25 | Waiting in Hope through Infertility and Loss | Kelley Ramsey
06/01/22 • 39 min
Join us for a conversation with Kelley Ramsey about waiting in hope through infertility and pregnancy loss. Kelley is the founder of Waiting in Hope Infertility Ministries and has experienced multiple miscarriages and waiting seasons as she has tried to grow her family.
In her heartache, God revealed to her where her true hope really lies—not in a baby—but in her Savior. As she walked with Jesus in her sorrow, she surrendered her desires and trusted God's will for her life. Kelley encourages grieving moms to trust that God knows what is best for them and will use their pain for His glory.
In this episode, we discussed:
- Relying on God in moments of utter despair and sorrow
- Why you need to grieve in order to find healing
- Our identity as mothers and as Christians
- Songs of lament in the middle of the waiting season
- Intimacy with Jesus in our brokenness
- How our neediness leads us to dependence on Christ
- Desiring God's will more than having a baby
- How babies can become idols and what should our hope be in?
- The even-if mentality and coming to a place of surrender
- Heaven's perspective and how it changes us
- More information about the ministry of Waiting in Hope
