Welcome to the Called to Love Podcast! 

In this episode, I am joined by a joyful and light-filled author, speaker, and mom: Alice Matagora. Alice shares her story about a painful waiting process, depending on God’s promises. Inspired by this waiting journey, as a new mom Alice wrote the book, “You Are My Miracle”. All children are a miracle from God and this book helps us affirm this truth over our children. Through our conversation, we discuss the miracle it is to be a parent, to raise our kids, and the challenges of the waiting process till that child enters our life. 

Here are a few key take aways: 

• Waiting can be emotionally taxing and filled with uncertainty.
• There can be a lot of grief in infertility. 
• It's important to seek God during times of waiting and uncertainty.
• Community support is crucial for those going through infertility or adoption processes.
• Every child is a miracle, regardless of how they come into a family.
• The journey of waiting can lead to personal growth and deeper faith.
• Parents should communicate to their children how loved and wanted they are.
• It's essential to remember the struggles of waiting even after fulfillment.
• Hope is a continuous journey, not just a destination.
