted her to know all the things that were going on with him and to really know him and not that he was a bad kid. So Mike and I had a meeting today with her. I decided to fast Sunday for some help and extra guidance. I have never felt so calm as I was fasting. I felt like everything would be ok. Then the day of the meeting I emailed all my friends and asked them to say a special prayer for my Bubba. This meeting was so important for Jeremy, well it went better that I could have imagined. The new principle and Vice were so wonderful and willing to help and really seemed to want to do things different than the past. The principle seemed to listen to me and want to help him. I left there feeling so much peace and that things were actually going to be ok, that Jeremy was going to be OK. I love that boy so much and I will do anything for him. He is the sweetest, truly the sweetest most lovable boy. Im so lucky and grateful to be his mom. Grateful for the opportunity to fast and grateful for prayer.
