God's Delay is Not God's Denial: Wren Robbins' infertility story: Podcast Feature with NorthStar Narrative
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR:
I had such a great time with Stephanie sharing about our infertility story on the North Star Narrative Our story began when my husband and I had been married for 5 years. I told about what a teacher that I taught with asked me and it made a difference. A friend that encouraged me to do what my husband thought we should do which was go to a fertility doctor.
Hear about two specific moments during our journey that I will never forget.
1) What if we never have a biological child?
2) God delay is not God’s denial.
QUOTES:
“When I finally let go of my pride, that’s when God poured down His spirit through the body of Christ and that was when we started growing through this process.”

“When you release your clenched fist, God does a great work.”
“I’m grateful for that hard time.”

WE GOT PREGNANT:
Community is so important when you are walking through a difficult time.
We dreamt of the time we could tell our parents we were going to have a baby.
We are so grateful we were able to have that experience!
PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR FRIENDS WHO MAY BE EXPERIENCING INFERTILITY OR A HARD TIME:
1. Send a card in the mail reminding a friend you are thinking of them.
2. Don’t ask if they haven’t opened up to you.
