Disability is a subject which is confounding and difficult to reconcile. If you live with a disability you often think why did God allow this in my life. If you have children with disabilities, it can be even more gut-wrenching trying to safeguard your child and at the same time trying to make sense of it all. Each circumstance comes with its distinct challenge, and neither is easier than the other, yet no matter what the situation is there are things you can do to lighten the load you might be carrying. Today’s guests Mary and Krista Horning will be talking about God’s Good Design in Suffering. Mary shared her story about Krista’s life and her struggle with her disability. Three days after birth, Mary and her husband found out that Krista was born with a rare genetic disorder called Apert Syndrome. The defect is mostly in the skull, hands and feet, yet it was difficult to deal with all the ups and downs of caring for a child with a disability. As a young child, Krista always knew she had a disability, and as she was getting older, she realized that she was different. Krista commented, “I didn’t really have any friends in school. I wondered why God made me this way. Why did I have to be different.” Distraught and confused, Mary shares she cried out to God for wisdom and He, as He does, sent help from Heaven. Mary realized that as God was stretching Krista, He was creating a new spirit in her too. She embraced the challenges presented by Krista’s disability learning to talk to Krista about her disability in order to loving walk her through her life. “God was entering our hearts and He was feeding us.”
