As the mother of a 16 year old autistic child, I can say that I've already jumped through all of the hoops you have to go through just to get the slightest bit of help for your child! LOL! My daughter and I have attended the Getaway in KY several time and we really enjoy it! So even though I fully appreciate your article, the type of support do I need now is Spiritual support! I'm just wondering if Special Touch has ever considered having a retreat geared toward those of us who are full-time caregivers? Although I truly enjoy the time I spend with my daughter at the summer Getaways, having a spiritual retreat to go to where I don't have to have my undivided attention on her during the service would go a long way toward helping me to guide her spiritually during the rest of the year when she's not at the Getaway. Thanks for listening! :c) Donna Hello Heidi :c)

Two years ago a couple of monthly guest asked me to start a choir. At the time I refused. Two weeks ago I was in prayer and the Lord spoke to my heart and said "I want you to start that choir." I replied to him "if you are really wanting me to do this if it is you I am hearing from I need confirmation." Wow what happened next is awsome. I left for a trip to Minnesota to attend a music conference and was sitting down visiting with some friends, and they had no idea about the conversation I had with the Lord prior to coming to Minnesota, the husband said that " God had told him to tell me that You need to start a choir when you go home with your specialtouch chapter." I was so caught off guard I almost fell off my chair! Starting in September "His Heart" wil begin working on music. He is supplying everything, I was in a discount store in my town about a week ago, and I could hardly believe my eyes, laying on the shelf was a complete elementary christian music curriculum for $5.00. This curriculuim consist of the accompaniment cd's with and without vocals, the leader's guide, a vhs tape, and the music book with all the words, and a cassette tape. We have about 15 people who want to be in the choir. It is so exciting to see God moving. Please pray for this new venture, I have never led a group in music befor.
