⚠️TRIGGER WARNING⚠️

This episode contains graphic and emotional discussion surrounding miscarriage, pregnancy loss, infertility, and medical trauma. Please listen with care for your heart 🩶

Heidi dreamed of having "the perfect family" for as long as she could remember. Growing up as a minority in a small rural town, Heidi experienced deep wounds, rejection, and brokenness in her childhood---and longed for the day when she could build a complete, loving family of her own.

But although she grew up in Church and believed in God, that dream (over time) slowly began to eclipse Jesus Himself within her heart.

In today's episode, Heidi vulnerably shares her journey through heartbreak, infertility, miscarriage, grief, and devastating loss after going into labor at just 25 weeks pregnant with her daughter. She opens up about the depression that followed, the questions she wrestled with, and how God lovingly revealed that her desire to become a mother had quietly become an idol in her heart 💔

But this testimony doesn't end in despair ⛅

As Heidi surrendered everything back to Jesus, He met her in her grief, restored her faith, surrounded her with community, and reminded her that He is still good---even in suffering. But over time, through a series of unmistakable moments, God promised Heidi that she would one day have a child without medical intervention.

And as He always does, He kept His Word 💗

Today, Heidi is the joy-filled mother of a beautiful little boy, and her story stands as a reminder that God's timing CAN be trusted---because He really is Who He says He is ☀️
