She encourages our hearts as she shares what she did during the times when her life hit an all-time low. What do you do when life seems unbearable and your husband is in one affair after another? What do you do when the medical bills are so high that you cannot pay them? How do you cope with life mentally and emotionally when your son endures more than 100 surgical procedures? Where do you find hope? Cindy Benezra is from Seattle, Washington. She is married and has raised her family of four in the area. Her youngest son, Bryan, was born with a rare brain tumor. Now, her son is an adult, and Cindy shares her story of the joys and challenges of raising a special needs son.  Aside from being a mom with a special needs adult, Cindy is the author of  Under the Orange Blossoms . She is an advocate for sexual abuse survivors, and a reminder that through the hardships, it is possible to cultivate strength, community, and hope. We pray this episode will bless the hearts of our listeners in Jesus' name, Amen. Thank you, Cindy.
