My Story

My husband and I were not yet married when we became pregnant with our first child.  We were going through a very difficult time in our relationship together and we couldn't overcome the sin in our lives.  I felt trapped and alone.  James and I didn't love each other anymore and we wanted to end our relationship.  However, when we found out we were having a baby, we decided to stick it out, even though we really didn't want to.  Despite this, we loved our baby very much and couldn't wait to meet him or her.  Unfortunately, our baby did not survive, and was taken into the arms of the Lord on April 21, 1999.  We were both devastated and we ended our relationship.  I felt like God was punishing me for my sins by taking away the only thing that could have brought love back into my relationship with James.  I was wrong.  Jesus is the only one who could help me.  Slowly, I began to realize how wrong I was and I accepted that whatever happened in my future was going to be up to God.  By putting my trust in Him, I was also taking a huge burden off of my own shoulders, and beginning to see God for all of the wonderful things He is.  About four months after James left me, we were brought back together.  The next few months were very hard.  We had to learn how to love each other again and there were times when I felt like giving up.  But I knew all of this was happening for a reason.  I just prayed to God for His will to be done in our situation.  On June 3, 2000 James and I were happily married and our relationship has never been better because now God is a part of it.  Although we will never forget our precious baby, it is because of his passing that we are able to be together today.  When I thought all hope was lost and I thought God didn't know what he was doing, God did the greatest thing for us.  He taught us to love again.
