Mark Cravens says, “As a mother of two children with rare genetic disorders and complex needs, Kristin felt that her life was impossible to bear. Over time, she lost faith and became angry at God, questioning His goodness as she looked at her burdensome life. But fortunately, Kristin found her way back to the faith she once held dear and the loving God who had a plan and a purpose for her life even through the hardships she faced. Her story is a remarkable story of grace, hope, and redemption.”
Kristin presented on “How Caregivers Can Advocate for Their Own Spiritual and Mental Health” and “How To Determine the Difference Between Caregiving Stress and a Serious Mental Health Condition.”
Kristin Clouse says, “Kristin’s journey became so overwhelming as her depression increased to the point where she attempted to take her own life. God moved in her behalf, and Kristin woke up in ICU where her life was changed. She began the process of finding the right help and support for the journey of restoring her life.”
Cathy Krafve says, “Kristin shares about the anxiety and panic she felt about her children’s care. And how her bitterness spiraled into depression and helplessness. She shares more details about her suicide attempt and how God intervened. Next week, she shares about overcoming dark moments and finding joy in this day.”
Mark Prasek interviewed Kristin on PJNET.tv. They talked about everything from parenting children with special needs, faith, mental health, and how pulling weeds is therapeutic.

I loved how vulnerably she talks. You will, too. No wonder she is a sought after speaker at parenting conferences all across the country. “

While we know that God always keeps His promises, there are sometimes it just seems impossible. There are times when we just don’t know how THIS could have any good in it. There are times we are plagued with doubt. The Lord, however, is faithful, and will show us things we never would have known any other way but through what happens in our lives. Not only that, He then takes us to places we never would have thought we could go!
