Wow! I'm so excited!

Good evening everyone!  This is day one of the 1600 calorie a day diet.  No fads, no craziness; just balanced nutrition, cutting what we eat and exercising.  We eat well, just way too much!  :)  Chris and I were suprisingly satisfied. 

If you know me and know me well; food is almost as important to me as Autism and Advocacy.  Give me a bourdeaux, stilton or maytag blue, a baquette.....  Oh, yeah.  I digress

As far as the last post, it should be a lesson when to post and when not to post.  When you are super tired and can't make sense; grammatically or otherwise; don't write.  I decided to leave the post as is.  Everyone makes mistakes and needs to laugh at their foibles.  His Grace is sufficient.

NOW, to the real reason I'm writing tonight.  I wanted all of you to know that I will be part of the Houston Focus Group for the Texas Autism Research and Resource Center Website.
It will design a new website with the best information available about autism and similar disabilities. In 2009, the 81st Texas Legislature directed that a statewide resource center for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) be created to assist Texans. Once fully operational, Texas’ center will help individuals with ASD, families, and professionals by coordinating resources, offering training, and providing information on ASD, available services, research, and other topics of interest.
 
This has long been an intrest of mine.  I've had a burning desire within my heart to do something with Autism, Advocacy, Natural Health/Supplements, GFCF diet and baking, ARD/IEP process and assisting other parents when they recieve the diagnosis.  This is a step in the right direction.  I"m not sure where it's leading, but I know it's a step, a gift that GOD has made clear to me I'm to be going.  
 
There are only 11 people in the Houston Group (there will be about 6 or 7 across the state).  I know one of the people going through my network of people I know.  She is the head of FEAT (Families for Effective Autism Treatment).  If she is there and I am; I"m honored and a little daunted.
 
Please stay in prayer with me for thankfulness, his grace and patience and above all that I keep HIM in the place HE should be.  Not making this my "next thing" to usurp HIS place.  Been there, done that and have WAY too many tshirts.
 
But, I"m excited.  I really am.  I believe this is the start of something really great and very important for me.  Let me go with God's grace.
 
By love and blessing to all of you.  Have a great night.
