When you are the parent of a toddler, everything changes. I used to love reading a whole book in a weekend. Now I read three pages and am knocked out. I haven't had a haircut in half a year. A romantic moment is holding hands with my honey across a Pooh Bear blanket. My latest profound quote: "Don't put that in your mouth!!!"

A few years ago my husband Carlos and I had a little girl. She was born with Down Syndrome and had seizures for most of her first year of life. We spent hours in the hospital, tired and scared, always wondering if the next treatment would work. She began to heal after a women's Christmas dinner event where 300 women prayed for her. Since then, we've seen what a gift God gave us in Zoe. She delights in life, prays often and is a painter with some pretty amazing talent (if you want to see her art and story you can look at her website zoeheart.org).  Our faith is so strong now. We know on this earth there will be hard times. We know the answer. His name is Jesus.
