| Hi. My name is Diona (De on a) and I'm excited to be a new member of Christian Moms. I've been a Christian for most of my life, though I've had rough patches here and there. I really struggled recently, but my daughter Maddie was an answer to a prayer, many prayers and taught me a lot about myself and Christ's love for us . . . My husband and I struggled with unexplained infertility for over 5 years. I tried everything I could to get pregnant. Saw fertility specialists and tried it all. I started with 6 months of basic fertility drugs, no luck, then 4 IUI attempts, nothing, and then 4 in vitro attempts. On try #1 we did get pregnant but lost the baby at 13 weeks. After the 4th try of in vitro I was tired, and finally willing to accept that I may not have a biological child. I prayed that God would give me the strength to accept this and to realize how blessed I was. I realized I needed to truly put my life in his hands and allow him to guide me. As you maybe can tell I'm a bit of a control freak and fertility was no exception. After I finally reached that place where I could trust God's plan for me and submitted myself to Christ completely -- I found out I was pregnant - naturally. That's a whole other story. Anyway, I really want to raise my child to love the Lord and I look forward to learning and growing from other Christian moms in this group. |

Hi Diona, and welcome
Wow thanks for your story, sometimes the lives of others remind us how truly blessed we are. I had no trouble with getting pregnant, but i have seen similar situations in loved ones and it is a heartbreaking thing. But you turned to the right person:) |

Diona,
GREAT STORY! Im so glad things worked out for you. Funny how we know we need to give things to God, we do, and then we slowly take them back. And once we decide that we have to give things to him 100%, we are then blessed with the way things are suppose to be. Sometimes what we think of as set backs in our lives are just reminders from God that when we do turn our will and our lives over to him he shows himself to us. He wants to bless us. Congratulations! You are a walking testimony.
Take care - Kristen |

| Welcome Diona I am also new to this group. I shared with the ladies that I am not a mother though I do desire to have my own children someday. I am currently a live in nanny and I love it! I am a 28 year old single Chrstian woman and I am truly blessed to be where I am in life for now. You story touched me in soo many ways. When I was in the world having sex outside of marraige the Lord did not allow me to have any children out of wedlock though there were many times I could have and now that I am in Christ sometimes I get this gripping fear that when I do get married and want to start having children that I won't be able to. I know that is a lie from satan and I have to overcome that. I know that God loves me so much and He wants to give me the desires of my heart. Thank you so much for sharing your story. God bless you and praise be to God for the miracle of life only He could have blessed you with. |
