I am Jennifer

I am Jennifer.
I am 24 years old.
I have special needs.
I have rights too like others.
But I don't see my special needs being met.
I feel invisible. I go to church on wednesdays and don't learn anything because i have trouble with learning But feel pastor doesn't understand. I wish he would understand. It makes me want to cry because i am not understood that i don't learn like they do. I wish age didn't matter. Why should i have to suffer? It is not fair. But fair is not what this is. I want to scream because there is people that won't teach you at the level you are at. Why do i go to church? I ask myself that one and it is because i want to learn about God. But how can i learn about god when no one will teach me at my level. I have accepted christ into my heart October 22, 2000. I was Baptized on November 26,2000. Does That help anyone to know that, i hope so. At Our Church what we need is a special needs seminar so people can be more aware what special needs mean. Do i need something like a iep wrote up so i can get my needs met? What do i need done? Please help i am desperate. I am pleading with my heart for help. please do something and not sit back  and do nothing. At church on wednesdays i am not learning which is not good.

    Have you tried going to different churches. Not everyone understands, most don't, but there is someone out there that will help you learn about God the way you need to be taught, not the way they want to teach it. It just may take a little time and effort to find them. Good Luck.
