I’m Karen Hall, Host of The Hero Within Podcast.

Today we hear from my good friend, Becky Belnap in Part 2.  If you haven't heard Part 1 of Mitochondrial Miracles  yet, click here and make sure to listen as Becky shares more about herself and her trials.

Becky married Newell Belnap and two of their 4 children have a rare mitochondrial disease, a genetic disorder called Leigh's Syndrome.  It is so rare that only 30 kids in the nation have this disease, and despite the debilitating effects, Becky exhibits her grateful attitude and says her children "hit the jackpot" on their genetic mutation. 

Becky describes the miracle being on a medical odyssey and being blessed to find the right doctors to have the genetic disorder correctly diagnosed and to get the help they needed.  She earned a degree in Public Health and now works for the Nexus Coalition for Drug Prevention teaching in schools.Today, you will learn:   

*How Becky turned to the Lord in her adversity and He inspired her to use tools to help her cope day to day.

*Becky feels that exercise is the most under-utilized anti-depressant there is.

*Addictions are formed when seeking relief when the pain is excruciating in response to things feeling out of control.   

*
We all have Adverse Childhood Events ACEs and we need to offer ourselves and others grace.
 

*
The Lord heals all wounds.

*
How Becky continues to cope with the tools the Spirit inspired her to use including exercise, building a support system with friends, gratitude, music, prayer, and worship.

*How the Lord has blessed Becky with hope and gratitude. 

*Developing a relationship with the Lord takes effort over time.

*It also takes effort, courage and persistence to find the help we need.  Keep trying!

*We are bonded in our adversity club.
Have you felt the Lord strengthen you in your adversity?  What has helped you deal with your trials?  I'd love to hear about it!

Wishing you lots of love on your own hero’s journey,
xoxo, Karen
