Finding Beauty in the Storm: Our Journey Through Infertility and Faith

Published 2024-02-08
"After a few months of trying to get pregnant, we knew this wasn’t going to be an easy ride. Anyone who’s gone through infertility challenges knows it’s like a storm. It’s a storm of broken dreams and hopes; this storm turned our lives upside down. But we learned that even though these storms were really strong, they pushed us to rely on God even more. We hope that when people see this piece of art, they will see that dark times are a part of life, but you can still find joy and beauty because of Jesus Christ."

    Welp I'm. Sure this was a sign I'm not LDS...yet but been going back and forth for 6 months and I was just thinking of LDS just felt the holy spirit it made me in giggly peace from anxiety and as I'm thinking about filling out form to have them come over and this video pops up ❤

    Me and my wife @loussanna are grateful for this opportunity to share this rollercoaster time of our lives, it was a bit scary to share so openly about these pains that we always remember but also humbling that we could and hope God's love can bring peace to storms to anyone looking for it.
  • I think we can all relate to having disappointment and sadness in life and i love how your heart was softened and changed from being angry to being at peace by turning to Christ and having Him to hold you in those moments.

    I have felt the same peace through the storm of infertility… it’s hard to explain, but you just know it’s going to all be okay because of Jesus Christ and the plan of happiness. It’s still hard, but it’s a beautiful peace you can still have.

    True peace and rest truly do come from Christ, I know this with my whole heart! ❤️

    What a beautiful story and couple. I’m going through a terrible storm in my life right now with my 43 yr old son who is sick with a heart condition. I yelled out mad at heavenly father. Why is he letting this happen but then I remember the covenant that I made with him , on the day of my baptism, to have trust, believe in him, have hope and love him no matter what! So im leaving my child’s life in his hands, and I know that he will get us through this, God bless this couple always! Love from New York😇❤️
  • Pray for me i need God today and to just be healed and above all bad with Him in prayer and together and i need communication i need my Heavenly family❤ also pray for me and one girl and that we could be friends. Thank you❤

    I love this!!!! It is good to know that no matter what you’re going through, God will be with you if you turn to Him!!!! Over my 17 years of life, I have had struggles, and I have dealt with depression and OCD. Though these struggles are debilitating and hard, I have had many experiences where even when I feel alone and broken that Heavenly Father is with me through those hard things when I allow Him to help me through these struggles!!!! He has given me the strength to persevere through these struggles!!!!My struggles haven’t gone away, I still have hard stuff going on, but I can see Heavenly Fathers hand in my life when I’m focusing on the good in life!!!!! I am able to get through every day!!!! Heavenly Father loves you!!!!! He will give you the strength to make it through your trials if you turn to Him!!!! I love you guys!!!!! Keep persevering, and allow Heavenly Father to give you strength to persevere even when things are hard!!!!! I love you guys!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    Thank you for sharing your beautiful journey. The Lord is most definitely with us in the thick of the storms of life, that is so true ❤
  • Such a beautiful story and artwork, Loussanna and Willem-Paul! Thank you for sharing 🙂You two inspire me!

    This is the issue that began to open my eyes to the depth of the attack on the family. The modern, industrialized lifestyle that is making us so unhealthy that producing families, let alone thriving ones, is an increasing challenge. I dealt with PCOS for the first year of marriage before even getting a diagnosis. Conceived shortly after, but even then, I've struggled with my health, and watched my children struggle with theirs. It's getting worse every generation. This time with a young family has been some of the most miserable years of my life, in some ways, and it shouldn't be like that. We need strong faith, and strong bodies. Natural, nutritious, well-prepared food. Lots of joyful movement. Few distractions. Start now. It's so much harder to change this late in the game.

    Your story is beautiful and your artwork. I am so happy you have a darling family now and to everyone still trying, the Lord is aware of your pain❤️
  • I met these two on my mission! Willem-Paul just came home from his mission while I was serving in his home ward. He is amazing, and I’ve always admired and respected him.

    I know this video will be triggering to some, because despite their heartfelt, desperate prayers, the ending they want may not be like this video. They may never get pregnant. It may be fertility issues, not having found a person to have children with, or a plethora of other reasons. Just know God doesn’t love or trust you any less. Some waits do go into the next life, but all this pain you feel now, will be taken and you will have your dream. Have faith in God, in His timing and His love for you. He has NOT, and WILL NOT forget you and you will have so many blessings, more than you can count, if you just keep going and Trust in him. Change your prayer to ask for healing, to know He’s there and aware of you. Then listen. One day you will be a parent. No righteous desire is held back from those who put Him first. You will be a parent, even if it’s in the next life.🤍 Remember in eternity this life is but a nano second 🤍. So don’t give up. This pain is temporary 🤍

    Dear father God I love you with all my heart❤✝️❤️😇🙏👈
  • @paulwright6293
    My wife and I have struggled with fertility issues both before and after having our only child who arrived almost 18 years after our marriage. I would just say never give up and never stop trying. Sometimes the miracle comes and other times it doesn’t. But it is up to us who have had the miracle to witness God’s power that others might have hope.
