Summary: From the show: For me (Ellen), dealing with my daughter's diagnosis of Down syndrome was a period of time where I struggled in my Faith. My constant question to God during those first few weeks was, "Why?!" Erin and I discuss the good that has come from our lives. We have more empathy and are more compassionate. We are able to minister to others. We've grown in our faith. We are different people as God has used this journey to refine us. We know God in a different way. We have become strong advocates helping not just our kids but others too. We've learned more about friendship. We've learned to ask for help. How we have dealt with disappointment and challenges: Keep going through the motions. Holding on to the fact that God's goodness is not dependent on our circumstances. Breath prayers. Inviting people to pray for us. Worship. Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh the joys of those who take refuge in Him! Psalm 34:8 We do not need refuge when things are going well and life is easy. we take refuge when the storms of life threaten to overtake us, and it is in these times that we can taste and see that the Lord is good.
