Before my pregnancy and before attending Embrace Grace, my life revolved around having everything under control. My sense of security came from having a plan, knowing what came next, and feeling stable. When I found out I was pregnant, I felt grateful for the life growing inside me, but I was also overwhelmed with fear and uncertainty.
During my first month of pregnancy, I lost my job, and suddenly the stability I had depended on was gone. Physically, pregnancy was challenging too. There were days when I wondered how I would make it through, but even in the hardest moments, God never left me. He continued to provide, encourage me, and remind me that He was writing a story bigger than the one I could see.
Finding Embrace Grace was one of the ways God answered my prayers. It became a place where I felt welcomed, loved, and supported without judgment. The women who walked alongside me prayed for me, encouraged me, and reminded me that I wasn't facing this season alone. Through them, I experienced the love of Christ in a tangible way.
Today, I get to look into the eyes of my beautiful daughter, Luciana Catalina, and I'm reminded that every sacrifice, every tear, and every difficult moment was worth it. She is a daily reminder of God's faithfulness and perfect timing. Embrace Grace strengthened my faith and taught me that my security isn't found in a job, a plan, or my circumstances. It's found in God. I will always be grateful to everyone at Embrace Grace for believing in me, praying for me, and loving both my daughter and me.
