Sky Full Of Stars
In this episode, Jonathan & Sarah interview Meg Apperson, author of “Sky Full of Stars.”
Meg grew up having a relationship with Jesus and would say she had trusted God her entire life. But when her daughter Avery—a miracle in so many ways—was born with a syndrome of severe birth defects, Meg began to fully understand what it really means to trust Jesus with everything.
Meeting Jesus in the valley of the shadow of death…getting to know him in the midst of very serious suffering is a side to him that I don’t know if I could have learned in any other way. I feel like that valley is where he does his most intricate work of change, healing and growth. I wish I could take away Avery’s suffering but I’m grateful for what my suffering alongside her meant for me.

Through your journey in disability, have you have struggled with your relationship with God and questioned His faithfulness and promises in the Bible? If so, you will be greatly encouraged by today’s interview with Diane Dokko Kim, author of Unbroken Faith: Spiritual Recovery For The Special Needs Parent.
“The best thing that I did for myself, probably the one thing I got right was to give myself permission to grieve. To give myself permission to be real about all of those questions that every single one of us have and to let myself grieve, doubt, to have questions and to even be angry. To even be angry at God and to raise those questions…The second thing is to take those questions and to wrestle with the word of God. As I wrestled with the word of God, it was amazing to find how relevant it was. To realize that God does understand this situation. ”
