Do you ever feel like quitting? Do you ever just feel like walking out? I do. There have been many days I just feel like I can’t do this anymore (motherhood). I can’t quit, and I can’t walk out, I am a mom!
I’m an autism mom raising two autistic boys, and it’snot easy. Motherhood is not easy with autism children or not. There are days when I cry, there are days when I don’t think I can do it and there are days when I wonder “will I survive”? I question myself often, am I doing the right thing, am I raising them right? Motherhood is all about the good, the bad, the happy, and the sad. I chose motherhood, autism chose me. As long as at the end of the day I can say I did my best, and I gave it my all, then all is good.
I’m not walking out, and I’m not quitting. I may not have sick days, I may not have vacation days, and no pay is involved but what I do get is unconditional love from my sweet kids. I am their rock. I am there for them, and they trust me. I may have my”off” days and feel like giving up, but my kids know that I am here every day, seven days a week for them. When I became a mother, I made a commitment regardless of how tough my days can get I will never quit nor walkout.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, Ihave kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7
Paul the Apostle is nearing the end of his life. He is contemplating the things God had called him to accomplish. This is his swansong. I am immediately impressed with the confidence with which he is able to say “I finished.” It’s been said that “a wasted life is really nothing more than a collection of wasted days. As God gives us life, each one of us starts the new year with the same number of opportunities—365—that we can choose to either use and invest in eternal things or allow to drift by without taking advantage of the gift we have been given.” I was walking through a cemetery after afuneral service and my eye caught a headstone that read “a life stillunfinished.” We would naturally say thatabout anyone that had passed from this world at a young age, but this wassomeone who passed at 78! I don’t wantto come to the end and think of all the things I should have done or the ways Ishould have stepped out in faith. Paulcalls life a “race.” My favorite racesin the Olympics are the sprints. Theseraces are literally over in seconds, but I am always impressed with the amazingspeed of the athletes. The race referredto by Paul is likened to a “long distance” run. A long distance run takes faith, endurance, and focus. Jesus “for the joy that was set before Himendured the cross, despising the shame.” (Hebrews 12:2). God calls us to focus and invest in thingsthat matter so that we might finish well.
Calvary Chapel Eastvale Meets Wednesdays at 7pm and Sundays at 8:30 and10:30 am at Clara Barton Elementary 7437Corona Valley Ave, Eastvale.
For those of you who know Eastvale’s history, you’re pretty
knowledgeable about how abundant the ground grows green grass and fresh
vegetables. Our history tells us how. Our land is very fertile.
Sunshine Growers, which currently has locations in Ontario
and Corona, will soon be opening in the City of Eastvale. So now is a good time
to grow your goods in a fertile environment, ridding yourself of the pesticides
and the high cost of organic greens. But Sunshine Growers doesn’t stop there.
They offer a variety of plants and outdoor supplies to spruce up your backyards
and gardens.
The City of Eastvale is also on board as the Eastvale
Planning Commission approved the development of a new 20,000-square-foot
greenhouse and retail store for a new plant nursery at Sunshine Grower’s new
location on Riverside Drive, east of Hamner Avenue in Eastvale.
“We are thrilled that Sunshine Growers has chosen to expand
their business in our young and growing community,” said Mayor Clint Lorimore.
“I am certain that our community will benefit from the variety of plant options
that Sunshine Growers will provide, and I look forward to seeing how Eastvale
homeowners will beautify their landscaping following the opening of this new
business.”
This locally-based, family-owned business will be moving
from Ontario, bringing jobs and approximately $4-million in taxable retail
sales to Eastvale. Sunshine Growers is a family of wholesale and retail
nurseries that sell quality plant material to the community and to landscape
contractors. When they open, Sunshine Growers will be the only full-service
plant nursery in Eastvale, providing a great local option for the community to
continue to enhance landscaping around their homes.
“We grow a variety of Plants, Groundcover, and color so we
can have a big advantage over the retail nurseries and chain stores,” said
Russell Lepper, Spokesperson for the chain.
To find out more please sign onto www.sunshinegrowersnursery.com
or visit them on Riverside Drive east of Hamner Avenue. Or you can call their
Corona store at 951.736.6000, Ontario store at 919.923.7277, or their Yucaipa
store at 909.797.9270.
Eastvale – The results are in and the three seats up for election
are filled. For City Council there were 3 districts up for election: District
1, 3, and 4. In District 1 the current council representative is Todd Rigby. He
was unchallenged by the deadline last month so he will retain his seat. So Todd
Rigby will continue to represent District 1.
In District 3, Howard Feng, and Chris Hook could not beat incumbent
Councilman Clint Lorimore. So Clint Lorimore will continue to represent
District 3. In the final District, 4, Bart Moreno lost to Jocelyn Yow. Yow will
represent District 4.
For the Corona-Norco Unified School District, only one seat
affected the City of Eastvale. There was one candidate trying to upseat
incumbent Bill Newberry, and she was successful. The challenger and new board
member is Elizabeth “Lisa” Marroquin.
Bill Newberry received 45.9% of the votes with 3,342 votes, and
winner Marroquin has 54.04% of the votes with 3,930 votes.
In District 3 winner Clint Lorimore recieved 54.15% at 717 votes,
Howard Feng was at 32.40% with 429 votes, and Chris Hook has 13.44% with 178
votes.
District 4 showed winner Jocelyn Yow at 69.16% of the vote with
1139 votes, and Bart Moreno yielded 30.84% at 508 votes.
These counts are as of Nov 9 from the Riverside County Registrar’s
office and do not include any provisional votes, which were not enough to
change the outcome. For more information please sign onto: www.voteinfo.net.
A little history on the decision to divide the City of Eastvale
into districts: The City Council previously took action at the April 27, 2016
City Council meeting to initiate the process of converting to by-district
voting beginning with the November, 2016 election. The Council approved
Resolution No. 16- 09 initiating the by-district process. So instead of their
traditional “at large” option of voting, this resulted in a few positive
changes to the city:
1. The city will have representation by all parts of the city. So
as the city was cut up into 5 areas, there can only be a candidate who lives in
those district areas that are up for election.
2. The marketing costs will be more affordable. So if a “rich”
candidate, or someone who has the ability to raise more money than the others,
dominated past elections they can no longer do so. It levels out the political
playing field financially.
What has also changed is the election cycle. State law now
requires all elections to be held in November, with the exception of Primary
elections, which are historically held in June. This has been a great cost
saver to cities who ran their elections outside of the county election cycles.
Now cities who paid for elections in odd months can now streamline their costs.

to ensure classrooms and facilities are secure, meet current safety standards
and address the issue of overcrowding. “

VantagePoint Church breaks ground on their new 10 acre church home in the city of Eastvale
Staff Reports
Eastvale – Founded in 2008, VantagePoint Church has grown from a handful of families to become the largest church in Eastvale, currently averaging over 1800 men women and children in 4 services each Sunday. For nine of those years, they’ve been a portable church, meeting at Roosevelt High School. It has always been the church’s dream to build a permanent home in Eastvale to better serve their surrounding communities.
On Sunday, September 30, 2018, VantagePoint Church’s dream took one step closer to fulfillment as they celebrated their official groundbreaking at their new church home, 8500 Archibald Ave, Eastvale, CA 92880.
Over 2000 people gathered on the 10 acre property to dedicate the land to God and to the vision He has for their property. Gathered with the people of VantagePoint Church were several members of the Eastvale City Council, including Mayor Clint Lorimore and Mayor Pro Tem Todd Rigby.
Construction of the church facility has begun and will continue through October of 2019, when the new campus of VantagePoint Church Eastvale will open its doors to the community.

Eastvale –The “Ranch’ in Eastvale has began their building phases as the roads are finished and the connections are being made to other parts of the city. The Ranch is located on the corner of Hellman and Kimball, formerly a dead end and stop sign.
The roads that lead to the Ranch have opened up more access to Eastvale as Kimball Ave now curves and turns into Limonite, and Hellman now turns into Vineyard Ave. The roads are built but not open for traffic as of yet.There are several parcels that are being built on with different uses.
“There’s a robust ready-to-spend retail market in and around the Ranch at Eastvale,” boasts their brochures. “These are householders who will appreciate the convenience of shopping near home, and will become a loyal sustainable source of customers.”
The Ranch will be 160,000 square feet of total development space on 11 acres with potential to add and an additional 5 acres to the mix. There are four street frontages, a master-planned business park with a projected 400-500 employees depending upon the tenancy of the first six buildings in phase I, and a committed property owner who is soliciting a mix of food uses, service businesses, entertainment venue and an appropriately sized grocery store.
As retail being a huge factor for the city the Ranch is looking for businesses to occupy the center. There’s a huge sign soliciting businesses such as: Bakery, Coffee Shop, Dance Studio, Dentist, Dry Cleaner, Florist, Gym/Cross-fit, Juice Store, Martial Arts Studio, Micro Brewery/Pub, Nail Salon, Optometrist, Pizza Parlor, Sandwich Shop/Deli, Tutoring/College Prep, Veterinarian, and Yoga/Pilates Studio.

Our country is more divided than it’s been since the Civil War. With politics creeping into every facet of our lives, from sports to movies to even the church, America is a divided nation. I’m a problem-solver. I always seek to understand so I can find solutions. My thoughts go to an important verse in the Bible. First Corinthians 1:10 powerfully says, “I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose.”
For human beings, this is often very challenging. However, the Word of God gives us this instruction because (1) it’s what God wants for us, (2) we need to hear it, and (3) by the working of the Holy Spirit in our lives, IT IS POSSIBLE! God would never ask us to do something that we could not accomplish. But God DID instruct us to live this way so it IS something we can do.
We must allow the Holy Spirit to work in our hearts to humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God (1 Peter 5:6), to forgive each other, and to bring us into true unity, as God wants for His church to be. Ephesians 4:32 says, “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” Imagine if we lived that!
I believe the church is to be the answer, or rather, to be an example of the answer to the world. Jesus did tell us, after all, to be “salt and light.” (Matthew 5:13-16). We must each choose this. I am choosing this. Will you choose this with me?

“Nobody feels sorry for you!”, that is an actual statement I say to myself almost as a daily declaration. It is a way to motivate myself to live life on a grander scale, and when I feel overwhelmed and frustrated to realize, “Hey, man of faith! Yes you, the one who made a conscience decision to spend the rest of your days walking by faith and not by sight! Are you really going to sit here and feel sorry for yourself” Trust me, it’s much easier said than done, especially when you find more and more people have found a way to experience both the spoils of their selfish ambitions and sanctity of their Christians beliefs. I will venture to say when difficult times comes to those people (and it comes to everyone) their true understanding of God truly shows and it becomes a testimony or lack of. One of Jesus’ greatest traits is his compassion for people, and what we are starting to see more of, is that people seem to confuse compassion for pity. When I hear people speak to me on what they are believing God for, or how they believe God see’s their situation; it shows that there is a level of thought that God would change their situation “just cause” or “God wouldn’t let that happen to me” attitude. Could it be that God feels sorry for us? Your walk with God should be that, a walk, a continual progression through life. If we are always focused on our self, then when problems come we could look to God like a superhero that would change everything without anything from us. Not saying he needs us to help in any way, but God does want us to walk through our freedom and healing, because he doesn’t feel sorry for us but because he has compassion for us.
For example, Jesus went to a blind man from birth, took mud in his hands spit in it and rubbed it in the man’s eyes, then told him to find a certain body of water and wash his own face off. If God had pity for him there wouldn’t be an encouraging course of action that is connected to his faith. Christ didn’t make it simple for him, he can’t see, getting around his town would be tasking. How then is he to get up, find Bethesda, and wash his face, with mud and spit dripping from his eyes. Its sounds insensitive but Gods healing is always manifested more through the strong and not the ones who see themselves as the victim. That’s not just one time, we hear it after a lot of Jesus’ miracles, “Take up your bed and walk!”, “Remove those death Clothes!”, “Go home to your daughter, and do not fear!” We hear it frequently, through the scriptures and we can see that the Lord not only asks us to do tough things, but through those moments is where we find the power behind Christs love. His overwhelming, never ending, tough love of God. (see what I did there?) Instead of merely feeling sorry for us, Jesus moves us into action. He uses these moments to get our minds off of our self and our problems, and he motivates us to do something about it. I know it sounds like I’m being tough, but they are a lot of people who waste so much time staying in their woes waiting for God to finally feel sorry for them, when in reality “tough love” is what Jesus often used to set people free.
What is patience? According to Google it’s “the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset.”
Growing up my patience was short, in fact, I was known as a kid without patience. As I got older that changed. When I had my two autism boys it really changed. Some people tell me I am the most patient person they know. I take this as a compliment.
Having children, especially children that are on the spectrum requires, I think, more patience than I actually have. But, I do try.
The main objective is to stay calm in the face of adversity, take deep breaths and remind yourself, you can get through this moment. My eleven year old can get so focused on something, have a breakdown, and create havoc. At that moment I must stay calm, have the patience within myself to calm him down and bring him out of the self-world he creates.
Many times he does not remember his behavior or words during this time. If I raise my voice, lose control it just escalates the situation. Many times I may silently cry but I do my best to exhibit patience.
My eight year old will have a meltdown and just cry and cry. He cannot communicate why he’s crying, or explain the meltdown, so again I have to remind myself to stay calm and hold on to my patience. It’s not easy and I will be honest, I do lose control at times and raise my voice, which I have learned makes things so much worse. The frustration for a mother not being able to help and just stand by while your child is hurting can be overwhelming.
Patience is not something that comes naturally to anyone. Patience is something one must learn and practice daily. Patience is a virtue.
We have it within ourselves to practice patience and calmness in a situation that may call for it. Patience is critical to diffusing a situation that could get worse without patience. Keep the soul calm, practice patience, be at peace, and love yourself. You don’t have control of people’s behavior, but you do have control over yours. Practicing Patience is a must in parenting especially in the autism world.
