My Spirit is Not Disabled!

When Lori and Perry learned their baby girl would be born with Spina Bifida, their doctor urged them to end the pregnancy. But as faithful members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, they chose to trust God instead. When Sarah was born with the most severe form of Spina Bifida, life brought many challenges—but also unexpected joy. From the beginning, her bright spirit shone through her eyes.

In this Faith Story, Sarah shares her journey in her own words—a story of courage, faith, and peace found through trust in God. Her unwavering optimism and cheerful heart are a reminder that even in physical trials, God’s love brings strength and serenity.
