When it seemed like life was doing all it could to keep me from having the desires of my heart, I was convinced motherhood was a dream that wasn''t meant to be. At least not for me. Obviously, God knew the plans He had for me, but couldn''t He let me in on them in the meantime? Patience is a journey that''s granted from God ... and it was going to take almost a decade and a whole lot of faith and perseverance on my incredible path to becoming a mother.
