Shoestring and Prayer: January 2013
http://stevensonlife.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Visitors Around The World. Wednesday, January 9, 2013. What was my first clue? John showed little or no reaction to happiness, kisses, smiles, etc. In fact, the only emotion he ever exhibited was frustration. He cried non-stop, all the time. And I mean all the time. My husband and I used to "joke" that if John was awake, he was crying. This lasted until he was close to 18 months old, when his language acquisition began to really accelerate. What were some of the signs along the way? Because of their sens...

Shoestring and Prayer: September 2011
http://stevensonlife.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Visitors Around The World. Friday, September 9, 2011. And then, there is my personal story, which they have never heard. We all have one. We know where we were, what we were wearing, whom we were with; we remember every minute of that morning down the finest detail. I will share my story with you now. For four hours I was unsure if my husband was dead or alive. Every imaginable scenario played out in my mind. Would I be a widow at 26? Would my husband be alive but horribly injured? I have the best job in...

Shoestring and Prayer: August 2011
http://stevensonlife.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Visitors Around The World. Tuesday, August 9, 2011. I find myself in a strange state of reflection tonight. I learned today that my Grandmother, my Mom's mom, is close to needing Hospice care and will probably not be with us much longer. When I heard that, my immediate reaction was a human one. I got sad, upset, and perhaps a little cheated that Grandma's last years have been spent in the cloudy haze of Alzheimers. We forced ourselves to search for the lessons and blessings. What if. Bless you through th...

Well, our critter trap is at it again! We never did catch the Mama possum last summer and she's back to nesting in our flower beds.

Shoestring and Prayer: August 2012
http://stevensonlife.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Visitors Around The World. Monday, August 27, 2012. He asked. I gently but firmly said, “John, you are not sick. This is not a disease and you are not going to die. You don't have to take pills for this or get shots. This is simply how God made you. He chose you to have this special gift.”. Was it wrong to tell him the truth? I asked him what was wrong; what he was thinking. He looked up at me and asked, “Mom, is the Asperger's why I am different from the other kids? Perger's or do I need to call it Butt.

Shoestring and Prayer: December 2010
http://stevensonlife.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Visitors Around The World. Monday, December 13, 2010. As a stay-at-home Mom, I tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to unexpected knocks at my door, and generally don't open it. For some reason, I made an exception to this rule when a young man knocked on my door last week. I asked, not really wanting to buy whatever he was selling, but still feeling an urge to speak with him. I immediately liked him. He paused as if he had said too much. By now, I was out on the porch with him, the door ...

Shoestring and Prayer: March 2011
http://stevensonlife.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
What do YOU believe? Visitors Around The World. Wednesday, March 9, 2011. What do YOU believe? However, on Christmas day, 2004, three photos were taken of me that I cannot explain. I want to share them with you now and hear. Explanations and opinions. That Christmas day was only three months after Jordan died and the wound was still very raw. I was relying heavily on strength from family, friends and the Lord to get me through each day. This photo was taken with my camera. Is it an angel? Please leave yo...
