The little seconds rolled into minutes, minutes into hours, and hours into a day, a day unto night, nights after nights, from the infinite drag of time and on and on, a mother’s heart is longing, continually craving for her baby. Losing someone we loved and worst from us feels like a dagger pointed on our heart feeling the pain every time our heart beats.
I was deeply disheartened on a comment of a colleague on Facebook about their struggle as a couple for artificial insemination for her to get pregnant, yet she just can’t have a baby to cuddle and play with, for 8 years now. Another friend of mine recently posted her story when she experienced premature labor and lost her first baby after 7 months of pregnancy. These are really sad events in life but unfortunately real, stories like these are inevitable and my heart cries out for them.
Even in these modern days there are many women who feel that their finest contribution can be made through marriage and motherhood. Yes! To be a successful mother is a career itself, requiring the qualities of a businesswoman, a chef, a trained nurse, a schoolteacher, and a glamour girl. It can be the most utterly rewarding of all careers. That because we are conditioned this way. The usual pattern of getting married, making preparations of building a home, saving to start a family and learning to accept the painstaking responsibility of becoming a father and mother. Regrettably, with no reason at all, you just can’t have a baby, or it’s just too hard to conceive one. And sometimes, unfortunately, despite of the care and attention you make on that little one inside you, you just can’t keep it, you lost it in just a second of tribulation.
These women had become insecure of not having one, despite all the efforts. They become frustrated and disappointed with life and might be blaming everyone, even God.
I hope in times of trouble and sorrow, your faith will grow with fresh understanding of how God sometimes can turn these miseries to blessings in the future. It can give a deeper meaning permeated on your marriage. As a woman, it is painful but if we look in God’s word we will understand that our emotional and spiritual fitness of undergoing a loss and trouble of conceiving a child will be a blessing to both of you and your partner as well.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18
"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
I shared this verse in noise.cash early this morning and amazing how God amplified His word for the article I was inspired to write tonight.
Again, going back to the life lesson we will learn from this unfortunate reality for some couples, let us just trust in His faithfulness. We might fail to understand our suffering at the moment because of grief, but the things unseen and unfathomable will turn into a blessing, in God's time.
Keep the faith!

My sister-in-law had a lot of miscarriage. 😔 meron na sila first born pero yung mga after nakukunan palagi. APAS ba? Not really sure. But we are all still praying na magkaron pa rin ng kapatid yung anak nila. In God's time we just have to trust His process
