My mission is to support and inspire you through my personal journey of going from singlehood to married and infertile to motherhood. Whether you driven by biology, emotional needs, or social pressures, you may desire marriage and family at some point in your life. But these seemingly simple goals can be surprisingly difficult for you to attain. It can be so easy for you to lose hope in this situation. But keeping the faith is crucial if you truly desire a family. In Journey of Hope: Love, Marriage and Overcoming Infertility at 40, I discuss how I kept going and did not give up. I never lost faith in the God who gives us our dreams and who wants us to live in all the abundance of His creation. Don’t give up on your dreams, whatever they are. You still have time.
Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you” (Matthew 17:20) (NIV)
ABOUT THE BOOK
There are some women who don’t have a desire to get married and have children. However, Samantha was not one of them. Many women in their late 30s and early 40s postpone marriage or childbearing to obtain their education, establish their careers, and become financially secure. Unfortunately, this sometimes leads to difficulties in finding Mr. Right or conceiving (or both). This can be an arduous and heartbreaking time of life, when it seems lifelong hopes and dreams of family may not be possible.
Samantha delayed marriage until the age of 36 after she’d pursued advanced degrees and established her career—not entirely by choice since Mr. Right hadn’t entered her life sooner. At times she wondered if it would ever happen. Once married, she and her husband wanted kids right away, only to suffer a miscarriage and the devastating diagnosis of infertility.
In this book, Samantha shares her extraordinary journey of hope. You will discover how her faith in God and perseverance led her to the right husband and overcoming infertility to have their first baby at 40.
