I Believe...

When I experienced the slow deterioration in my child’s health, I felt so alone. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with my son exactly, or the cause of his sensory reactive issues. But I knew the chaos inside of him was spilling into every area of our lives from the minute he woke up until the time he finally, finally fell asleep. I was constantly worried, anxious, stressed out, and inwardly grieving over his reactive sensory life. Where had my happy boy gone, I wondered? I watched his pain and just cringed. Most days, I wanted to crawl into a corner and hide, wishing someone else could take over parenting.

Eventually, I figured out that the cause of my "differently wired", overly reactive kid was directly related to a vaccine injury. Just 19 days after a slew of vaccines, including the MMRV, he was hospitalized at age one. The doctors said his low blood platelets were a result of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (a decrease in blood platelets leading to easy bruising with no known cause) or leukemia (a cancer of the blood marrow). After immediate emergency treatment, we were released from the hospital, but our lives became anything but normal.

The gradual decline in behavior and haywire sensory issues dominated my son and our family life. I loved my little one deeply—exactly as he was. Yet I knew that, between the ages of one and two, something had changed within him—in his personality, behavior, and health. I would have done anything to help him feel better and restore his sunny demeanor. In fact, I searched far and wide to minimize the strife and disorder inside him, which also seeped into my home and marriage.

When he was around three, I found a list of autism symptoms and took that dreadful thought to my husband. He immediately shut it down and literally said, "He doesn't have autism, and we're not going to mention that word again." Yet I struggled to find something to help me manage his behaviors and felt that if I could just put my finger on it, I could breathe. I was devastated and felt like I was drowning under the demanding needs of my child and my low capacity to manage my own emotions, day-to-day life, and other responsibilities. Few people knew the pain I carried as I kept up pretenses and determined not to let on to the daily struggles we faced.

Finally, I located a label that fit my child's symptoms: Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). Agitation and screaming, untamable tantrums and high levels of irritation over little things, changes in diet, a need for risky physical activity, and a constant rush for movement and motion caused him to live in a world of abnormal energy and pain. On top of that, he had chronic stomachaches and digestive issues. I had tried everything: changed the diet, incorporated different medications or supplements, and consulted multiple health professionals. I rearranged my house, my schedule, and my life to accommodate this SPD "thing" that just had to be dealt with. It boggled my mind and rended my heart. But I didn’t just want a temporary fix for my "SPD kid" to cope. Compression shirts, weighted blankets, boxes stuffed with pillows and blankets, spinning contraptions, dark tents with stretchy tunnels, supplements, and CBD oil were not the answer I was looking for. The root of his illness went much deeper, and labels don't heal. I wore my fears for my child on my sleeve every day. What I truly wanted was total restoration of health for my son.

I wondered if there was anyone out there who would truly understand what I was going through and not just give me the big, hairy eyeball with that glare of unspoken judgment. If you’ve got a sensory reactive kid, you know exactly what I'm talking about—the look that silently says: "You're a bad parent, and your kid is unruly. Get it together!"

Years into our battle, I learned that there was a much bigger issue, one that was trying to take over who my son was designed to be from the beginning of time. John 10:10 says, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I [Jesus] have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

Through revelation teaching from the Word, I learned that it was NOT God’s plan for my son to stay sick, nor was it His doing! After hearing a radical new message (called Truth!), my husband and I grasped onto faith that my son and our life didn’t have to remain the way they were: under chronic stress, vexation, discord, affliction, disorder, and sickness. The really crazy thing is, it was already done. 1 Peter 2:24 says, “By [Jesus’] stripes you were healed.”

In January of 2019, my (then) 4-year-old son was completely and radically healed! But what I want you to know is that I don't believe that this miracle from God was a fluke thing that just happened for us.

My deepest desire as a Leader, Coach, and Mentor to other women and parents is to be a lifeline in the overwhelm, no matter what you're dealing with or the name of the illness. I don't want to merely teach you how to cope or manage sickness. I want to show you that you can have HOPE for a different reality! Most of what I have to share with you isn't practical at all. In fact, it's super-natural. I wholeheartedly believe that YOU or YOUR child can also be completely, 100% healed and restored to original design. God is just that good! He wants us all healthy, healed, and whole. It IS God’s will in this lifetime! You don't have to beg Him for healing. You don't have to question God as to whether or not He wants to heal.

Friend, you won't find religion here. You'll only find faith in Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and Divine Truth. My pursuit of revelation, mentorship, personal coaching, mind renewal, inner heart healing, and implementation of new principles became more than just my breakthrough. All of these combined, along with an intimate relationship with the Lord and hearing directly from Him for my own life, became my invitation to walk in power and purpose! Allow me help you step into the realm of possibility. Take a walk with me. I'm here to be a guide, a support, an encourager, a cheerleader, and a faith-builder! Let's journey through the scriptures together and see what the Lord, through the Bible, His very Word, has to share with you for such a time as this.
