Ever wonder what would happen if God suddenly gave you the opportunity to share what is most important to you? This is what happened to our guest, Emily Norton, when a video about her and her husband (then fiance) went viral with millions of views.

"Quadriplegics do not simply walk again - yet millions watched as Chris Norton took ten nearly impossible steps. With his fiancée, Emily, supporting at his side, those unbelievable steps became the start of an extraordinary journey for them both." ~Amazon

Their story is one of incredible perseverance and following God in unexpected ways. Emily will infuse you with joy as she shares her very unique story of becoming a foster and adoptive mom.
