This is testimony from the first person to answer our survey. We will be sharing one of these
testimonies once a month. I’m praying these will help others.
I’ve always believed in Jesus and trusted that His way is better, but this year my faith became
real in a new way. My husband and I were married in September 2024, and we had always
dreamed of starting a family. In April 2025, we were overjoyed to see a positive pregnancy test.
We prayed, planned, and shared the excitement with our families.
Just weeks later, everything changed. I woke up one morning in severe pain, and deep down I
knew something was wrong. At the hospital, the doctor gently told me it was likely a
miscarriage—and later, an ultrasound confirmed there was no baby. The grief was
overwhelming. I felt guilt, shame, and heartbreak, even blaming myself for something I couldn’t
control.
That night, sitting on the bathroom floor, I cried out to God asking “why.” In that broken
moment, I had what I can only describe as my “hem touching moment.” I felt Him gently remind
me: “Trust Me. In My perfect timing, you will have a family.”
From that point on, I chose to trust Him more deeply. Through the pain, God carried me. He is
still guiding me, reminding me that He is the way, the truth, and the life.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your
ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5–6)

Count it all joy,
Oh boy!
Even in the winter
When I feel all the splinters?
When I’m on the path
But can’t see the map?
Tilling the soil
My soul boils
Purify
Oh so sly
Gentle whispers
That glitter
Planting seed
BUT I NEED
You say no,
Just go slow
Your voice
By choice
Over the noise
Will I rejoice
Eyes on you
‘Till all turns blue
The days
That fade
Into peace
So sweet
Here and now
I see, wow
My Father
won’t falter
The past
Is smashed
Allowing the new
To break through
His fruit
Do not mute
Displayed
For days
On end
That don’t bend
Salvation
From creation
Was God’s plan
In this land
Our soul
Unfolds
The bowl
Overflows
His love
From above
Is the key
That bends our knee
Under your wings
I sing
Let all flock
Take stock
In his path
You don’t need the map
Accept his love
From above
Unlock your heart
And he’ll start
To mend
And lend
You courage
Not discourage
Breakdown
The frown
Open the gate
Choose Him as your mate

Snow flake
Not fake
A unique
Physique
The creator
A mentor
Whose mind
Is not blind
How much more
With out a bore
Will people
Point to the steeple
As we seek unity
In community
Like gold
In a mold
After the refinement
And lament
Purifies
Pulling away lies
That make fellowship
Stumble and trip
A peace
That leaves
The mind
Just fine
At the temple
We fall
In awe
Of the law
That’s perfect
And select
As the lords will
Instills
We bend
And blend
Flowing
As a covering
Thinly spread
without leadDisplay
Without delay
The view
Without a pew
The LORD’s power
In the flower
Cheribim
Not on a whim
And palm trees
As we bend our knees
Show the world
We don’t just twirl
The gold
Will be told
It’s shape
Not fake
A message
Secret passage
To make the seas
Bend their knees
A revival
Without rival
Fulfill the commission
As our mission

This church speaks life into my heart. It’s white and nestled beautifully within a colorful landscape of trees near Hastings, MI. Alison shared during a women’s gathering called “Nurture”. If you live in the area or traveling through, be sure to stop by at 6pm on the third Wednesday of the month to experience “Nurture” for yourself. Regular attendee’s are known for caring deeply, showing up authentically and loving well.
