INFERTILITY AND BARENESS IN THE BIBLE

For National Infertility Awareness Week

The simple answer to why numerous authors with varying concerns would add infertility to scripture is simple. God ordained it. God chose these stories. And I believe He chose them for women just like you and me.

ART FOR HEALING AFTER MISCARRIAGE

2021 has been a challenging year for so many women. Those who have suffered a miscarriage or stillbirth must sit at home in isolation, unable to have physical contact with their friends and family.

HOW TO SURVIVE THE BROKEN ROAD TO MOTHERHOOD

| Talk | Write | Pray | Read |

When I experienced my miscarriages, I was not okay. And five years after that difficult season, I’m still convincing myself that it was okay to not be okay. If you are stumbling around in the dark trying to find the light, don’t give up. God is close to the brokenhearted and I believe with all my heart, He is close to your busted- into-a-million-pieces heart.

I HAVE BALANCED TRANSLOCATION

And Two Healthy Children

My second miscarriage happened on a Sunday morning, the day after my best friend's baby shower. I was reminiscing about how much fun I had the night before and how I finally escaped the pain of infertility. Then, everything changed. My joyful anticipation turned into cries of unimaginable grief.
