When I found out I was pregnant, I felt numb. I was so scared and angry at God. It felt like He had abandoned me when I needed Him most. Then I heard about Embrace Grace from a coworker when I was about seven or eight weeks pregnant. I joined because I wanted a group of women who believed in the Lord. Even though I had lost faith and was upset at God, I longed for Him deeply. I had family support, a career, and had graduated college, but what I was really missing was my faith.
Embrace Grace gave me peace and renewed my faith. I realized I lost faith because I was trying to control everything and put too much pressure on myself. I learned that God is gentle and gracious, full of love, and always looking out for me. He has a plan to prosper me, not to harm me, and He sent His Son to die for me. Even though I have made mistakes, God can turn things around for good. Now, I no longer have anxiety and fully trust God with my life. Thank you, Embrace Grace, for showing me God’s love and grace even when I am not perfect. I am now 23 weeks pregnant and very excited to meet my son, Ezra Reign.
