Jodel: A Christian Mother's Journey Raising a Child with Disabilities

After the Lord blessed us with three healthy little boys, me and my husband, expected that our fourth child would be healthy. I had prayed for a little girl and was excited when God finally gave me my heart’s desire.

However, after meeting with my doctor, my excitement quickly turned to heartache. I was so devastated, I began to cry while my husband stood by my hospital bed looking so sad.

The news the doctor gave us completely changed our world.

He diagnosed our newborn daughter with Down Syndrome. This was something that no one in our family or church community had experienced before.

If you are a mother of a child with disabilities, I hope this book will help serve as a guide and a reminder that you are not alone. In this book, I highlight the specific struggles I faced and share inspiration from mothers in the Bible, specially selected Bible passages and prayers to help you emerge victoriously.
