Since 2024, I attended Moms in the Making virtual Bible studies while leaders encouraged me to step into leadership. Fear and doubt held me back, and old comments from family and unsolicited church advice left me feeling rejected. At the 2024 Moms in the Making Conference, I confessed my bitterness, that others received grace while I felt overlooked. Speaking it
This past year didn’t go according to my plans. During a procedure at a fertility clinic, I experienced a rare complication that left me bedridden for months. While I have a wonderful community at home, I still felt physically isolated during my bed rest and throughout my fertility journey. In the midst of my pain, God knew exactly what I
In March of 2021, my husband and I found out we were pregnant with our son via IVF. After a 3.5-year wait, we welcomed him into our family with great joy in November 2021. During my recovery from a C-section, I began an intense struggle with postpartum anxiety and depression. It was a very dark season—one I never would have
“God Remembers” is how I would summarize my testimony. I remember when my husband and I had friends on child number 2 and 3 and we were struggling to get one. My family and friends would often suggest that I try IVF, adoption or other routes, but God wouldn’t allow my spirit to agree with any of those options. As
My husband I got married in 2015. We decided to wait to try to have kids until the spring of 2017 in hopes that we’d have children close in age to my sister’s children. After a year of trying with no success, we were diagnosed with unexplained infertility. I was in such a dark place after being given that news
I’ve come a long way in my journey to have a baby. I used to keep it all to myself. But back in 2019, I made the step to join a Moms in the Making virtual group and never looked back. God worked on me and healed me in so many areas, including shame about my story. I began to
In August of 2019, I prepared my home for my first Moms in the Making meeting. I was officially co-leading a local in-person group in Green Bay, Wisconsin and was in desperate need for community. I knew two women planned to attend that first evening, but I recall feeling completely unqualified for this calling that the Lord had placed on my
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,
I had always seen the request to join the Moms in the Making Support Team, and even though I felt like I should sign up, I hesitated. I was just not that person who mailed letters or went to the post office. These thoughts disappeared when I had my own miscarriage and lost my son Jaiden. Everyday, for a few days
I am extremely grateful that I was able to attend the 2021 Moms in the Making conference. I remember wanting to attend a MITM conference ever since I saw some pictures of the first one in 2017. Initially, I had no intentions of attending this year because I was due in November. However, a few weeks after losing my son,
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.
