Jorgianna and her husband, Wesley, were the recipients of our $10,000 GIFTaway in 2024. Their journey includes profound loss, relentless faith, and a miracle that only God could write.
What you are about to read is Jorgianna’s testimony in her own words, shared exactly as she wrote it. We have not edited or altered it in any way.
After having three miscarriages, I was told
“You don’t understand how life works.”
“You don’t always get your way in life.”
When describing how infertility is an absolute war, the response I got was
“The reason that God hasn’t blessed you with a baby is that you don’t have enough faith in Him.”
When mentioning how heartbroken I have been with grief and loss, instead of compassion, I got,
“How many times are you going to keep doing this to yourself? How much longer? You are just going to keep getting disappointed over and over again.”
When I was excited to talk about my upcoming embryo transfer procedure, my excitement was met with
“You realize how close that due date would be to the holidays, right?”
And then sometimes it’s entirely out of the blue and unprompted like . . .
“So I’ve been praying, and this obviously isn’t working out for you, clearly. So I think God is telling me that you should just adopt a newborn.”
Or
“Even if you are able to sustain a pregnancy, you could just die on the delivery table and leave your baby without a mother and your husband without a wife. Is that what you want??”
When announcing that we had officially finalized our embryo adoption process, I was asked,
“Is the baby white?”
When announcing that I was expecting my miracle baby, I was met with,
“Seriously? I never thought that I would ever hear you say that you were pregnant and actually decently far along. Never thought it would happen for you.”
When announcing my baby’s gender as a girl while beaming from ear to ear, I heard,
“Ehh . . . A boy would have been nice.”
Every single one of the quotes above is a real statement. . . that was actually made . . . directly to me . . . Wild right?!?
I have concluded that people are straight-up feral and will say absolutely anything.
One of the biggest things that has been validated to me through this entire journey is to listen to GOD, NOT to PEOPLE… People who lack faith themselves will try to convince you that you are the insane one for still having faith and hope in the midst of extremely dark circumstances…But isn’t that exactly when God’s power has the opportunity to shine the brightest??
When you know what God has said, TRUST HIM. He is always The One in ultimate control. And praise be for that! If I had listened to the words of others, I would have never even gotten close to my miracle . . . Yet now she is here in the flesh, and God is getting all the glory for her story.
Maybe you are praying for your miracle of a baby, or maybe the miracle that you are asking God for is something totally different. Either way, make no mistake. The moments that you see in these pictures? They are nothing short of a total miracle. Let this be living proof to you that my God still does miracles every single day. Do not miss out on your own miracle by allowing others who lack faith themselves to convince you that you are the crazy one for having it. It’s easier for them to call you crazy than to address their own lack of faith.
Do not give up on God. He won’t give up on you.
