Scriptures mentioned in Episode:

Psalm 139:16 You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.

Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Psalm 34:18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Do you ever think maybe God is withholding your children from you because of your past? Or maybe because of your present? Listen as Anna leads us to identifying how our insecurities are playing a factor into some lies we may be believing about our infertility.

Ashley has faced a 15 year journey with chronic illness that has dramatically effected her ability to have children. Ashley's story isn't tied up with the perfect bow, the perfect ending. She's not holding her miracle. She's still facing this journey every day, and yet she is still choosing to trust God through every heartbreak.
