I was already 43 when we got married and my husband was 54. We were open to having children, and we solely wanted God’s Holy Will in the matter as with everything else in our lives. Our prayer was “whatever glorified God”, whether it was to have children or not to have children. We left it all to God and placed all our trust in HIM and in HIS Mercy.

During a routine visit, our doctor suggested that if I wished to get pregnant, we should consult a fertility clinic and go through IVF. But we clearly did not want to go down that route and continued praying for God’s Will to manifest. We have decided to be happy with whatever the Lord wanted for our lives together.

On our first wedding anniversary, it was our most pleasant surprise to discover that and that I was pregnant. I conceived naturally.
