Never stop believing

In 2013, I had a miscarriage. When I was pregnant, the doctor saw a low thyroid and put me on medication. I didn’t think my thyroid was an issue in my infertility, but later, in an aha moment, I realized it played more of a role than I previously thought. I started to experience major brain fog and general exhaustion.

Through prayer and counsel with close family and friends, I began to feel led to get my thyroid checked out. I went to my doctor, who confirmed the problem. I began taking a different thyroid medication than I’d previously tried and started to see other doctors—including a holistic one. I persistently prayed for the healing of my thyroid. Before every appointment, I asked friends to pray too. Over and over, I went up for prayer at church. Little by little, I improved. Nothing drastic happened until I received an email from my doctor. It said, “Dear Gina, after reviewing the last three blood draws, I am happy to report that there is a significant improvement.”

I have been on a journey of personal healing of infertility. Through this journey, I have been given the great honor of adopting my daughter, Camila. My life has been deeply impacted by this miracle. Even though my specific infertility healing hasn’t happened yet, I am blessed, have more faith and have grown closer to God.

I’ve learned God does not cause sickness or infirmity. What God does is redeem things, and we are left off better than how we started. We just have to look for the miracles in all things, and we can find them. They are everywhere.
