rex

I did not know what to expect when I opened Rex, but I was meet with a story of grace and provision unlike any other. We all face trials of varying degrees, and Rex faced huge mountains that most people will never have to deal with. Cathleen Lewis takes the struggle of life and makes it real. No one is perfect, but we can learn from Cathleen as she faced every new challenge with Grace and the determination of a mother. Even if you are not facing the journey of a child with disabilities, there are huge lessons to be learned from her. Early in the book Cathleen talks about her journey toward God and finding peace. She describes it as her…”stomach…unwind{ing}, releasing the constant pressure. I looked at Rex…there was an expression of peace…a clam…..Suddenly the tears…began falling.” (pg 38-39) We have all been there. Whatever the circumstance, everyone has had a moment where we meet with the peace of God. It is undeniable how God moved in the lives of Rex and Cathleen and brought them to a dependence on Him. A dependence that carried them through the trials that still lay ahead of them.
