Today, on Mother’s Day, my heart is filled with gratitude as I hold my baby in my arms. What once felt impossible became possible only because of God’s grace and faithfulness.
 
My husband and I have been married for 11 years, and we waited a long time for a child. We went through 3 IUI, 1 IVF, and 2 frozen embryo transfers. When we finally conceived, we were filled with hope—but at 5 months, I experienced a miscarriage. It was a deeply painful season, but even then, God never left us. In moments when my heart was broken and my faith felt weak, He continued to carry us.
 
Last year in June, during a church camp, Pastor Joy prayed for me. In July, by God’s grace alone, I conceived Baby naturally. It was not by human effort, but fully by His mercy and perfect timing. As Jeremiah 29:11 says, God has plans to give us hope and a future.
 
Even during this pregnancy, there were challenges. At 27 weeks, I experienced bleeding and was admitted for two weeks on bed rest. There was fear and uncertainty, but through it all, God’s peace surrounded me. His Word in Isaiah 41:10 reminded me not to fear, because He is with me.
 
By God’s grace, I carried my baby to 36 weeks and delivered safely. Having my baby is truly a testimony of God’s goodness and faithfulness. Psalm 127:3 reminds us that children are a gift from the Lord.
 
This Mother’s Day is especially meaningful to me because I know this blessing came from God alone. This testimony is not about my strength, but about who God is. He is faithful, He hears our prayers, and He restores in His perfect timing.
 
I also want to thank Pastor Carey, Pastor Joy, all the pastors, my cell group leader, and everyone who has faithfully prayed for me and stood with me throughout this journey.
 
All glory to God. Truly, our God is good.
