In 2018, our lives were blessed with the arrival of a beautiful baby boy. Joy filled our hearts as we held him close, dreaming of the incredible future that awaited him. Little did we know that our path was about to take an unexpected turn, one that would test our faith and resilience like never before.
Two years later, our son was diagnosed with autism. The news hit us like a tidal wave, leaving us feeling shattered and lost in a world suddenly turned upside down. It was as if our dreams had been stolen from us, and we were left grappling with the overwhelming weight of uncertainty. This diagnosis felt like we had just entered a maze of uncertainty. Dealing with it required more mental strength than we ever imagined. The initial shock brought a flood of emotions, and staying mentally stable became a real challenge.
In those dark moments, I found myself on my knees, seeking solace and strength from the only source I knew could carry us through this daunting journey – the Lord. I poured out my heart in prayer, asking for His guidance, His wisdom, and His unwavering strength to navigate this path filled with thorns.
As the years rolled on, we embarked on a relentless quest to find the best treatments and therapies for our son. There were days when the weight of it all threatened to crush me, moments when I contemplated surrendering to despair and staying in bed all day. But that simply wasn't an option, not when we had a little soul depending on us, needing our love and unwavering support.
This journey through the world of autism can be painfully lonely. Few can truly understand the heartbreak, the sleepless nights, and the endless challenges we face. But in those moments of despair, I clung to my faith, knowing that God was right there beside us. He became my anchor when I felt adrift, my beacon of hope when darkness threatened to overwhelm. Through it all, I learned that God is a God who renews strength, who lifts us up when we stumble, and who fills us with hope when hope seems lost. He reminded me that with Him, all things are possible, and that recovery is not just a dream but a potential reality. In Him, I found the strength to continue, to fight for our son's future, and to keep believing in the power of miracles.
Many may not understand the daily struggles we face, but we press on because we know that victory belongs to Jesus. This is one of the scriptures that sustained me through the darkest of nights: “For l know the plans l have for you”, declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”(Jeremiah 29:11). It is with this promise that we press on, trusting in God’s unfailing love and his perfect plan for our lives.
It was during these challenging times that the idea for Parach Designs was born. I wanted to spread my faith and the message of hope through clothing, to offer a tangible source of inspiration and encouragement to others facing their own trials and tribulations.
