My Journey with Infertility - Phoelicia's Story

Romans 5:3-5 (NKJV) says: And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. In the Bible, there are countless stories of women who waited on God for children from Sarah in the Old Testament, to Elizabeth in the New Testament. Waiting on God for anything is never easy, especially when He has made it clear that it WILL happen, but His timing doesn't align with our own. In those times of waiting, we must know that God is building our character and is also building a testimony that will help others with similar stories. In this episode, I speak with Phoelicia Blagmon about her journey with infertility. You will also hear about: her upbringing as a young girl and growing up in the South, what her college years were like and falling in love during her freshman year, getting married to her college sweetheart and not being able to conceive for 5 years, the health issues that surrounded her and her husband not being able to conceive, what led to her divorce and how she coped with not having children, how she got into another relationship that eventually led to her current marriage and losing her 1st baby, what it was like losing 2 more babies, how she has dealt with not ever having children of her own, the blessing of having 2 step sons and being a "Nana" to her grandchildren, wisdom, encouragement, and advice for others in her shoes, and more!
