Infertility typically adds so much stress to a marriage. And sadly many marriages do not survive after the tragedy of miscarriage or child loss. BUT GOD is rich in mercy and more than able to use these challenges to strengthen your relationship with Him and each other. It IS possible to not only get through these difficulties but also to find joy in the midst of your sorrow and the strength to serve each other through tough times.

It’s tough watching your friends get married and have children while you are still waiting for God to bring your spouse into the picture.

Kara Jones joins Anne and Jade as she shares about the devastating infertility diagnosis she received at such an early age.

No one expected Poppy to live through delivery. But she did. A few minutes after she was born, her family sang “Revelation Song” as they passed her around and soaked up every precious moment of her life. “I like to think she heard us singing and then when she died she immediately heard Heaven singing the same song to the Lord in the throne room,” says Poppy’s mom. Don’t miss this powerful story of life, loss and enduring love!
