Nearly five years ago Rachael Prescott, already expecting a surprise set of twins, learned more news about the babies she was carrying: they'd be born with Down Syndrome. Rachael, the mom behind the popular @doublingdownmom Instagram account, shares how her girls have taught her how beautiful the world can be when we create space for everyone to thrive, and how God can use every single person for His good.
Quotes
"It just gives me that warm feeling to think that God is going to use my daughters and other people with Down Syndrome in this world in ways that are going to be pivotal to sharing His goodness, His glory." —Rachael Prescott
"We tend to be afraid of things that we don't know or understand. And pair that ignorance and fear joining up together that are really just stripping us of a huge community of joy, ultimately, that I think brings light to our world in a way that it would be a dimmer place without these people." —Rachael Prescott
"We need to purposefully set into spaces and make them inclusive, and sit in the discomfort of what we don't understand long enough to build relationships with people who are different than us." —Rachael Prescott
