PANDAS – Set Apart

I write this article with an aching heart for countless families who have been affected by mental illness - including the dozens who have reached out to my husband and I in desperate search for help, hope, and community. Several months ago, after hearing comments made by a well-known Christian leader, discussing his view on… Continue reading A Response to comments on Mental Illness From a Family it Has Misjudged

Seeing the Unseen – Hope for Families Living With Unseen Special Needs

I stirred uncomfortably in my seat, struggling to accept the reality that this chair had my name on it for a reason. I sat there quietly and listened as the group went around sharing their personal journey of special needs. One family shared about their sweet boy living with a genetic disorder, bound to a… Continue reading Seeing the Unseen – Hope for Families Living With Unseen Special Needs

Thanks for reading! My name is Sarah Walton and I'm a stay-at-home mom to 4 little humans. Life has been filled with blessings and sorrows as we've walked through special needs, Lyme Disease and chronic illness as a family, financial loss, job loss, and the slow loss of my ability to walk due to a degenerative ankle. Much of our life is spent navigating the struggles of illness, going to doctors, and learning to find joy in things of lasting value and things we never appreciated as much as we do now. But above all, God has been faithful through it all - meeting us in the valley, teaching us to walk closely with him, and watching him redeem what often seems unredeemable. Life often hurts - but because of Christ, it is full of hope. In my few spare moments, I enjoy writing and speaking about real life, the trials we continue to face, and how the hope of Christ and God's Word speaks into every aspect of it. I have co-authored Hope When It Hurts (alongside Kristen Wetherell) and have most recently co-authored Together Through the Storms - biblical encouragements for your marriage when life hurts, with my hubby, Jeff. You can also find me writing at places like Desiring God, Revive Our Hearts, Unlocking the Bible, Risen Motherhood, and other resources. Thanks for reading! May my words always serve to point you to the hope of Christ and the good news of the Gospel.
