“Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from you...your people will be my people” (Ruth 1:16). My name is not Ruth but I love her story. As a multiracial family, many people do not see or experience the world the way we do: racism, managing rare diseases (like PANDAS & cancer) and foster/adoption journeys abound - slamming us into systems of oppression and injustice that I never knew before. But Jesus...I bear witness to what He is teaching me in this “new” world as He heals our broken pieces.

It sounds very familiar to families with children suffering from Auto-immune Encephalitis and uncontrolled epilepsy. But we can re-imagine what this father was really asking for if we have lived through the same hell ourselves. In this episode I Re-imagine the father’s back story.
