autistic: a pervasive developmental disorder of children, characterized by impaired communication, excessive rigidity, and emotional detachment.
whether or not to serve in children sunday school was a struggle huge struggle it just seemed politically right to serve in youth after all my disciples are there my age ppl are all there
it was actually a silent decision pwj asked me a few times if i wanted to serve in children sunday school or youth i just kept avoiding the question then suddenly, i was not informed of all PABA activities and i realised the decision was alr made
discussed it with grace before prayed about it also finally, i made my decision
this year, nursery class seem to be a bigger challenge than last despite havin only half of the size last yr the kids required more attention one of the four regulars is autistic
today i had a chance to interact more with him(usually i would be with the other kids so that one of the teachers could keep her attention on him only) from the first lesson of the year all i could hear from him was his screams he refused to speak not even a single word whilst the teacher is teaching he would stay at one side hitting the pins with a ball and patiently setting the pins again(bowling) today was no different as the teacher who usually looked after him was busy with two other girls i went to play with him decided to try getting him to say colours
used the bowling pins asked him for the colours at the start he ignored me but slowly he treated it as a game and he enjoyed it he started shouting out the respective colours of the pins when i ask him
the joy i felt when i heard him is indescrible the pronounciation wasnt accurate nor was is clear but he was happily laughing and shouting the colours I was just overwhelmed with joy
God works wonders Nothing is impossible Like how He loves that boy He loves all of us He knows our weaknesses and our strengths and He uses us in that special way the way He planned when He created us :)
*Stay hopeful!* ~Dear Jesus I pray for En Xiang. I pray that in Your own timing, You reveal Your plans for him. God, let him know that, he is no different from the other kids. He has Your love, and his family's too. May he grow in love. Thank you Lord, for loving us for who you made us to be. Amen~
