This pendant came into my life near the end of my journey to add another person to my family. After two ectopic pregnancies and two miscarriages, God blessed me with a pregnancy due October 8, 2026.
Seven years of questioning and waiting is difficult to summarize succinctly, so I’d love to share instead what God did during the space between 2019 and 2026.
God taught me my true value and worth is independent of anything in this world.
God taught me to love and mother myself.
God taught me to seek him first and listen. He walked slowly beside me through this entire process.
God showed me care through so many people and practitioners.
Ultimately, God taught me to surrender control, and that my effort does not equal the outcome.
No matter what happens in this life, I know what God has a vision and plan larger than I can conceive. And only when I was willing to accept that, was I actually ready to conceive.
Everything I have in this life is God’s. I’m just luck enough to be chosen to steward it.
God told me near the beginning of my journey: “you will have a family”. I hung on that promise daily. What I didn’t know was that was the point: I may be having a baby, but what I also gained was the awareness of all the love and blessings around me that God has bestowed on my life. I am eternally grateful.
