Ginny’s Story
My story began with a long bout of infertility. Infertility is such a lonely and dark journey, especially when you see many of your family members and friends getting to celebrate the joys of having a baby. Social media only adds to the sting of not being able to conceive with posts of gender reveals, baby bumps and ultrasound pictures. I felt as though I was wishing weeks of my life away as I counted down the days until I could take a pregnancy test to see if it would come up positive. I’ve never wanted something so badly in my life. The pull to become a Mom is strong, ...

Hope Pouring Through the Day Jesus Died
In this series, "Grieve to the Gospel"—we invite you to share with us together in the truths of the good news of Christ. We can tune our grief to the tones, notes, and chords we hear in it. We will still certainly grieve, but welcoming the gospel into our minds, hearts, and experience will help us to understand what the Bible means when it communicates that there is a uniquely Christian way to grieve (1 Thessalonians 4:13).
Directly in front of me were church members standing to read the account of the crucifixion that Good ...
Into the Arms of a Strong Heavenly Father
This will be my fourth Father's Day as a father. My first Father's Day was exactly 2 months after our daughter was born into glory. I had always heard that becoming a father brings a whole new perspective to our Christian walk since it helps us to more fully appreciate what it means that God identifies Himself as our Father. However, as a father to a child in heaven, my perspective on what it means that God is our Heavenly Father has taken on an even deeper meaning.
In the New Testament God is often referred to as our Father. One of those places is in Romans 8 where ...
Angelique’s Story
I’ve always believed one of my missions is motherhood. In the fall of 2013, my purpose was fulfilled. I presented a pair of Longhorn baby booties and a stick with a positive reading to my husband, Matt. I’ve always believed I was meant to be a mom, but I wholeheartedly believed I was meant to be the mom to a daughter. I remember praying the night before the gender reveal party.
“God, if you made this baby a boy, can you change it because I really need it to be a girl,” knowing God had already made the decision of my child’s gender long before conception.

Reagan’s Story
My husband and I got married in July of 2016 and had asked God to give us a child whenever He wanted to do so. God’s plan was quicker than we anticipated and as it turned out, I was pregnant before we had been married for one month! We were both so excited and told our parents as soon as the blood work was back that confirmed that we were, indeed, going to be parents ourselves.
On November 21, we went to our first ultrasound and saw our little baby for the first time at 12 weeks, 3 days. I was in awe at God’s design as I looked at our child’s face, profile, little ...
