 | Enzo's Life Journey | May 22, 2009 |
Lorenzo Miguel Medina is a 10 year old boy diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specifed (PDD-NOS). It is one of the disorders under Autism Spectrum Disorder. This site chronicles his life journey with PDD-NOS and how our family cope with the disorder. We have decided that we will live a fullfilled life with or without PDD-NOS. In everything, we give thanks to God.
We pray and hope for a world that will be more accepting to people with disabilities for they too are son's and daughters of God. Let us see their goodness and capabilities rather than their disabilities.

- While it might be difficult to see the goodness of God in times of great tragedy, if we really look into our hearts, God's goodness is present. His goodness flow through our hearts and if we allow ourselves to be moved by His love, we can give and love far beyond we expect possible. We see the spirit of Christmas in everyone who has supported, donated and offerred prayers to the victims of typhoon Sendong in our beloved CDO and Iligan cities. We continue to pray that no one may spare any simple effort to help and pray for the victims. Give Jesus a place in our hearts! Have a meaningful Christmas to all!
