Her Journey - Her Story “After gaining the honor of becoming the first of our group of friends to become pregnant, then losing the baby at only 7 weeks, the horror of infertility was the furthest thing from our minds. After all, we’d been pregnant before. This began a --- year journey of faith. Faith in God and his promise to work all things out for the good, faith in ourselves and our marriage to withstand trial, and faith in the friends and relatives who gathered with us in prayer. After years of painful baby showers, where I was truly happy for my friends, but my own pain was magnified, and dreams changed and altered, our prayers were answered in a beautiful daughter and son. My heart goes out to every mother waiting for her cradle to be filled. Remember. God has a plan for your life. Jeremiah 29:11.”  Christina, Now a Mother of 2
