This episode Jess, goes into detail to explore a topic all too familiar to hundreds of thousands of women. Did you know this heartbreaking statistic: 1 in 4 women suffer from miscarriages and 1 in 6 couples experience infertility. As a woman, you feel incomplete not being able to get pregnant or carry a baby to term. Think of Hannah in the Bible. As devastating as it was, she couldn’t conceive. But her true heartbreak came from Peninnah who taunted her for being barren to the point of despair, much like today. Common place society subtly shames women who can’t or don’t have children without offering compassion for the reasons why. Perhaps it’s a personal choice, a medical condition or a bodily function that’s not allowing for pregnancy and motherhood. But looking further into Hannah’s story, we see her torment turn into a desperate prayer and that desperation turned into a vow and praise. As God has promised in His word, He draws near to the brokenhearted and in this case, blessed Hannah with a son. That gift from miscarriage to live birth has been blessed to many women since and today we explore the beauty of God’s Grace and the infertile womb.
