Fearfully and Wonderfully Broken
From newly married to newly disabled—almost overnight.
Two weeks after her honeymoon, Sydney became disabled. She was later diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), a condition that disrupts the brain’s ability to send correct signals to the body.
Today, Sydney lives with daily seizures, chronic pain, and mobility loss—and often uses a wheelchair. This wasn’t the life she planned. It is the life she’s learning to live faithfully.
Sydney will be the unafraid guide through whatever valley you are walking through, normalizing doubt and the daily fight for faith, and recognizing the presence of God there.
