keep swimming
- God is still good and God is still soverign. It is easy to drown in guilt when dealing with a diagnosis like spina bifida. But you can not move forward while drowning. You have to start swimming. It's not the pool you might have seen yourself in or the club you wanted to join, but your in it now and it's either drown or swim. God knitted your child together and touched his/her back and is soverignly affecting his/her life and everyone around your child. Just keeping swimming. Rest in the facts not in the feelings. www.raisingtoby.blogspot.com
