BEREA, Ohio, July 5, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Bernadette Butler, a wife, mother, and stepmother who overcame a challenging upbringing to pursue careers as a data entry technician, flight attendant, school crossing guard, and school board member, has completed her book "Living with Autism My Life with God, Me, and Melvin": a memoir of love, perseverance, and faith.
Bernadette was nineteen years old, pregnant, and married. She was excited and afraid all at the same time. She could not wait to hold the baby, all her hopes and dreams she envisioned for him. He laughed and smiled, he crawled and walked. Then silence crept in, this silence lead to an unexpected diagnosis that sent them both on a challenging journey. Autism, what does it mean?
She blamed herself for so many years, feeling that Father God was punishing her. It took all these years of healing and learning that God was not punishing her. He knew she would love her son unconditionally.
God was taking all her ashes and making a beautiful fragrance to share with others. Out of her journey blossomed: Lord Be the Center of My Life Ministry, INC.
