Brave Is Showing Up: Leigh Ann Whitehead

Sometimes brave is as simple—and as hard—as deciding to get up and be present in your own life, no matter what it looks like. Today Leigh Ann Whitehead shares her story, one she thought was wrapped with a bow, but God had other plans. After getting married at thirty, Leigh Ann has battled infertility for years. She and her husband Dan were blessed with two children, but after a while, Leigh Ann discovered her second child, her precious son Will, has severe nonverbal autism. After struggling with anger and disappointment, Leigh Ann realized she had to ease her grip on the idea of family she’d had in her head, trust God to know what He was doing, and make the brave decision to show up for her family, just as it was. And when she did, Leigh Ann discovered peace, joy, and healing.
