Bad blogger! So, I'll try again.<br /><br />This post is absolutely beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes and made my heart sing! :-) Thanks for sharing! I think I'm going to have to post this video over on my blog.<br /><br />Hang in there! You're not alone and you CAN do this!<br /><br />Indeed, we are known by name and so are our children. Each are precious in His sight. What an amazing blessing to know the Atonement is greater than all of this and really does have power to heal it. As I've walked this long and difficult road, I've come to realize that through these experiences I've also been given a profound and eternal gift - and that is to realize at least on some small scale the true depth and breath and deeply personal nature of that Atonement and also to realize the price at which we were really purchased. I wouldn't trade those lessons for anything. They haven't been easy to learn. Sometimes they sting. But, nothing that's truly worthwhile in this life or that has power sufficient to bring us where we want to be in the next ever is.<br /><br />Your little one isn't rejecting you personally. He's TERRIFIED, and terrified, traumatized kids act very differently than terrified securely attached kids. He's a precious soul who's not yet had the opportunity to attach to another human being. His life experiences haven't taught him that big people can be trusted or that the world is a safe or predictable place. Approach him as cautiously and gently and with as much compassion as you would a feral cat. Remind him he is safe, you're not going to hurt him, and that you're here for him want to help him. He'll eventually come around and learn to trust.<br /><br />I heard a quote the other day that really made me think. "When God solves our problems for us, it's so we can have faith in his abilities. When God doesn't solve our problems for us, He has faith in our abilities."Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444891084585965661noreply@blogger.com
