Sweet Little Nora

I don't know how many of you may have been following the story of little Nora Rose Yusko, a sweet little two year old with Trisomy 18, who recently passed away. If you haven't yet acquainted yourself with her and her amazing story (especially the miracle of her birth), you can start here. Her family viewed Nora's whole existence through the eyes of faith...and it was beautiful to behold.

Nora was a true example of God working through those the world deems little and weak, in order to show His power and love. In her short time on earth, Nora touched the lives of people around the world!

Eternal rest grant unto sweet little Nora Rose, O Lord, and let the perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through your mercy, O God, rest in peace. Amen.

So good seeing some of you at NCCL!

It was so good to meet the wonderful folks who came for the presentation at NCCL! 

I was so encouraged and excited about the wonderful ideas that people brought to our discussion together! I think that, as we go about preaching the Gospel, it is easy to feel so isolated. It's easy to feel like we're the only one doing what you're doing. But you're not! There are so many out there who care very deeply about those with special needs. I fills me with so much joy to see how committed people are to sharing the beauty of the Church!

I'm currently raising my young daughters, so my opportunity to be involved in active ministry are fewer and farther in between than they used to be. But this ministry is still very close to my heart. In meeting with all of you, I realized what I can contribute - another place for us all to come together and be encouraged in the midst of a somewhat challenging ministry. 

That being said...I would love to hear from those of you who are in active ministry right now! I'll be sharing with you stories from my own limited experience, as well as many resources for you as you do go about this ever important work. But how beautiful would it be to hear from others about the work they're doing and the experiences that they've had?? It would be like bringing the experience of the presentation at NCCL to you in your own home or office!!

So, all that being said, if you're interested in writing a guest post for this blog I would LOVE to have you! Click over to my contact info for more information. 

I hope to hear from you soon! And check back for more updates!!
