Bible Encouragement for Special Needs Moms
December 5, 2022 • 9 minutes
Episode 1—God Chose You
Sometimes we wonder if we’re right for the task of mothering our child with special needs. Today’s Bible encouragement reveals that God knows the heart of every person and appoints them to specific purposes. That means God chose you to be your child’s mom and He has provided everything you need for the job.
About your Host—Annie Yorty
Wife, mother, writer, and speaker, Annie encourages those living through difficult situations to perceive God. Embracing the task of advocacy after the birth of her first child, who has Down syndrome, Annie has led both disability and homeschool organizations for over thirty years to promote understanding and acceptance for individuals with intellectual disabilities. In particular, she loves to connect with other ordinary moms of extraordinary kids.
Annie and her high school sweetheart/Air Force veteran husband, Jeff, have two grown children and one still in process. (Isn’t everyone, really?) Despite significant challenges, her favorite global mission destination is Siberia in February, but she’ll go anywhere God opens the door. She delights in anything crafty or creative except sewing, which she merely tolerates. Annie wishes she had more time to read, learn the piano, crochet, and practice Russian. Her furry beast (aka labradoodle) would like her to spend more time teaching him new tricks.
