Join Karaleigh in an absolutely inspired interview with Colleen Keefe Faul.

Colleen is the author of “God's Precious Gift: A Special Needs Child.” At 6 months old, Colleen’s daughter, Grace, was diagnosed with Infantile Spasms and Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. Her daughter’s diagnosis pulled Colleen deeper into her faith, where she found consolation in the form of creativity. She was inspired to write a faith-based children's book for the special needs community that was as much for the parents as it was for the children. Her mission is to help members of the special needs community, their loved ones, and their caretakers find peace in God's will.

1. God knows what you can handle, so He will give you something that is gonna affect you enough to be able to turn to Him.

2. If I didn’t have faith to fall back on in this particular time I really don’t know where I would have gone to.

3. God was there with me and because of that I had the insight to see all the little ways that He was consoling me every step of the way, all the little ways that He was stepping in to let me know that you’re not by yourself, I’m here, I’m with you, I’m suffering through this with you because she’s my child too.

4. There are miracles that lie ahead that do not make any medical sense. And they will blow you away.

5. It’s gonna be through you that other people are able to see the glory of God in your story.

6. Just trust in God. You’re guaranteed to suffer in this life, but what is also promised is God’s faithfulness to you. You can choose to cling to Him or not, but He’s there regardless.

7. You can’t help but love somebody when you hear their story.
