Synopsis

God made me for a reason.
I trust whatever he plans.
His ways don’t make sense to me,
But he’s got me in his hands.
I wish I could stand up, but I can’t.

In this sweetly illustrated children’s book, Debbie Oelke opens up about life with multiple sclerosis after it took her ability to walk.

Most importantly, they will learn to trust God in all circumstances, knowing he always has our best interests at heart.
