Modern Day Miracles: Raising a Child with Autism with Jan Strickland
After receiving the diagnosis that her son, Jey, was autistic, Jan never gave up praying that she would one day hear her son speak. After years of consistent and desperate prayer, Jan and her husband experienced a modern day miracle when Jey spoke his first full sentence at 4 1/2 years old. You will be encouraged by this touching story of a mother’s faithfulness to pray until the Light broke through!
Below are some of our favorite takeaways from today’s show:
️ God has an interesting way of preparing us for what is to come. He gives us confirmations that allow us to prepare our hearts and minds for the future.
️ Comparison is a trap that every new mom must overcome, regardless of developmental delays.
️ God places friendships in our lives to give us the courage to seek help/diagnosis when the time is right.
️ When we pray without ceasing for our children, we can have the confidence that God hears our prayers.
️ We can be a blessing to others who are walking a similar path as us and shine the light that God has given us. That is what community is all about!
