Video testimony with english subtitles.

@Berrybunchfamily Thank you for sharing your experience as well. It felt a bit random to share here on Ding Dash yesterday, but I felt I was to share, so just went ahead and did so. Having known of you as a family with boys, it's fascinating to realize that you're also parents of a daughter (just on the other side of life)! What a blessing that you're able to appreciate Magdi's contribution to your lives and family. I think that is what was on my heart in sharing, that if someone is going through a similar loss currently (or still feeling intense loss and grief), that they be comforted in knowing the life of their child is not without meaning, no matter how short. And, that God knows and cares about the details of our lives. He sees. He loves. Thank you again for adding your own similar testimony.

Part 3: The pregnancy was difficult, due to damage to the placenta, etc, but her child was born and God used this experience to bring her to Himself. It was a beautiful testimony of God's love and grace. I was so moved by this story, as I saw clearly that the miscarriages were not my fault. Another thing that helped me so much was to realize that although I never got to know these first three children as I had wished to, their lives were not without meaning and purspose, however short their time may have been. God sent them to our lives as messengers and used the experiences to strengthen our marriage and to teach us more about life and about Himself and His goodness. I'm so grateful for the two children we've been able to "keep" so far. So...very....grateful!! But, although the miscarriages were painful, God worked everything together for good. There was still meaning in each of these short pregnancies even if they didn't end in the way we'd have chosen.

Part 2:
His hand was so evident throughout the pregnancy. On the day that would have been the due date for one of the babies, I had an ultrasound and learned our baby was a girl. A day that would have been a reminder of loss, was instead a day of joy and anticipation. Then, she was born 8 days before the anniversary of the miscarriage. In my husband's culture, the 8th day is a special day to celebrate the birth of the child. So, again, a day that might have brought sadness was a day of joy instead!
Another thing that has comforted my soul concerning the miscarriages was knowing our Heavenly Father understood my love for the babies in my womb. Only He can preserve life, I did not have that power or responsibility. The children are His. I watched a video testimony of a lady who aborted, maybe 2 babies and tried to abort her third. She tried 3 or 4 times, but even though they tried to scrape the baby from her womb, they were unsuccessful! She then decided to let the baby live. Continued

I don't know why, but I sense today that I'm to share something personal as it may be an encouragement to a sister going through something similar. My first three pregnancies ended in miscarriage. I had desired to one day be a mom for about as long as I can remember, so it was painful to lose these babies. I struggled with thoughts of wondering what I'd done wrong. Why do others who don't even want a child seem to have no problem? Did God not see me as qualified to be a mother? After the third miscarriage we were recommended to go to a fertility center, but neither my husband nor I had peace to do that. We realized in God's Word that He so often opened and closed the womb, so we took it to Him even more in prayer. I conceived again, even before it would seem physically likely. This time I didn't miscarry. I did battle thoughts of fear that it would happen again, but had to realize that even if that would happen God still loved me and His plans for me are for good and not ill. Continued

@Berrybunchfamily Amen! Thank you. He is so much greater than we can comprehend! May His goodness continue to be revealed in your life, your family, and your nation. I recently saw a short video of people in your country lifting up the name of Jesus. He is so worthy!

@lauralynn Thank you for this message! Amen!!! He is with us.

@Olamide Amen! He sees the sparrow and is with each one of His children. May His presence be felt by you and your family and your nation as well.🙏

Recently so many alarming things are happening all over the earth and it seems to be increasing in frequency and intensity. There is so much suffering. Anxiety wants to creep in. BUT, we are not forgotten. We are not forsaken. The One who put breath in our lungs is unchanging and faithful. Our hope is in Him. Two days ago He supernaturally protected my husband and several others from serious danger in some river rapids while on a raft. Our friend distinctly heard a whistle three times, although no one blew a whistle. The timing was exactly what was needed to prevent them from a terrible water accident.

Job 38:4-7
4 “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. 5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? 6 On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone— 7 while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?

I don't know this person, but his message is that there's power and victory in the Kingdom of Light. Jesus is not defeated. He's not retreating.

@Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter I'm so glad these ministries are helping protect the vulnerable.
