\"Moriah<\/p>\n

The previous post in this series<\/a> introduced you to Justin and Victoria Nelson, proud parents of Moriah, age two. In this post, you’ll hear their answers to some questions about how Moriah’s medical saga has impacted them.<\/p>\n

How Has This Changed You?<\/h3>\n

Justin: I learned to come to God and give him each day. Trust in God and constant reliance on who He is. That’s the only way to survive.<\/p>\n

Victoria: As a mom, I used to be shy, but learned I can’t be. I have to speak up, be strong, and advocate for Moriah. I have to keep going, stand my ground, and be firm.<\/p>\n

Justin: The situation simplified my perspective on life. I used to be ambitious for my family, but I’ve learned to be content with little things. I have my wife, my daughter, and God. I don’t need any other stuff.<\/p>\n

Victoria: I’ve become passionate for kids with medical needs. Someday I would love to give back – support families and show appreciation to doctors and nurses.<\/p>\n

Do You Have Advice for Parents?<\/h3>\n

Justin: Spend time with God each day. Hold onto his promises. He loves us more than we understand. Seek him even when you’re ticked off about what’s happening. Only God can help you do that.<\/p>\n

Victoria: They should read your book, Jolene. It covers everything and says it all.<\/p>\n

Jolene’s Disclaimer<\/h3>\n

Just so you know, I didn’t pay Victoria or bribe her in any way to say that about A Different Dream for My Child<\/a>. <\/em>In fact, this young couple is much more mature than my husband and I were when Allen was little. So I encourage you to visit www.momentswithmoriah.com<\/a> often to see how they are doing and benefit from their wisdom and insight. Along with updates about Moriah, you’ll find links to other parents’ websites, information about support organizations, and much more.<\/p>\n

You’ll also fall in love with Moriah and her parents. I sure did.<\/p>\n
