Thank you, Emily! I have been praying for over 2 decades for marriage & motherhood. I am still waiting…I still trust God. The pain is bittersweet. I know His plan is better than mine. It has been hard but I know all circumstances work for His glory. We will have joy in Heaven 🙏
Jesus told St Teresa of Avila in The Life (I'm reciting from memory but I love that book and read it a few times already so it will be darn close to word for word): "I remember when you saw it as an honor to go against My will, and even then I answered your prayers in ways better than you could even imagine, why would I not answer your prayers now?" Your point about God answering your deepest prayers in ways better than you knew to pray for reminded me of that :)
We suffered with years of infertility at the beginning of our marriage, and also a couple misscarriages more recently (after four heathy children). Now we are expecting our fifth, and I had a similar realization that the ones we do have wouldn't have been possible without the losses and that in heaven someday I will hold all those babies that wouldn't have been possible in this life. God bless you for opening your heart to the children that needed you and Gods plan for your family.
Thank you for sharing your life with us. Your clear advise about giving our sins to God and motivate us to confession is just perfect and to help children feel salvation is for them, through stories is your gift. God bless you.Thank you again for your witness!
Yes! My journey was similar and the moment I held my daughter in my arms, all desires to be a mother were fulfilled. I no longer desired to have a child, or be a mother, in any other way than through the route God chose for me through adoption.
Just no. It's not happy to be thinking all my life that my stillborn and my just 2-days-alive sisters had to die so my parents had a 2nd alive child, finally (me). Not only I've had to deal with it, but when I got married, discovered my own infertility? That's wild. I refuse to be a machine of miscarriages! Yes I wanted to have babies but the thought of loosing them was crushing. Didn't want to be a mother courage either. I stopped trying at thirthy something, and been actually avoiding (not artificial ways) until total menopause. Meanwhile, no sacraments because clearly I'm a bad woman.
i’m sorry and i really appreciate your transparency but i find it very hard to relate to the infertility story of someone that got married at 41 and tried for all of 2 years. and also the magical baby to adopt who showed up with no money and no home study and then mortgaging the house etc etc just to adopt more. i guess that is just testimony to God’s awesome power in other people’s lives. but that’s not my story i guess 🙁

What? A machine of miscarriages? Mother courage? Bad woman? Are you a bot or what
