Journal - The Joy is in the Journey We Take

Not one of us mothers are perfect. We don't all have the answers and don't know why our son's are affected with this disease. Yes, we have the right to be and feel angry, & even at God. Its ok to be angry. Let it out any time, because it may be the only way to help you feel better.   Its ok to go to your pastor or a therapist and talk about it. Its ok to have a blog and write about it.  You can put your energy there, but also use your energy to help make a difference in your son's life NOW!!  And while you are at it, enjoy every single second with him/her, because none of us are promised for tomorrow.

Just know no matter how angry you get -even at God,  that He does have a plan for YOU and your son.  Ok we may deny Him and his plan. Ok we may even no longer believe in Him.  But know, no matter what He is still there holding you and your family and waiting for you to let Him be part of your life.

And once He does, You may see wonders happen..& with joy, but you may also experience sorry as well.  And through this sorrow, we may need to learn how to TRUST HIM.  Yes It will take a lot of work & effort, but through it we will learn how life is a school and we continue to learn the lessons of life - hate & love,   good & bad,   joy & sorrow, anger & happiness, etc...etc... Its all about the life we live now and what we make of it.

Like I said, we are not perfect.  And sometimes we may have the answers, but as long as we TRUST HIM and allow him to work His plan in our lives, we will begin to see how things fell in place - like a puzzle;  and then our hearts, minds & eyes are opened;  and the light will flow.   You will begin to understand what He had planned for you all along, & you know that son with DMD - was part of the plan all along.

After all He chose YOU to be the mother of that boy.  He chose YOU to be not only his mother but his caregiver too.  He chose to teach and direct that life in the right way. And yes, with most of us we will experience sorrow....with him

Sorrow that will make us angrier.  Throw things.  Perhaps not even understand why this had to happen.  The heartache will be beyond. We will weep. We will isolate ourselves. We will grieve so much that our minds and bodies will seem to fall apart.

But remember one thing, through all this sorrow and anger, God too experienced this when Jesus died on the cross to save us. 

The wonderful thing about this, even if we grieve over the loss of our son's - our son's will actually just be in a deep sleep. He won't even know he has died.  He no longer will suffer from this disease. And as we grieve the loss of our son, the person he was, when Jesus comes again, he will rise with a new body and mind and the glorious thing is...Jesus will be the first he will see.

That is the wonderful thing we need to focus on. That is the joy we should look upon. The joy is in the journey we take on this path that God put us on. We must choose how we act on it or decline it. It may be rugged. There may be lots of rocks to climb or even Mountains. However our paths are, God gives us lessons in life to live upon. How we treat each other- to inspire or to downgrade.   The choice is up to you how you want your life to be. To Inspire others or live a life that will not lead anywhere.  Your son was put into your life, on your path with you for a reason.  Have you found that reason yet.



Think how maybe you inspired him, or how his life inspired you. Maybe through him, you were able to create an organization that later will be in his memory.  Maybe though him, you found what YOUR life was about. Maybe through him, you found your right path. Maybe through him, you found God.

Ok maybe you don't believe it...that is up to you. No matter what, he is in a better place, in a new club. Boys who rose from the wheelchair and became a new person, a new being, a new angel.
