So, This is kinda like a journal entry for me. Seb and I went to see "The Bee Movie" this afternoon. It was okay. Afterwards we always have to go into the Mall to play on the lights. Most Malls have a reactrix floorboard where all the kids end up. Seb ,signed, please to a mother and child with a Balloon and they gave it to him right away. What a little miracle that was right there. Then he literally found a best friend and played with this balloon with this other little girl for like an hour before leaving and left the balloon behind for her to enjoy. The joy that comes from something as simple as a balloon. He actually left on a happy note.
Another time at the Mall, same spot of course, He made another best friend actually two, they were twin brothers and played chase with him as well. The mother kindly gave Seb a granola bar which he did not want but she insisted he keep it. The next day, Sebastian refused to eat anything, just one of those days, but finally he went into the pantry where I had put the granola bar, and that was the only thing he was willing to eat practically the whole day. That was a miracle.
Sebastian had a Doctor Appt. this Tuesday and we got there at 1:20pm with an Appt. scheduled at 1:30pm. We waited and waited and that is a very hard thing for Sebastian to do. We did'nt get called in until 3:50pm. I was sooo worried he would get bored and then out of control. Luckily he made some more best friends and he had brought in a balloon with us which he and the other children were able to play with. They were waiting also for about the same amount of time so It worked out to everyones satisfaction and enjoyment.
Sebastian always seems to get other peoples balloons, while waiting in line at the pharmacy downstairs, Sebastian gestured and squealed as a lady with a couple of balloons past us by out the door. She then not a mintue later came back in to give one of the balloons to Sebastian because he had wanted one. Waiting in line was quite easier and enjoyable with this balloon. I don't just believe these are little coincidences, I believe they are witnesses to Gods loving hand in our daily lives and Truely miracles to me. I marvel at the people who can do these kind acts. To be honest If I had been the lady walking by with the balloons I might have not seen Sebastian and just kept going, but she did, and she even turned back. Sometimes I feel like I carry it all on my own and feel overwhelmed or discouraged but as I sat tonight at the Mall, It almost brought me to tears in that we are soooooooooooo blessed and I am often too busy or distracted to recognize these little miracles and that God is truely a part of our lives every single day.
And let me tell you a smile goes a long way and I was reminded of this just yesterday on my way to a Dr. Appt. for myself. I was walking up to the hospital already feeling a little discouraged when a man passed me by and gave me the most warm genuine smile. All of a sudden I was smiling and feeling happy and hopeful.
In closing, I know that God lives and he truley loves each and everyone of us. He is always there even when we fail to recognize his loving hand.. He loves us so much. There are times when I feel like I have nothing left to give or I am ready to give up out of exhaustion and frusteration and then miraculously,all of a sudden, I get an amazing boost of confidence and energy and those feelings of dispair are gone just as quickly as they came. I admit it is a challenge for me a lot of the time taking care of Sebastian but I Know that I am not alone and that is the best feeling. I know that If we can all smile a little more and not dwell on the bad little things but see that there truely is a purpose and reason for everything we will truely be blessed to see Gods loving hand in our lives, at all times and in all things and in all places.

That was a wonderful post, I'm so glad you know that you and Seb are loved! poopy diapers are the worst! I always think about something else to distract from the smell!
I just love those tiny miracles that seem to turn the day around. :) To me it's just another thing that Heavenly Father does to let me know He's watching out for me. Thank you for your testimony, Julie. I needed that today.
