Guest Post on The Inclusive Church Blog {5 Things I Learned...}

Last week I was asked by Amy Fenton Lee, founder of The Inclusive Church, to guest post on her blog.

(Just so you know - Amy does a fantastic job providing information and resources for special needs inclusion.  Check out this post "The Premise of The Inclusive Church Blog" for more information.)

My initial response: no way.  

Not because I wasn’t thrilled at the idea of writing for Amy.  Because I was.

But I haven’t written anything “formal” since my high school paper.  And that was a couple few years ago.

However I realized I'd be closing the door on an opportunity to contribute--in a very small way--to Disabilities/Inclusion Awareness.

So instead I said:  absolutely.

I need to be completely upfront.

Totally transparent.   

Brutally honest.

I have no idea what I'm doing.

I’m not qualified to write...especially on this topic.

I don't have an education and/or background in special needs and I had absolutely no experience in ministry prior to the last six months or so.

What I can share is my heart for these precious children and their families.

But that's all I've got.
