Through the years, the Lord has used family to minister to me time and time again. When I was a child, my parents
led me to trust Jesus at a young age. Once I got married, my husband and I learned the importance of trusting God
regardless of the situation or outcome.
My deepest desire has always been to be a mom. I would cry out to the Lord, begging Him to grant the desires of my
heart and give me a child. After 13 long months of waiting, I echoed Hannah’s words in 1 Samuel 1:27: “I prayed for this
child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of Him.” God loves us because we are His children, and there is nothing
we can do to change His love for us. Now, through my baby, God has spoken His love to my heart. I am His child, and
He loves me more than I can imagine. His way and His timing is always perfect.
