Hem Touching Moments

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)
