When Pastor Chad Veach and his wife welcomed their first child into the world four years ago, they knew their lives would be forever changed. They had no idea of the challenges that would arise as a result of their daughter Georgia\u2019s brain disorder, diagnosed just four months after she was born.<\/p>\n

Georgia never cried, never fussed, hardly ever woke them in the middle of the night. Pastor Veach thought they\u2019d hit the lottery with such a quiet bundle of joy.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was perfect,\u201d the author writes in his new book Unreasonable Hope<\/em>. \u201cShe rarely cried at all. At the time, we didn\u2019t realize that was not<\/em> a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until the couple noticed Georgia\u2019s inability to focus and grasp small objects that they decided to visit a doctor. Thinking Georgia might have a vision impairment, Veach could have never prepared himself for what the two parents heard that day.<\/p>\n

Georgia was diagnosed with Lissencephaly, or smooth brain, a rare disorder that results in a lack of development of brain folds. Medically, the diagnosis meant Georgia probably wouldn\u2019t make it to her 10th<\/sup> birthday and that her mental development wouldn\u2019t go beyond that of a 3 month old.<\/p>\n

The diagnosis meant Veach and his wife were facing seemingly endless nights of seizures, constant worry over respiratory infections and aspiration \u2013 the two biggest threats to Georgia\u2019s young life \u2013 and the stress of having no clue of how to care for a special needs child.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest struggle that we faced was just trying to understand what our new normal was,\u201d Veach tells Guideposts.org.<\/p>\n

That new normal involved late night calls to the neurologist, trips to urgent care and canceled family plans. Most of Veach\u2019s wife\u2019s day was filled with trying to get Georgia to eat. Many children suffering with Lissencephaly end up needing feeding tubes because their brain has trouble telling their body to chew and swallow food. Georgia required two hours, if not more, per feeding — breakfast, lunch and dinner.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe stress, it\u2019s a real game changer for your lifestyle,\u201d Veach says.<\/p>\n

One night, as the couple lay in bed, Veach\u2019s wife woke him from a deep sleep. She wanted to make sure that, were something to happen to Georgia, Veach wouldn\u2019t blame her or himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it was a real definitive moment for us,\u201d Veach recalls. \u201cYou have this guilt and shame, all these normal feelings that come with this as a parent. That moment for us was just going, \u2018We have done everything we could, we haven\u2019t dropped the ball, we haven\u2019t been careless or irresponsible. If something happens to her we are going to celebrate her life and we are also going to move forward without guilt and without repercussion towards one-another.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

It was a turning point in the couple\u2019s relationship and the way they cared for their daughter. The seizures kept coming, a feeding tube eventually became necessary and those hard days weren\u2019t behind them. But, freeing themselves of the guilt so many caregivers feel meant Veach and his wife could have hope for the future and for Georgia.<\/p>\n

It was on a trip to New York to preach at Hillsong NYC that the pastor met up with a friend who encouraged him to honor Georgia\u2019s story in a unique way, by getting a tattoo of a \u201cG\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe designed [this] tattoo for Georgia and said every time we look at it, we’ll pray for her and then it just kind of took off,\u201d Veach says.<\/p>\n

Soon friends and family were getting Gs tattooed on their bodies and sharing their G-tats on social media and in their communities. Celebrities like Pretty Little Liars star <\/em>Ashley Benson \u2013 a friend of Veach\u2019s \u2013 and Justin Beiber were getting inked in solidarity with Georgia and her battle. Veach couldn\u2019t visit a church or preach at a conference without at least one person coming up to him to show off their own Georgia tattoo.<\/p>\n

That simple, extraordinary act of kindness left a mark on the young dad.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople around the world going, \u2018I want to do anything in my power to let you know you are not alone and I\u2019m with you. I\u2019m believing with you. I\u2019m believing for your daughter,\u2019\u201d Veach says. \u201cIt\u2019s just unbelievable. I don\u2019t have words to articulate our gratitude.\u201d<\/p>\n

Veach wrote his new book in part to say thank you to everyone supporting Georgia and also to help others who may find themselves on a similar path.<\/p>\n

His book\u2019s title Unreasonable Hope<\/em> carries its own special meaning.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I did not have a full understanding of what hope was,\u201d Veach explains. \u201cHope has this confident expectation. I think it is really easy for us to prepare for the worst [to think] ‘I don\u2019t want to get my hopes because I could get disappointed.’ I found quite the opposite. When I put my hope in God, I have eyes to the future and towards possibility. Hope is the architect. Hope is the one that draws up the plans and lets you see it but in order to get the plans executed you\u2019ve got to have faith.\u201d<\/p>\n

Veach and his wife recently moved to Los Angeles where they started their own church and welcomed two healthy boys into the family. Georgia just celebrated her fourth birthday and as more extensive care is required, things only get harder for her and her parents.<\/p>\n

But Veach continues to trust in the promise of his faith and hopes his story can teach others to do the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod is not the author of sickness,\u201d Veach says. \u201cPeople might say, \u2018Well, we pray for healing how come we haven\u2019t seen it?\u2019 I can\u2019t answer that question. I have prayed for my daughter to be healed and she hasn\u2019t been healed yet. But I believe God is going to heal her on earth or she will be healed in heaven. So I think that is what hope is. Hope says, ‘There is more to this life. There is a better place God\u2019s preparing for us.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
