I have some news for ya...you might need to sit down.

I love, love, love my job.  My profession of speech-language pathology is  amazing.  I look forward to going to work E-V-E-R-Y day.

One part of my job is to help families cope.  For some parents, it is understanding the  basics of the child's diagnosis.  Sometimes, I feel like I have to start prepping the hearts of the parents.  To get them ready for what I know they will face in the upcoming days, months, and years.

It is not a task I take lightly. My words have to be carefully chosen. I could say something that gives hope or causes despair.  I may be the recipient of a hurting parent who is struggling with the diagnosis of their child.  It is heavy.  It is sad. It is heartfelt.  I feel so honored to be a part.

But I know that God never makes mistakes when He creates babies.  God pointed me into speech-langauge pathology as a profession.  He uses me to help families.  So honored.
