How I became a parent

Heather Frederick Brown

In my heart I always felt that I would become a mother. I was never anxious about this. Three years into our marriage, my husband and I began seriously talking about having a child. Soon, I became pregnant. We were so happy—but sadly, there was a miscarriage. What followed was a consecrated time in which I listened to God in my yearning prayers more closely than ever before.

I eventually stopped outlining what could happen, because I wanted to turn everything over to God.
