E7 In the Town of Microcephaly

We’re back! Goodness me, moving twelve people and their fur animals and 19 plus years of stuff was a lot of work. Add on sending two of those people to another country for a couple of weeks…phew!

But we’re moved and I’m working on this blog post at our temporary house sitting on the pool deck and watching the kids play! We are blessed to be able to stay at a great place while we wait for the “next thing.”

It’s nice to be back and FINALLY sharing Nikole’s story of her beautiful daughter, Halle. Nikole and Brad have four children, Hannah, Harrison, Hayden and Halle. Listen in as Nikole shares what she has learned in the land of Holland with their youngest daughter. Halle was born with microcephaly and microphalmia. Nikole and I hit all the points about juggling siblings, marriage, and putting Christ as priority even when things are hard. She challenged me to remember that our babies…all of our babies…are precious gifts from God!

Mentioned on the Show

  • Microcephaly
  • Peter’s Anomaly-This is the eye condition that Halle is dealing with in her left eye.
  • Hip Dysplasia-Thankfully, Halle’s days of cast wearing is behind her and she happily runs and plays like most five year olds!
  • Littlest Warrior-I can not say enough good things about their advocacy and awareness apparel. Fun and supportive of all of our kiddos!
  • Seeds Family Worship-God’s Word to song is such a great way to memorize and Seeds does it right. The music is worshipful and the words are always memorable and relevant!
  • Hope Heals-Katherine Wolf created Hope Heals out of the struggles and pain she has suffered. Out of a time of grief and what others would consider a great tragedy, Katherine has created Hope Heals to share how God has written her story and continues to do so for His glory. Her words have challenged, encouraged and lifted me up.
