October 7

Once upon a time, I was worried about how Isaac would deal with being in school. Would the kids like him? Would he fit in? Would he be happy? Would his speech issues hold him back? And then things like this started happening...

...and those long-held concerns just melted away. Shortly after he got in line at school this morning, a few of his classmates arrived and they started playing Rock, Paper, Scissors.

And it's not an uncommon kind of occurrence for Isaac. He's sweet and kind and funny and the other kids seem to like him; even the ones who aren't his good buddies want to play with him at the park. Even the girls say hi and talk to him.

It's a blessing to see him thriving. I should've had faith about it all along, but it just goes to show that not only will God shine through despite our insecurities, He'll also do immeasurably more than we might expect.
