While pregnant with my oldest son I had an ultrasound and the tech saw something and called another tech in to confirm what the first tech saw. They wouldn't tell me anything but told me the doctor would call me. The doctor stated my sons foot was turned funny so a 2nd ultrasound was needed. That ultrasound confirmed my son would be born with a club foot. My mom told the assistant pastors wife who prayed for my son and she told me God is going to move and my son's foot would be fine. My son was born and his foot was fine as she said it would be because God told her it would be. There is power in prayer and God hears the prayers of the righteous and honors them. I'm praying God will bless you and that He will give you the desires of your heart. He's faithful and that's why He's worthy of our praise.

Been married 10 years and when we first got married we found out that I couldn’t « carry a baby » (long story). My husband would put his hand on my belly and just pray and declare the blood of Jesus because we knew God had promised us children. 10 years on and we have 3 beautiful children, 3 very contested pregnancies BUT 3 very healthy children. Keep the faith and pray. What God promises he will fulfil. Don’t lose hope and trust HIS timing. In the meantime enjoy your marriage. You’re a wonderful couple. Thanks for being so open and vulnerable, I pray your courage will be received with grace. ❤❤

As someone with PCOS and ovarian cysts who had her first baby 21mos ago at 34 please don’t be discouraged. What’s for you is what’s for you. Just remain positive and enjoy trying. As soon as you stop worrying about it. IT WILL HAPPEN FOR YOU!!! It took me almost 2.5yrs to conceive and I’d stopped trying the last year and got the greatest surprise. You and Johnathan are in my prayers

[@GodzChosen2k10]

I wanted to get pregnant like 6 months after I got married…. I got pregnant 2 years later…. At that time my husband and I were not on good terms. We were literally on the cusp of divorce and then bam. I know that was God’s timing. She brought so much joy to our marriage and brought us closer together…. She’s now 4 and right after I had her I got pregnant again… she was like 6 months when I found out I was pregnant with him… Trusting God can be a lot but his timing is everything! And once you have your first one they’re going to keep coming! Praying for you!!!

[@BetweenTheWallsPod]

ahh God is so intentional!! i love this for you guys!!

[@GodzChosen2k10]

He is… And We’ll never be able to fathom how or why he does the things that he do, but I’m grateful.

[@edneisha.]

Jess I had two miscarriages and couldn’t get pregnant for 4 years ! And BOOM I got pregnant and had a healthy pregnancy and gave birth to my daughter in 2021. I thought it was due to infertility (I did have fibroids) but that wasn’t the case. I had to let go and let God do his thing. Girl y’all’s baby is already picked out by God he is just waiting for his time to provide. You will be a mother TRUST I know you will ❤.

[@chardaywynn1273]

Just to share a little of my fertility story. In Feb 2020 I had an ultrasound (I thought I was pregnant) turned out I had cysts on my ovaries the doctor turned the screen towards me and explained it and then after the ultrasound he explained to me that I had many symptoms of PCOS and it would very hard to conceive and if I did I wouldn't be able to carry to term In July I was menstruating and had VERY SEVERE pain and I actually went to the ER. Another ultrasound was done and all of my cysts had ruptured. October 2020 I found out I was almost 3 months pregnant. I had completely given up on the idea of having children. I was happy and terrified because yes I conceived but I remembered that doctor saying I wouldn't carry to term. My baby boy came at exactly 40 weeks 21inches 8lbs3oz (healthy and chunky) and his sister followed suit in December 2022 I say all of this to say everything is truly in God's timing ❤

[@tishbarber1937]

My husband and I waited 12 years for our daughter. The wait was HARD, but Father's (God's) timing is PERFECT! You may not understand it now, but I am a witness that you will understand it later! Stay encouraged and continue to trust Father. 💞

[@twinmom6009]

Watching my friends have their healthy, beautiful babies after I miscarried my first pregnancy was the hardest thing. But God had a plan for me. I just didn't know. But I was pregnant with my super intelligent, handsome, talented twin sons 8 weeks after my miscarriage. I have faith in God that He will bless you at the right time with your baby that He has already assigned to you. 🙏🏽❤️

[@NeshaJay]

For some people, no matter what it is, if you desire something so badly, pray about it and let go. Truly let it go and let God. Because once you believe and have faith, TAKE THE WORRY out and just be. It'll come when God wants you to have it 🙏🏾

[@kettanistar]

Best and hardest advice to hear. Draw closer to Him, stop worrying, praise him, stay prayerful, and keep the faith. It's His Will and not yours that shall be done. When you live like this, life is more peaceful and in line with God's plan. I am speaking from a place of not having the control I wanted, but when I let go and let God, things changed for me. Thank you Jesus for my testimony!

[@Mrs.CryssieJ]

I was crying with you Jess , me and my husband are also struggling to conceive but believing God for our children to come soon . We have been married for 14yrs and yes the waiting on God to bless us with our own Children is very hard . Thank you for both your transparency I will keep you and Johnathan in my prayers love you guys ❤

[@tfife]

7 years of waiting for me and I’ve experienced all of the stages, sad, angry, loss of faith, “don’t care” and completely given up. I’m starting to come back around to the idea again and possibly trying again (doctors never found anything wrong with me or my husband). This time I’m going into it without the pressure and truly letting God lead. Thanks for this, I feel seen and I pray it happens for you guys.

At 18 I had a cyst on my right ovary and it was removed and I was diagnosed with endometriosis. I was placed on birth control to regulate it. At 24 years of age with one ovary and endometriosis I became pregnant with my Son. A few years later I had my Daughter. To God be the Glory!🙌🏽 There are many ways to get to Chicago. Many roads lead there. This is your path to pregnancy. Right where God wants you to be. Continue to Trust His plan and your path. 😊🙏🏽

[@mimi-pb5gn]

This is so encouraging for someone who also had cysts removed through operations, suffered from PCOS, fibroid, had endometriosis diagnosis at 21 & doctors said my right ovary was clamped by endometriosis. I’m now 37 had my son at 25 & been praying for another child. Indeed God’s timing is best & will continue to trust in his timing.

A young & old lady whose wanting/desiring to be a Mother needed to hear this, so TY for your vulnerability. My Husband and I tried for 3 years, got married when I was 35. I woke up on my 38th bday and cried out to God to please bless my womb. I had a 18 yr old son but my Husband and I didn’t have any biological children together. The Elders at my church were touching & agreeing with me in prayer. My baby boy just turned 10 on May 3. You keep TRUSTING GOD! BELIEVING GOD! SERVING GOD! I’m already excited for your miracle!! 🙏🏾💙💖

[@rebeccahenry8014]

Proverbs 18:21 says, “Life and death are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat its fruit”. You both need to speak LIFE! There is LIFE in your womb in Jesus Name but please do not idolize having a baby! The reason your waiting could be because you haven’t been content in the your season your in. Practice patience and casting ALL your cares on Jesus! Trust that He has your best interest at heart ❤️ Wonderful podcast! Just remember to praise Him even in your hurt. He’s (Jesus) is your strength in weakness!

Jess do not give up! Hang on you your faith. As someone with blocked tubes I feel this to the core. I have been trying for almost a decade and I finally decided to do IVF and just found out I’m pregnant yesterday. I’m overjoyed and I’m praying and believing God for you and your husband. It will for sure happen in his due time 💕

[@rdesigns2024]

Hey Jess To share my experience with your situation. This is long but I hope you and hubby read until the end. My husband and I tried for almost 5 years before we had our 1st biological child. The doctors did diagnose me with POS and my periods were always irregular, but I never paid any attention to it before we were trying to have a baby. We tried all the fertility treatments except for invitro. It was a rough journey, but it only happened after we relaxed and let God. Enjoy your husband in the waiting and do all you can afford to do until God is ready for you to expand your family. It is going to be rough, especially when you hear about people getting pregnant whom you don't think deserves too... girl that is going to eat you to pieces. But shed your tears sis. Then perk yourself back up and keep on living. I have a cousin who didn't take care of any of her kids, and I know that because I took her 2nd child and then she had a 3rd, and that child came to me every weekend, every holiday and every summer break until she stopped coming. Then my cousin had a 4th child around the same time I was trying to get pregnant and get this she was almost 50 years old, and I was in my early 30. When I heard she was pregnant yet again I really felt like God was confused about who to bless with children. I cried like someone had died and my heart ached in my chest. A few years later my husband and I found we were 2 or 3 months pregnant. It was so random we got different due date every time I had a scan. We couldn't even pinpoint when it happened. Now we have 3 beautiful kids (16, 14, and 12 years old) along with the adopted son we had before. Yes, when the flood gates opened the kids kept coming. Only God knows when your situation is right for you to start your family. In the meantime, love God and love on your husband. My personal advice for you though is to get rid of the pregnancy tests they will keep you anxious and you don't need that in your life.

[@BetweenTheWallsPod]

Ah this is beautiful!! I could def understand how you felt, not that i am in that situation but i would have been so confuseddd like hello GOD?? lol but he is super faithful!

[@jazzyprather]

I have pcos too

[@Melaninchicx]

Wow, this is beautiful!!!

[@Mrs.Harris21]

I love this. And it’s definitely something I needed hear. What a blessing to end your journey the way God saw fit for you and your Husband. What a awesome God he is❤

[@LDavis1293]

I found out I had pcos in 2017 when I was 23...it broke my heart because ive always seen myself with my own family. Ive been married for 6 years, together for 8. My Husband said he was told when he was younger having kids would more than likely not be a possibility. We both still hold onto the hope that it will happen but we agreed to not stress about it and let God be in control. If it doesnt happen, we will live out life loving each other and continue to live our lives together. We will give love to other peoples children. We raised my sister from the age of 8 til now (shes 14) and she's been a missing piece in a way since my mother died in 2018. I find myself wishing we would get pregnant soon but stressing about it hurts worse so I just try to keep it pushing. I have cried many nights in the beginning when we first started trying 7 years ago. Love you Jess, stay strong ❤️ I know its hard.

[@RadiantRose217]

I started to comment in the beginning of the podcast, but the Lord told me to wait. Now that I’ve finished, I don’t need to say anything, you both get it. Just wait on him, he’s letting you know he sees you and your desires 🙏🏽 🙏🏽.

[@candance724]

When you said I don’t want to call it infertility. I said exactly don’t call it that it’s just not in GOD timing. Think about it .Just bcuz u think your ready for something doesnt mean your ready for what you prayed for. God is not making you wait he’s preparing you. I just watched your vlog last night and you said “I don’t know if I have enough space in my heart for a kid” bcuz u are so full from your nieces and nephews. God knows that so maybe he’s prepping your heart and making space for your child, testing if how bad you really want a baby, so when the time comes you do have a baby you put in so much effort and preparation that then you have space in your heart and appreciation for him or her! God knows better than us! Now let me finish watching cuz I’m only 7 mins in

[@joyous1011]

Yes, I was remembering she said too! Its all about timng

[@chastityraggs1453]

God is definitely a healer... at the age of 19, I found out I was pregnant, 2 days after we buried my dad. Throughout my pregnancy, my doctors told me that my baby would come out blind because of an STD that I had, due to my partner/ ex-husband. I was told that I would need laser surgery before my baby was born. I went home, cried and prayed and asked God to work a miracle in me. At 8 mths pregnant, I went into early labor, and I had to tell the hospital ( different hospital), about what was going on. They took an ultrasound and checked me out, and said they didn't see anything. I was so relieved and thankful!!! God is awesome and He Is a healer, and whatever you need him to be. Just be patient J&J, your time is coming!!! Thank you for sharing... love you guys!!!

[@justcocoatv2336]

I definitely understand. I never thought about kids or being married.Until one day I woke up with the strongest urge to have a baby. Like I was in tears every night saying I don’t want to live life if I can’t have a baby. I would get emotional seeing other people with their kids. Then I became jealous seeing people around me getting pregnant so easily. I have pcos and hadn’t had any periods for months. Plus we weren’t being safe in the 5 years we’d been married. Once we decided to try I told my doctor. She gave me medicine to bring on my periods. I started working on my health. And I prayed hard. Like I said “God please! I just want a baby for my birthday. I want a baby with my color that looks like his daddy. That’s all I want.” I took the medicine for 3 weeks and worked out. My doctor scheduled my husband for testing to see if he could have kids. Out of nowhere my mother started telling me she had a dream about fish. I was in denial but tested anyway. I was actually pregnant. It honestly made me believe prayer works. Especially when the baby looked just how I prayed he would. I still don’t even feel like I deserved for God to answer my prayers the way He did. I’m long winded but I say all that to say, keep the faith. God has you and prayer works. Keep praying and stay faithful.

[@HoneyBrown831]

Sounds like the first doctor's office needs to be reported to the medical board for ethics violations. They were trying to to get paid at your expense with a false diagnosis. Good thing you got a new doctor to work with. You will be more blessed than you can handle in no time. No worries Jess and Jonathan. God's got you.

[@BetweenTheWallsPod]

Right like idk what they were doing but glad I don't have to deal with them any longer. Looking forward to what God has for us

[@carmenshirley4886]

Speaking as a practicing physician, it is not that “ we don’t want to help you yet.” It’s more of expressing that it is “normal” to not get medically concerned until 12 mo of not getting pregnant. Also we physicians also do not want to cause emotional stress during this journey because stress also affects the natural process.

[@IvyElizabeth918]

I understand that. However, the first OB’s office was completely wrong for not contacting her when it came to the irregular ultrasound.

[@angelacopeland2809]

Jessica, don't get discouraged. What God has for you and your husband is just for the two of you. My husband and I tried for ten years to have a baby. I had tons of procedures and surgeries questioning God, then we did IVF, and our first cycle, I got pregnant and had a healthy baby boy who is now 15 years old. God has a plan for our lives. Just stay the course, and he will give us our hearts' desires. I will continue to pray for both of you 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾

[@rhondagoodwin5711]

The ending summed it. Allow our father to hold us in His arm and rest in His will.❤

[@mmabohlalem]

A lot of hearts will be healed by this one, hopefully a lot of people will see why it’s important to just stay out of peoples wombs. I relate to you on so many levels. Sending love and light to you both God is working so much in your life 🙌🏾🙌🏾❤️

[@BetweenTheWallsPod]

Thank you so so much!

[@ladyt3182]

I’ve never experienced this, but I pray for everyone who’s waiting for their bundle of joy.. I definitely understand, my sister and her husband went through the same situation. I have a friend who waited to get pregnant as well, and when she relaxed and stopped thinking about it…. It happened! My mom advised us to wait awhile because my husband was in college, I definitely understood after not waiting, our daughters have been giving the same advice. We were blessed with 5 daughters, but I definitely advise everyone to wait at least 2 years, depending on your situation. We have a 33, 30, 28, 19,19 , . I always tell my daughters not to assume that it will be the same journey for them.

[@simoujoelle9466]

I understand exactly how you feel. Most days, i will wake up from bed crying, because i was praying and crying in my dreams. The Lord has done it for me. I am carrying the fruit of my womb.

I pray that on your last one out of that 50 will be positive!!!!!! In Jesus’ Name ! Thanks for sharing. The wait is just a building up of the great news.

[@Jairdopecakedealer]

You aren't alone sister. We've been married 5 years and we(meaning me) continuously get that question.i had to shut my mothers(his/mines) and friends to stop asking me. It highly insensitive. The doc told us if you've been trying after a year since we need to run some test. But my new OB told me it's going to happen. Just enjoy your husband. Just as God has filled you with his spirit. He will do the same with your womb. Be encouraged. Hannah, Sarai, naiomi are all amazing biblical stories to connect with during this season of trying for the baby. Thank you so much for you and Jonathan's vulnerability. Praying for yall ❤️

[@Jairdopecakedealer]

Let me clarify we haven't been trying for 5 years, but consistently, the last year and half

[@Denise_Cocoa]

When Jonathan read Isaiah 40:28 I burst into tears 😭 I didn’t know I needed that 💛

[@NiqLT]

I haven’t finished the podcast but I’m an embryologist in a reproductive clinic/lab and I just want you to know that you’re not alone. I think women tend to take the weight of fertility without realizing sometimes the male could play a part too. I would recommend Jonathan get a semen analysis if he’s comfortable, just to make sure everything is ok on his end. Sometimes you might just need a little more time too, but don’t beat yourself up. Fertility treatments and the talk of infertility is becoming more normalized since we are waiting a little longer to have babies.

[@FreeStyleGospel_]

You get pregnant when you least expect it. You have to let it go! I took prenatals and just kind of manifested it on accident just believing In it and letting it go and two/three months later I was pregnant! Seemed like when I was TRYING it didn’t work but when I didn’t try it came to me. I also prayed to God for my second baby and left it in his hands. You got this babe. God will give it to you when you’re truly ready.

[@Brunette117]

I find it very disrespectful to ask someone when you will be pregnant, why you do not have kids yet. What about if we turn that question into a prayer request. May God give you the strength that you need .

This hit home. Husband and I have been trying for 3 years now 4 failed cycles at the fertility clinic. I can’t bring myself to take anymore medication I pray that God shows us the way. The worst thing in the world is when someone points out my age (32) and ask about children .

Jess I really appreciate you being so transparent and what you are going through. I had my first child a month of not trying, but after I got very sick. 4 years later I was told I had PCOS and cysts on my ovaries and that I would only have more kids through IVF but not naturally. I was very much heartbroken and cried my eyes out but I prayed and the Lord promised me through His word that I would have another baby. In 2023 I had my second baby. I waited 10 years to have my second child and I got retested and found out I never had PCOS only non diabetic insulin resistance. The Lord opened my womb and closed my womb for all the right reasons. I am absolutely grateful to the Lord that He gave me grace to wait upon Him and fully trust Him and He delivered. I am praying for you two and May the Lord bless y'all with a baby.. ❤❤

Jonathon said "sorry I'm rambling" and I was like NO KEEP ON!!! Sending love to you both. Our Father is so faithful and He holds your hearts and sees you. El Roi cares for you. Thank you for your commitment to sharing the realities of walking with Jesus.

[@rockae85]

Jonathan is so wise OMG!!!!!

[@brittneya__]

1.) Jit is a south Florida thing. Lol, I said it to a coworker and she looked at me like I was crazy. (live in Dallas now) 2.) Thank you both for being honest and transparent in this season, I know it was not easy. 3.)After watching this podcast a lot of Jess's vlogs are making sense. Lastly, the best is yet to come for both of you and can't wait for the next podcasts.

[@shannah2609]

I realized from the on/gyn appointments. She is one I always look forward to on KZbin. Hope you get the baby soon

[@beamgeorges3607]

Not just south Florida. I think it’s an all over Florida thing because we say it in central FL

[@avaree]

So… help a non-Floridian out…. What is it? 😂😂😂

[@brunebynature]

I'm so sorry that you have to go through this. I have endometriosis and I was not diagnosed until I was scheduled for a hysterectomy. By the time I had surgery the cells had spread all on my uterus , stomach , and as well on parts of my intestine. I was told Ultra Sounds have a difficult time detecting endometriosis. I walked around for years with endo and did not know until I went under the knife. I was thankful that I was able to have one son in my 20's but after that I couldn't even think about having more kids. I wish you the best, It will all work out.

May God open up your womb this year and give you a beautiful healthy baby

Johnathan stopped everything to get you a tissue 🥹💖 and complimented your makeup afterwards, A Man !

[@sali6522]

Please Read!❤ So I overheard my aunt talking about how she got pregnant😅 I was still too young for that conversation. Anyway, I was having issues getting pregnant, and I used her method and it worked. **After s-x, get to your bed or couch and tilt your body upside down, with your buttocks in the air. You may have a tilted womb and the sp-rm needs help traveling there. It works.

[@shawtyinchanel]

My husband and I did the same thing! We wanted to enjoy our first year of marriage and started trying after our one year anniversary. We got pregnant on our second anniversary trip, exactly one year of trying. Right before the doctor wanted to do more test. I know the struggles but trust God’s timing. Our son is such a blessing and His timing lined up and made so much sense once my son was here. ❤ Praying for you both!

[@slikvik237238vl]

Whew chile, when you said you’re the poster child for waiting, I FEEL THAT! I’m in a waiting season as well. Not the same waiting season as you though. I can relate to the “God, what about me” feeling. You are not alone❤

[@Iam.AshNicole_]

Jess you told us you cried BUT Babe I didn’t know it was going to affect MEEE like this because I have children who are almost 19 and 18 years old and I would LOVE to have more kids but of course this time I want to be Married. I’ve been engaged 3 times but they weren’t meant for me so I ended it and I’m now 38 with 2 children out of wedlock and dreaming and wanting to be married… But I know God is working on me to make me perfectly imperfect for my Husband 🖤 This touched me in sooo many ways I didn’t know how much I needed to hear this!!!!!!! Thank you to The Wallace’s #betweenthewalls

[@BetweenTheWallsPod]

my good sisss, i completely understand that and I know God hears and cares about those desires of your heart!!

[@Iam.AshNicole_]

Amen sissss this is why I still and will always support and continue to watch your vlogs, podcasts and follow your streams! ♥️ I must say I absolutely LOVED how Jonathan supported and comforted you while you were speaking. God sent you him for sure ♥️

[@Omega7ish]

It’s in the waiting that I think we find our strength. I agree Jess he has given us so many good gifts. I will rest in the hands of the father and wait well. Prayers will continue to go up for y’all in your waiting season. I’m leaving this podcast encouraged and full! 🙏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾 God is good all the time even in our waiting ❤ Thank you both for sharing your journey.

[@BetweenTheWallsPod]

thank youuuu

[@Bkrunz]

Long story short, God blessed me with 2 children after 5 miscarriages. I’ve seen 3 infertility specialists and was told that my uterine fibroids were the issue and recommended I have extensive surgery to remove them. I had my son after three losses Without the surgery and my daughter after the other 2 losses. Believe that God can do great things and as a good father He hears you and is able to do miraculous things

[@sstpreux20]

All of your feelings are valid. I have PCOS, it took 4 years for us to conceive. Now we are about to celebrate our 7th year anniversary with 2 beautiful babies (2 under 2). One of the best advices I have received looking back, enjoy each other while trying! Travel, work on yourself, it’s your time to be selfish. In our case we did get pregnant when we stopped stressing about trying. God is faithful and He always fulfill his promises 🙏🏾 praying for you both!

[@akeidawright7081]

It took me 6 years. We been together 10 years

[@MyYouthfulLongevity]

I had my first baby at 50 after 10 years of fibroids, diminished ovarian reserve, cysts, endo, failed traditional adoption, it was one thing after another. I had a doctor try to tell me to get a hysterectomy, thank God I didn't listen to her. God is faithful, it will happen for you.

[@lucindakamfer7117]

Hi Jess and Johnathan, I was listening to this like I was telling my own story. My husband and I were held bend on only trying after we got married. Long story short we fell pregnant about a year into our marriage and 8 weeks later I had an ectopic pregnancy that should’ve claimed my life but God put that very difficult lesson on our path and it became my test. I remember crying during my prayers and asking God what I did wrong to deserve something so traumatic happening to me. He answered me and said “be still and know that I am God , I will never place a rock in your path that you cannot overcome. “ I held onto those words and a year and a half later God answered our prayer. I’m expecting my little miracle baby and I just wanted to share in hopes that whoever needs to hear this God’s timing is everything even if we don’t understand. ❤

[@awp8331]

Married for five years and we got pregnant in year three going on four. The MOST HIGH is in control of that. Stop rushing it pray and leave it in HIS hands. Also I never was pregnant before got pregnant at age 36 and my husband was 56.

[@arlenejones1986]

Fast - reset the body.....then "pray and stay"😊 an extended fast not a regular smegular fast

[@BKbyShonaB]

Thank you both for being so transparent on this delicate subject. I have been where you are and it's not easy at all. Feel your emotions but don't allow them to take over. Blessings to you and your family 💕

[@BetweenTheWallsPod]

Thank you!

[@barbie1397]

Love. It’s not infertility. It’s changing the things that’s blocking your fertility energy from fully flowing. I just feel that in my soul. I watched the Toni Braxton movie yesterday, and 30 minutes in, when Toni’s character was getting all glammed up and she realized that she had a pimple, the stylist said I have this pimple remover liquid thing...sorry can’t remember the name or description of the product...and the stylist say if you are planning on having a baby within a year don’t use it. Love if someone give you a disclaimer like that, DON’T USE it AT ALL!!!! You use all these chemical products on your skin, and you have no idea what the health implications are. Go natural with all your products luv. DETOX, DETOX, DETOX. YOU ARE FERTILE--haha, as I am typing this you are saying “do you believe in speaking things into existence” . Agree with Jonathan “Your Words Matter”. It’s vibration love. Your thoughts and intentions are energy too. They all matter. Your actions matter too. Please start making some actions with these chemically products. I love Jonathan saying “We” even he said “We not pregnant”.

[@TinaMw]

I love love this video. It spoke to me so much, thank you for being so vulnerable and open, as you said these are conversations most people share after the blessing, I applaud your courage and boldness to share this. Your story is very similar to mine, I got married at around the same time as you, April 22, we have been trying for a year and nothing yet. I can relate to you Jess asking yourself 'why do I want kids' because that's something as I have gone through this journey I keep thinking about. I really struggle with that because every time I get my period and cry, that question always haunts me, somehow I seem to think I need to have the perfect answer so that I can justify my emotions. But sometimes it is just a natural thing, even women in the Bible cried due to infertility, Hannah cried out to God and begged Him for a child, It is natural to desire children and as women going through this I think we need to give ourselves grace and be kinder to ourselves. There's so much I could write, I really resonated with almost everything you spoke about because I have thought it and have also gone through it. I am amazed how similar our stories are. I also went through a 'diagnosis' of endometriosis but when I went to a different doctor I was told everything is fine, I was so confused because I questioned if God had truly healed me from the first doctor's visit to the second, but I love what Jonathan said, God still shows His glory even in times of waiting. I have truly seen that. I think the comfort I get from watching this video is knowing that I am not alone, that there other people going through this.

[@rockae85]

Jonathan hit the nail on the head!!!!!! Im sitting saying the same thing!!!! Please appreciate the season you are in! And God is teaching you patience!!! Lol...... something you definitely need with those little humans!!!! I truly feel like yall KZbin Auntie since I'm 57!!!!❤❤

[@shantiasands2744]

Come on now Pastor Jonathan!!! God bless both of you and be encouraged. He's definitely going to give you your heart's desire! This was a blessing!

[@sydneisimmons8663]

I have a son. But I always think about why god can sometimes bless parents who don’t even want kids, but then the couple who have tried so much to have a kid sometimes cannot have one. So I get where she is coming from. Even as a mom already I get frustrated when friends who try to have one can’t. I wish you both the best on your journey and have faith that God will bless y’all when the time is right!

[@TashBrianne]

I know you’ve heard this time and time again, but God’s timing is so perfect. I’ve been with my husband for 15 years, high school sweetheart, we weren’t not trying by any means and we just had our first baby last year. I’m also 32 and I always was like why am I not getting pregnant. Looking back I wasn’t ready. Sometimes I don’t even think I’m ready now but girl, God’s got you.

[@rstevens1693]

I'm in the field of medicine, if your ultrasound is clear you may need a Hysterosalpingogram and/or Hysteroscopy to get a closer look at the uterus and to assure your tunes are patent. Often times after these diagnostics, pregnant happens. I am older and have children your age, but I also have a teenager. My older kids were conceived as expected, however when we agreed to have a later baby, we ran into a situation where I couldn't conceive.....to my surprise !We tried for a year (which is typical before fertility therapy starts). We had to do IVF and have a beautiful son soon to be 18. God is good. I say al that to say that even in the uncertainty, we are thankful that God sees over the mountain and around the corner, whereas we can't. I would have never thought IVF would be me, but there is so much beauty in the process and the revealing of God's plan and goodness in retrospect of things we missed and couldn't see in the process. God will make a way Jess....keep praying and walking. This is your beautiful journey and it will all be worth it in due season. Thank you for sharing your heart and you and Johnathans journey.

[@elizabethdavis8610]

Alright because i had to respond again!!! MY GOD! Your husband is truly anointed!! I was finna go off on a full on praise break in my living room! It was when he started talking at this time lapse yall - 36:43 to 42:18!!!!! Glory!

[@talitha1997]

Thank you so much for sharing, me and my husband are currently in a similar position. Eagerly awaiting each month is soo hard and I completely understand what you mean 3 close friends from our chuch got married the same year as us (2023) and two of them are pregnant. Like you said this season has really helped me to wait on the Lord. He hears our prayers we simply have to trust in his providence and timining. Praying for you girl thank you being an encouragement to me and Im sure many others ❤

[@yazminfrances]

it's encouraging to hear you two talk about something like this! i'm 28 single MBA grad and i cannot date the way the world dates. so i'm waiting, and i feel like i don't have control over this as much as you two feel like you cannot have a baby. praying for the Lord to have His way with our lives in ways that will glorify His name in the name of Jesus!!!

[@ijeomamusuanyanwu]

Thank God for His grace on your lives.🙏Jess, you already have what you asked for in prayer.🥰What you all need to do now is to believe it by switching over to thanksgiving..🙌💃🏻Every single day lay your hand on your abdomen and thank the Lord for your baby or babies with all your heart, declaring the faithfulness of God. Refuse to ask again, or cry about it again. Even if you see your period, thank Him for being pregnant and for your baby. Stop looking for the physical evidence, and just believe that it is done. Because we live by faith and not by sight. Refuse to look at or to consider anything happening in your body that will make you doubt that the Lord as already done it. Refuse to say anything or act in any way that suggests otherwise Enjoy your love making. Refuse to see it as a baby making moment, You can go a step further by preparing for your baby.😍 It’s crazy but it works. That’s the good fight of faith; insisting on what the Lord has said, and done inspite of what the situation may be saying. Because He says that when you pray believe that you have received, and you will have it. (Mark 11:23). The Lord bless you all..🙏

[@Mrs.Harris21]

I’m new to the here and this was a suggestion to watch and I’m happy that I did. What a great episode, conversation that is so relatable. I feel 100% the same way that you’re feeling. Especially when you stated that you’re having to wait hits home. I’ve been with my Husband for 9 years married for 3. And it has been a struggle for us as well. No issues on both ends and although I’ve never been diagnosed with any condition, I often felt what could possibly be wrong. Being in my 30s it can get very discouraging but my faith is high and I know what’s for me will be. Thank you again for such a great conversation that I wish was more common especially in our the Black Community. Gods Timing will always be the best timing❤

[@ruth-ann9522]

My husband and I are also in waiting I stopped saying trying because I realized every life is appointed and it's been thee most trying time.but God has also taught me during this time Soo much to prepare us for that chapter but I'm holding out hope for us and praying as well for you❤ 🙏🏾 continue to STAND in faith.

[@somebodyigjjiaiai7w7q]

The podcasts are backkkk! I was listening to the older ones this weekend while doing chores. 💗 I ALWAYS find it annoying when anyone asks Jess when will she get pregnant. Jess you are so patient with people and I'm trying to take that route because ANYTIME I see that question in your comment section i snap. It's such a weird question. People are toooo invested in your life and they seem to be getting way too personal. I hate the question so much omg

[@angelabarnes3121]

[@MiaSmomof2]

Thank you guys for sharing this. This will resonate with so many couples and so many women. I struggled with PCOS for so long. My first kid was a surprise because I thought I would need help getting pregnant and then years later, when trying for another baby it just didn’t happen for so long. I tried medications to induce ovulation, had IUI and nothing. I lost 114lbs and was able to get pregnant but then I had 2 ectopic pregnancies and lost a fallopian tube. I was depressed and afraid to try again, but I did and finally, I had my second baby last year. My boys are 9 years apart, which was not the plan, but my baby boy was worth the wait. When you have your baby, it will all come together . I'm believing for you guys

[@theonlypdl]

The segment where you talked about the pastor praying for those who had endometriosis, infertility, etc. made me think about @MsNaturallyMary! ❤ That was apart of her testimony too, and no sooner than that prayer she found out she was pregnant ❤ I believe WONDERFUL things are happening for you both. This is just a part of y’all’s testimony🫶🏾

[@kmc5800]

It's always when you stop trying is when it happens. We tried for months and nothing. Once we stopped trying, I found out that I was pregnant. I had my one and only about 3 weeks before I turned 41.
