Your outlook on your new normal is inspirational. I had an AVM that caused a brain hemorrhage and stroke almost seven years ago and I still ask myself every single day why me? Why did I have to survive? I hate my new normal and you’ve embraced it. GOOD FOR YOU!!🎉
Katherine, I just watched your testimony on the Desperate for Jesus Women’s Conference 2020. You are such a awesome woman of God. I could watch your testimony over and over. God Bless you and your ministry. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
This lady has come a long way...all praise to the Most High 💕 I just wish she would stop saying "she can't" because if there is anyone who can say..I can..it's her! 💯%
I think that there is truth in what she's saying but she's not the sole definition of strength. And being joyful is not a sign of strength. It's often a mask. We look at the most joyful people and believe that they live charmed lives but it's typically the joyful people who are hurting the most and no one knows. How we heal from situations that change our entire trajectory in life is personal to each person. There is no but that should be inserted after the statement that it is okay to not be okay. It is okay to bot be okay period. There are many young mothers out there who suffer life altering illnesses that don't have the money, nice home, and supportive husbands or other friends or family to help them navigate their new normal. Some recover while still being full time mothers. Rehab is not an option because you can't afford it and because your baby can't go eith. Having that much longed for second child is completely out of the question, safety is the least of your concerns when every single day is s battle to open your eyes. Where your child doesn't eat if you don't figure out how to make it happen or he doesn't get to and from school unless you grab your walker and spend all of the energy you never knew you had to hobble almost a mile each way to get him to and from school. After that especially on cold rainy days or extreme heat filled days helping with homework is out of the question, so is a healthy dinner. For me, true strength is making it through a day like that just to open my eyes and repeat it the next day, and the next, and so on. I have many joyful moments and days. I would like to say that the good days outweigh the bad but they don't. And that's okay. I don't allow the negative feelings to consume my every thought but I don't pretend for the benefit of others anymore either. My grief and anger over my situation is valid. Even if it makes someone else uncomfortable. Others see me as a woman of great strength and I think that has worked against me. When I project an image of joy and unbreakable strength others don't think that I'm barely hanging on. I'm drowning. Some days I cry because I wake up. I just want it to be over. Because it's not living, it's existing. I think that the quality of ones life is far more important than the quantity. The scriptures tell us that there will always he suffering. That we all will face challenges that we will need to overcome. That our reward will be to one day rejoice in Heaven. Well. Whole. Surrounded by our loved ones. That in the end it's all worth it. Maybe it will be. But forcing my child to also suffer is not the way I would have chosen to do it. He deserves better than what I can give him
I'm a stroke survivor as well. I appreciate you Katherine and your inspiration.
Only Christ could give such inner strength . Amazing woman !
Possibly the most powerful video I’ve seen. I really needed to hear this message. Thank you Katherine ❤️

I hear what you’re saying, there is not a “right” way to have a disability. I pray that God will meet you right where you are!! 🙏🏻
Amen to your prayer for this person. Katharine's testimony was an encouragement to me.
