One of our sons struggled to read. The letters danced across his pages, do-si-doing into mirror images of themselves. I discussed his problem with teachers, doctors, social workers and administrators. But not God.
I prefer this verse in the king’s English:
2 Timothy 1:7 (KJB)
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear;
but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
A sound mind. The phrase doesn’t require a diagnosis and an Individualized Education Program. Doesn’t have to wait for an appointment.
If I had it to do over again, I’d start out with God, asking him to bless my boy with a sound mind. 
I’m afraid I was surfing while they were passing those out…but on the other hand, when you’re test-driving a new car, aren’t you SUPPOSED to see how well it slides through a handbrake turn?
You eventually grew into your sound mind. Just took some time.
Wonderful post, Lee. I love that verse (and I prefer this version too). I’m praying for the students in my life. God is able.

It would be wonderful if every student was in someone’s prayers. The students in your life are blessed, Wendy.
