Tutu's Testimony

From Heartache to Our Permanent Miracle:

We got married in October 2021, to the glory of God. By March 2022, we discovered we were pregnant, and we were overjoyed. However, at 12 weeks—right before our scheduled hospital scan—we faced the devastation of a miscarriage. We wept and were emotionally crushed, but we turned to prayer, seeking strength and comfort from God and our pastor.

Despite our grief, hope remained alive in our hearts. We planned to wait, heal, and recover, but in God's perfect timing, I became pregnant again.

At six weeks, the scan showed everything was progressing well. But by the 12th week, we experienced another miscarriage. This time was even more confusing and emotionally draining than we ever could have imagined. We never thought we would go through anything like this. Honestly, we were unprepared for what we were facing.

These were not easy times. The second miscarriage occurred around our first wedding anniversary, making the pain even deeper. Still, we clung to the promise in Jeremiah 29:11, believing that God had a future and hope for us.

After the first and second losses, we thought surely this was the end of the struggle. Determined to find answers, we underwent thorough medical check-ups, but everything appeared normal. Then came a third miscarriage. The emotional toll was heavy, and our fears grew—but even amid despair, we stood firm on God's promises, continuing to pray and believe in His miracle-working power.

Through all the pain, God's goodness never left us. He is not a man that He should lie, and we held tightly to that truth.

Then came the fourth pregnancy. We approached it with cautious hope. Making it past the first 12 weeks felt surreal, then the second trimester, and finally the third. God carried us through each stage—and at last, our miracle arrived!

Today, we are living our testimony. Our prayers have been answered—not by our strength, but entirely by God's grace. He spoke to us through people, pastors, friends, and His Word, guiding us step by step into the manifestation of His glory in our lives.

Don't stop trusting. Don't stop waiting on God. Don't turn to unreliable sources for help. Let God be your everything. If He did it for us, He will do it for you too.
