“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:31

Jon and Ellen have been married for 27 years and God has richly blessed them with 10 children; 9 biological and 1 adopted. Ten years ago, their 8th child was born with Down Syndrome. It was a difficult and dark time between both trying to meet the overwhelming physical needs of their baby as well as working through numerous feelings of grief and fear related to raising an “imperfect” child.
