It was September 27, 1992, and Mary and Jerry Lenaburg were at the baptism of their second child and first daughter, Courtney. It was then that Courtney had the first of what would be many grand-mal seizures in her twenty-two years of life.
I’ve heard Mary’s amazing story of faith and what caring for Courtney taught her, Jerry, and 
their son Jonathan about surrender, forgiveness, and love. This month, I’m delighted to be reading that story on the page in Be Brave in the Scared: How I Learned to Trust God During the Most Difficult Days of My Life. I’m thinking you’ll probably want to read it too; it will officially be released on May 10 (fittingly, two days before Mother’s Day) but you can pre-order it now if you like.
As I wrote this little item, I kept accidentally typing Be Brave in the Sacred instead of Be Brave in the Scared. In this case, maybe either is correct.
