from RISE Tayo · host Blanche DiDomenico | Faith-based Life Coach, Nurse, Filipino-American Immigrant

Trigger Warning: This episode contains personal experiences with infertility and may be emotionally sensitive for some listeners. Please listen with care.In this heartfelt and hope-filled episode, Coach Blanche sits down with her sister Icka Gaa to share an intimate conversation about the journey through infertility, faith, and surrender. Her sister opens up about the deep pain of infertility, including a recent medical procedure that did not succeed—yet her heart remains anchored in hope and prayer. She has been diagnosed with PCOS or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. She reflects on how this struggle impacted her first marriage, and how God’s redemptive hand brought her into a new season with a loving, faith-filled husband who walks beside her through every valley.Together, they talk about holding on to God’s promises, drawing strength from the stories of Hannah, Sarah, and Rebekah—women in the Bible who were once barren but later embraced the miracle of motherhood. Her message is a powerful reminder:“Delay is not denial.”If you’re walking through waiting, loss, or longing—this episode is for you. God sees your tears. He hears your prayers. And He is still writing your story. "I will praise you in the waiting!" - Icka Gaa"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Rise Healer Rise with Sara Estelle Sara Turner Rise Healer Rise is a long-running podcast hosted for by Sara Estelle.
