Sometimes our child’s diagnosis is clear cut and defined. Other times the disability is hidden, and we are judged by others. In this episode, Amy Brown reminds us it’s okay to say we don’t know, stop striving, and give ourselves grace. She reminds us that God cares for us, loves us and our children.
