I was telling a colleague at work this week my story of having my son Lachie with his spontaneous ‘genetic mutation’ which caused him to have dwarfism. Their response was ‘how unlucky’ which I countered was so far from the truth. As Christian women, we all know that life is full of ‘unlucky’ circumstances and unprecedented battles, but my life is a testament to how through these moments we can rise up and stand firm.
This year we are celebrating 20 years of Everywoman conference. Our annual gathering of the girls - go the girls!! We’ve hung bras across the auditorium, given away double beds, laid wet muddy grass for a tropical theme, laughed, cried, been healed, delivered, and worn bright bold lipsticks!!
From a young age, I was told having children may never happen at all but if it did, it certainly wouldn't be natural and would most definitely be a challenge. But even from that young age, I held so tightly to the dream that one day I would have my own children.
