Your strength and victory comes from God alone. You are fearfully and wonderfully made.
It has been a journey of believing for Gods promise to be fulfilled in our life and not relenting.
Evan and I talked about having a family before getting
married. We both grew up around kids in our lives in our different ways. I have
been working in children’s ministry with my parents for as long as I can
remember, its such a passion that God has put into my heart. Evan grew up in a
big family with lots of siblings. We had a strong desire about being parents
and raising the next generation.
So about 4 years ago and only 3 or 4 months into our
marriage, we were put into a position to practice our vows in the part of being
there for each other in sickness and health. I happened to have gotten really
sick, and was 8 or so weeks pregnant and I didn’t know. On February 1,2012 I
woke up in a lot of pain and loosing lots of blood, after enduring lots of pain
and later that day talking to my mom on the phone I decided to get checked out.
I then went to the hospital with my sister and had Evan meet us there since he
was at work in Stirling. When getting to the hospital and seeing the Dr. it was
a shock for me to hear him ask me “how many times have you been pregnant?” When
I didn’t know I was pregnant. At this point my sister left to go to youth, and
Evan wasn’t there yet. And I was getting prepped for emergency surgery, I had
what was called an ectopic pregnancy. While being prepped the nurse was
informing that if I had waited any longer, I might not have woken up the next
day. Me being scared and hearing all this, right away asked for a phone to call
my mom and had her get a hold of Evan and they both came down to the hospital.
After 5 days in the hospital in that time I have had 2 emergency surgeries and
a blood transfusion.
Very early in our marriage we had a big learning curve
where the devil tried to take us out literally. Later that year after healing
up from this experience we talked and we decided to start trying for our family
to begin. Well a year went buy and still nothing was happening I then went back
to our family Dr. Being fertility wasn’t his specialty he was going to try and
refer me to someone where that is there specialty. That was also an emotional
time because not very many doctors in the area were willing to take on our
case. I finally got a call from Dr. Kovacs, I was then told by a family friend
that he was the best in fertility in the area. So another God ordained moment.
Even Dr. Kovacas had a hard time even figuring out what was wrong and why my
body wasn’t working. I even was asked if I have ever had sexual diseases
because he couldn’t come up with an answer. I had been experiencing in this time
some very bad abdomen pains that they were trying to find the answers for as
well. Evan and I were both sent in for some tests. I was then booked for
surgery in October 2014, where they discovered I had endometriosis. They
cleaned me out in surgery of the endometriosis as much as they could without
removing my uterus.
At the end of that November I went back to the
Dr. I was at this point still experiencing the pains. This Dr. appointment I
happened to have gone alone, since Evan was working, and the news the Dr. had
told me wasn’t easy, the next words that came out of his mouth were “he didn’t
think I would ever conceive naturally”. He then started talking to me about my
options with invitro. I was referred to a clinic in Kingston. In May 2015 Evan
and I went to hear about our options. After the doctors in Kingston talked to
us, and we saw the costs Evan and I talked and knew in our hearts to continue
trusting God and not to go forward with the invitro process.
I had
also gone into 2015 believing this was going to be our year for conception. We
had many people praying and believing with us and speaking words over our
family.
Looking
back God has really worked some miracles in my life and ours through our
marriage.
4
years ago I was on my death bed, with an ectopic pregnancy.
3
years ago our marriage was a little rocky
2
years ago a Doctor said we wouldn’t conceive.
1
year ago seen a fertility Doctor and knew it wasn’t the path for us.
Now
this our miracle baby is due to arrive this summer, and God has worked wonders
in our marriage.
And
the bible says how God created my body and how its suppose to line up with his
word. “I am Fruitful”, “I am fearfully and wonderfully made” I had declared
this over my life for over a year alongside the prayer warriors in mine and
Evans’s life.
My
life and this life I am carrying is proof that God answers prayers. Yes, its
been a journey of believing and waiting.
Don't loose faith and never stop standing to see Gods goodness.
