I got major goose bumps today!!

Many of you have read my post the other day about my daughter's learning challenges. Well today was a really difficult day. We start our day with math and reading because she really doesn't like those subject. Might as well get it out of the way right? After math class Haley had a compete breakdown. She told me she doesn't feel very smart and that school is just too difficult and it's just not fair that her sister has it so easy. So I proceeded to tell her that she was in fact a smart girl and that God gave her certain talents that Madalyn doesn't have. That nether one of them was smarter than the other. They were just talented in different areas/subjects. So we have this wonderful little talk but I still felt that I just wasn't getting through.
So where's the goose bumps? Well, a little while later we sat down on the couch to do our Beyond stuff together. I open the guide and go down to the Bible section(we're on unit 5). It tells me to read Psalm 138:13-14. Wow oh wow here is what it says.
"You made my whole being. You formed me in my mother's body. I praise you because you made me in an amazing and wonderful way. What you have done is wonderful. I know this very well."
Can you say amazing? Her face lit up. She totally got it. I quess it's one thing for mom to say it but when she heard God's word proclaiming it she was convinced. The tears were gone and she looked at me and said you know mom I really am okay just the way I am. I'm almost speechless! See the really amazing thing is that I kinda needed to hear this myself. Not that I think there's any wrong with her. It's just that this wasn't in my plans for her
. But it's like I told her God doesn't make mistakes. Ever! Thank you Lord for this lesson and this opportunity to be apart of this amazing and wonderful child you made. The extra good news is that we still have four more days on this verse. I can't believe I was just asking if HOD was the right choice for her. I quess God just proved that it will definetly supply all our needs 
. I hope this gives someone some encouragement today. God bless!!
