God Did It!

This weekend we were really struggling with Carson having control over his anger and himself in general. He was being particularly defiant on Sunday as we were going to brunch. I have tried to be conscious to stop and pray with him when I am losing my own patience or simply do not have the words to calm him.

On this particular occasion, I had already prayed with him once and as we were getting out of the car to go in, I heard Troy praying with Carson too. When we went in, Carson did amazingly well. No outbursts or remarkably defiant behavior. Praise the LORD.

When we got to the car, I praised Carson for his good behavior. Carson said to me, "I didn't do it, God did it". Carson said this without any prompting from us. He recognized the work of the Holy Spirit in his own heart and mind to calm him. We were so happy that God had revealed Himself to Carson and that Carson had responded.

What an awesome breakthrough. We are to meet with Carson's pediatrician today to discuss his present issues in school with attention and behavior at home. As I have said before, Carson's doctor is a wonderful Christian woman so we are certain that she will be prayerful in her response to Carson's needs. Please pray that God's wisdom be discerned in Carson's plan and that we feel His presence in this meeting. That He might be glorified in this whole situation.
