Hello, my friend. We all have a mental map of how we expect our lives to unfold. We plan for the straight roads and the sunny vistas, but rarely do we prepare for the jagged, uphill climbs. Yet, it is often on those very ‘hard paths’ that we find the most precious rewards of all.
In this video, my friend Rhome Dyck shares one of the most tender parts of his story—the birth of his second daughter and the moment they learned she had Down Syndrome. It’s a candid look at the initial shock, the grief of a lost dream, and the beautiful realization that God’s plans are often far bigger and better than our own. If you find yourself on a path you didn’t choose, I want to encourage you: don’t look at the difficulty of the terrain; look at the hand of the One leading you. There are rewards waiting for you that you simply can’t find on the easy road.
