Sometimes God plants a promise in the quietest moments—when no one else is watching, and nothing looks finished yet.
This is Jordan’s story. It’s a testimony of God meeting her in the middle of infertility, marking her heart with a personal reminder of His faithfulness, and years later, revealing just how intentional He has been all along.
For two weeks now, I’ve been trying to find the words to say, and I’m just continually left speechless by how faithful God really is.
Several years ago, I had hit a breaking point. I had just read a post from Waiting For Baby Bird (I can’t even remember what it was now), but it wrecked me and convicted me all at the same time. I remember getting off the couch and going into the room that Dallas and I had decided would be the nursery. It was under construction, so it was a mess in there. But I slipped through the door and hit my knees. I didn’t even bother to turn the light on. On my hands and knees, I just (quite literally) cried out to God. I unleashed all my grief over infertility at the feet of my Father. I begged Him to fulfill this desire to be a mother. I knew He was going to, but waiting with no timeline is hard.
Once I was done, I felt better, and I reached up and turned the light on. My eyes landed on the purple paint underneath the trim, and I gasped. I started laughing and asked God, “Does this mean I’m getting a girl first?” I talked myself out of it because the color purple represents royalty, and Proffers aren’t known for making girls (iykyk), but from that day on, I held the color purple close to my heart. It was my sign from God that He would fulfill the desire He had given me.
Two Weeks ago, Jola had her first dance recital. She danced to the song “Same God” by Hannah Kerr. Part of the song goes like this:
The same God who makes the seasons change
Knows the number of the stars
Every secret in my heart
All my doubts, all my questions
In every fear, I have about what might happen
You’re the same God
You’re with me in the middle of it all, God
You’re catching every tear as it falls
I know You’ll never change
Even when I’m feeling far away
You love me the same, God
My prayer request, my little blessing, now 3 years old, stood up on that stage and danced to a song that reminded me that God was always with me. I mean, I KNEW that, but sometimes we forget. And not only that, she did it in a purple costume with a purple ribbon in her hair. But not just any color purple, the same color purple as the walls underneath the trim.
I’m just speechless. These are only details that God could orchestrate. I’m just so undone by His faithfulness. He is truly the God who sees. He is the God who makes the seasons change, and not just the physical seasons, but the seasons of life we walk through, too.
I don’t know what you have asked God for today, or what season you need changed. But I know that He is faithful to do it. I know for some it’s a season of infertility. That was my season. God met me right there in the middle of the season. What felt like a moment of weakness and a breaking down for me, God saw as an opportunity to plant a seed of hope in the fertile ground of my heart. And He used the color purple to do it.
Don’t give up on God. He is so faithful. Years later, He is still showing me that.
If God has been faithful in your story and you feel led to share your testimony, we would be honored to hear it. Testimonies remind us that God is still moving, still seeing, and still working in the details.
