If anyone of you has had children with disabilities, physical or mental, you may have troubles from time to time accepting the struggle they need to go through to simply live life. It can be discouraging to feel there is no progress, or worse regression, and you fear for their life. What will they be like when they are older? Why is God allowing them to be this way? Will I have enough strength, patience, and love to give them what they need?
In my case, I don’t always know what I’m dealing with, but I do know I struggle. A lot. Lots of mental battles and negative energy. At times it can seem like too much. And there aren’t a lot of answers.
But in a cry for help from the Lord, I feel he gave me this answer today:
I felt I should replace my child's name in the verses below and re-read it:
you knit her together in her mother’s womb.
I praise you because she is fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
Ariana’s frame was not hidden from you
when she was made in the secret place,
when she was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw her unformed body;
all the days ordained for her were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
Psalm139:13-16
Replacing her name is there touched me deeply. It helped me remember God does not make mistakes. His works are beautiful. Wonderful. And he has a plan beyond the struggles of today. Whether you struggle in a special or an ordinary way with your children, or others for that matter, this is a central truth to rally around.
How I Came Up With the Design
This cheery design contains every shade of the rainbow as a reflection of the infinite variations of our fearfully and wonderfully made population. The ink like splatter at the bottom gives the piece dynamic energy that provides a simple visual parallel to the creative work of God. In this case, people! We are all uniquely fearfully and wonderfully made.
