Faith, Pandemic and.... Additional Needs

As someone whose faith is vitally important to me now, as it has been all my life, I’ve found myself asking loads of hard questions as I’ve seen so much struggle and suffering this year, including among the families with children with additional needs that I know.

Faith, Pandemic and... Mental Health

Faith, Pandemic and.... Being Deaf

When I woke up from the surgery that took my hearing, God reassured me that, in possibly the darkest time of my life, He was still with me.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:5
