ABOUT ME

Hello Friends!

Well, God has given me quite the journey in life! I have so much to share with you! My journey with Christ began over two decades ago when I met Him in an abortion clinic. I was 18 years old, scared, and hopeless. I didn’t see any other option but an abortion. Jesus showed up that day and rescued me and saved my daughter’s life. From that day on, my life has forever been changed.

My daughter, Courteney, was born with multiple medical challenges and had significant disabilities her entire life. She required constant care and attention. Years later, I married my husband, Dan, and the Lord called us to adopt from El Salvador and bring into our home another child with disabilities.

There isn’t a whole lot easy about parenting two kids with disabilities and chronic illnesses, but let me say, it has been the greatest joy of my life. It has impacted every fiber of my being. It has made me wrestle with the Lord. It has made me weep at His feet in complete gratitude. It has made me throw my hands up and say, “I’m done,” when I have wanted to give up. It has made me question everything about life. It has made me see a whole world I never would have seen. It has made me find friends I never would have found. Most of all, it has made me seek and find Christ and come to know that He never loses control and His heart is always good. I want this for others too!

Whether disability is a part of your story or not, we all know what it’s like to face challenges, heartaches or sufferings…all the very things that usually make us question God.

Our final goodbye, this side of Heaven.

Often, it’s really just that our hearts long to know that we haven’t been forgotten or forsaken by God. It is my joy to declare that neither of those things are possible!

Recently, my sweet daughter, Courteney, went home to be with Jesus. Whew. The hope, the peace, and yet the complete sadness and brokenness that comes from losing a child, it’s hard to put into words. But, again, I have seen the goodness of the Lord, even in the smallest details surrounding her death. Even in the greatest pain I have ever faced, I can say His ways were and are perfect. We have been Invited In by Christ to seek Him and find Him. Let’s do this, together.

“Christine was the keynote speaker for our Global Access Community event focusing on teens and adolescents with disabilities. Christine was incredibly engaging and knowledgeable. She related to a large virtual crowd in such a way that attendees felt connected and heard. Christine blessed so many people that day; any group would be blessed to have her speak!“
