My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 4 years this month. At the beginning of this journey I was faithful in my walk with the Lord. I wasn’t perfect, but I enjoyed fellowship weekly and spent time in prayer daily. Once I realized that we were traveling a road that would be longer than a few months
My name is Denise and together with my husband Giorgio, we were praying and asking God to bless us with children. We waited and waited, but nothing happened. In 2019 I finally got pregnant. Our hearts were full of joy, but then I unfortunately miscarried. The doctor said that it would be difficult for me to be pregnant because of
My husband and I got married in 2013. Although we wanted children, we decided to wait. Our marriage immediately was hard due to depression and illness. This lasted for several years. I had a job when we married, but due to illness I could no longer work. In 2018 I finally started to feel myself again, but for months I bled. Eventually
Two years ago we began the journey of trying to conceive our first baby and a year ago a shift in me began happening. 8 months ago I found Moms in the Making and I cannot tell you what this amazing ministry has done for not only me, but also my marriage. I was at a place where I was miserable, trying to
It’s me! I am “that” one who has said, “Obviously God does not want us to have children.” It is a lie! I have repented and I am moving forward. Am I a mom yet? No! But in Jesus’ name! I am patiently waiting in hope as my faith continues to grow. The Moms in the Making small group has
For the past year since our miracle boys were born and honestly even before that, I have been held captive by fear and unworthiness. Fear that something would happen to our boys and feeling unworthy that we have received two miracles when so many others are still in the fire struggling. I had felt guilty at times for even sharing
In 2019, I went to my first conference really only knowing a few women from my virtual group. At that time, I received a scholarship to help cover my costs to attend. I loved it, and felt a call to lead a local group in Orland Park, Illinois. So I applied and started leading a group the following January. In 2020,
This was my second conference and my second year being a leader. I’ve been battling the lies of the enemy saying I was a “bad leader.” I felt like I was failing my group, and that I was an unqualified leader. I was so overwhelmed with this feeling that I had already thought of quitting my leadership role. But every time
In 2016 we decided to start trying for a baby; we had our positive 8 months later. Suddenly a bleeding began and I started to have a lot of pain. When we arrived at the hospital they told us that it was an ectopic pregnancy and surgery was needed. I was in complete shock. That night was the worst I have had. One of
For as long as I can remember I knew I wanted to be a mom. When I was 21, in 2009, I was diagnosed with uterine myomatosis, and some doctors recommended removing my womb. We decided to fight and reject that option. I was on medications, injections and treatments to stop the growth of tumors. In 2014 and 2015 I had
We want to hear your story! Where has God done in your life? Your testimony could be the very thing that restores hope, strengthens faith, and reminds someone else that God sees them and has not forgotten their story.
