Dear God,
Look at all those women waiting upon you for children. Give them heirs Lord. As they wait strengthen their faith in you and love for each other as couples.
In Jesus name, Amen.
Amen .
Amen
Amen
Well, most women don't learn from previous mistakes, they instead repeat the same abuse and worse then the previous error. And the still claim "it can happen to anyone" syndrome. God will test you also before attempting to bless
Am now 43 years and am chirldless...I have a loving husband too.. thanks for reaching out.
Thank
I know someone who can help you get pregnant again
Thanks for sharing
I have listened to this so keenly,am amazed how you have adressed a very critical issue yet you made it so easy and humorous...am proud of you am even more proud of your husband for not letting lack of kids break your marriage...am still so confident you just parents in waiting,your kids are coming... thank you for sharing this
Thanks alot
Hi Hadasa, God is faithful and I have walked the same journey as you. My daughter came at 14years of marriage and 7 years later the brother showed up last August and is now 5 months. Our 22nd wedding anniversary is on 1st February. Read psalm 113:9 Bible says he settles a barren woman as a happy mother of children and he has done it. God is God no matter what.
Thank you for sharing, very inspiring and that word of the Lord is true and Amen!
Oooh God is good.
Reading this on my 18th wedding anniversary today. Still yet to hold our child in my arms. Our biological child. Never lost Faith. Trusting God fully and always. Bless you my sister. Hadassa Mungu atatutendea. Amini.
I see you on that stage. With a sleeping bundle, two, in your arms. Amen.
Amen.
Inspiring. I too, suffered from endometrosis but God is faithful. After 2 miscarriages i have a beautiful daughter now. I hold on prayers and scripture Exo 26.
Beautiful testimony. Amen
@@Ed-wt8hp Amen
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉❣️❣️. I just had a second miscarriage. I won't give up and thanks for your testimony, that it's still possible
Congratulations 🎉Amen
Amen
who else cried when she said her name and how much of a queen she is in her husband's eyes?gal you so strong and God will shock you someday
I did! So heart touching. I'm like her, shading tears for her n for me
Amen
Nothing is impossible with God.... My friend waited 10 years and when they were in their 40s, God answered their fervent prayers, they got 3 beautiful kids 2boys, 1 gal... cutest kids ever. So don't give up on God, he's the Children giver, not you or biology But God alone... Keep praying...
How great is our God! Eight thousand members had no one to speak for them, they were crying in silence! He decided to raise a Hadassa.. Bold, articulate, warm enough to speak on their behalf.. I celebrate you!
God is going to bless you with multiples!!! In no time
I cried listening to you, i felt finally someone understands my pain. Thank you for sharing
Never give up..We are so many but one day one time,,,,God will make a way
My heart bleeds for childless women. Lord have mercy.
Amen. Thank you
It appears in your culture it would be difficult for a woman to make the "choice" to not have children, perhaps to focus on a career. Such a woman would likely be harshly judged. But does "every" woman want children?
@@94110mission
Most women want children, yet to see one who does not..but the family/societal pressure is the biggest driver...
Me too..it's a Budden I have to pray for them. May God bless the fruits of her womb
@@94110mission Very few women stay childless by choice, especially African women. Societal pressures aside, almost every woman desired to be called "mama" by their biological child. I am sure we all have seen how difficult it is for one to grow old and there are no children to look after them .............you agree with me that old peoples' homes are not "stylish" in Africa.
Haddasah you are blessed! I waited for 4 years, lost 3 children and finally the Lord blessed me with 3 children. I am so encouraged by your testimony and want to tell you, conception may tarry, but it will eventually come to pass. God Almighty is above all medical terms since He alone is the creator of everything. Just hold on to the Lord and He shall surely appear when you least expect. God loves you so much together with all ladies out their and men who are in this situation. Keep on trusting in the Lord!
Sorry to hear that sadness. Sorry did you mean you had 3 miscarriages or you gave birth and then they died? Sorr
Am childless but trusting God for greater greater MIRACLE.🙏
The way the world has reduced women to a baby manufacturing machine is very disturbing. Our calling is way more than that. Had a fibriod surgery a week ago, i can relate to the pain, "congratulatory messages upon pregnancy ", accusations of why are you not getting married, why take long to give birth???. People are struggling 😢😢.
This one of the most emotional episodes of engage talk so far... I'm not used to commenting on youtube videos but for this I've to. If I was to choose the man of the century, Editah's husband beats them all. Haddasa may God see you through you're surely a strong woman.
I got operated 4yrs ago because of cysts and am four months pregnant now. Doctors thought I may never bear children. God has a way for everyone and I wish you the very best
Dear God,
Look at all those women waiting upon you for children. Give them heirs Lord. As they wait strengthen their faith in you and love for each other as couples.
In Jesus name, Amen.
Am in tears i have been married for five years no child yet thank you for your support
Of all the episodes I have watched, this is the most educative. It's very enlightening that I see life from a completely different perspective. I have 2 close families who are childless and I can just identify with the pain they have to go through perpetually dealing with this strange phenomena that is a taboo in the society. May there be a baby cry in your city!
There is God in heaven. If he did it for Sarah at her old age. Mum God will do it for you in Jesus Christ name. Amen.
Hadassah hugs you shall testify the goodness of the Lord...lots of Love
I know I am not alone. Endemetriosis is wicked
Hugs mami
Together girl. We keep walking
Hugs your healed by his stripes
Cyber hugs your way love💜💜
But there is more power in the name of Jesus than in endometriosis. All power and authority has been given unto us to trample upon the serpent and the scorpion (Luke 10:19) And as if it is not enough the power of he who defeated death is in us. Imagine even endometriosis stands no chance against the faith which is as little as a mustard seed.
woooowww thank you for this great encouragement. I'm 43 and still waiting. Isiah: 1-9 is my strength.
God's still on your case....He'll cone through for you....may He give you peace for the journey.
I feel you am diagnosed with pcos and everybody seems to have medicine plus they have options of relatives second wife I thank my husband he said he married me children is a plus and he is my mentor and never stress that I must children he is open to other options sarogacy, adoption and etc having a supportive spouse heals the wounds
You are a queen girl. I waited for 5years and finally they landed. You have entered in my prayer list and I know God's time is the best...you are a lovely soul.
7 years of marriage and still waiting.. diagnosed with PCOS.... I know just how complicated childlesness can get.
We are together.. Pcos hurts
hold on love
My encouragement to you is that God heals PCOS as well. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 1996 as I was preparing for my wedding, stayed for 14 years and went through myriad of treatments then in Jan 2011 my daughter was born. Ideally PCOS gets sorted with a successful pregnancy but mine seems to have changed to something else but praise God in August 2018 my handsome boy was born and 22 years later I'm a happy mother of children psalm 113:9
He had the power to calm the storm, power to raise the dead, power to forgive a prostitute, power to save the world. He has power to turn your situation around. And because he listens and speak on this day I say to you next year a time like this you will sing of his wonderful works.
@@ravascombugua6592 Amen to that... That an amazing encouragement
Thumbs up to Ken. This man cares. Few men stand beside their childless women. May God bless this couple. Demythologising childlessness.
Thank you for your friendship and support. We celebrate you too
I appreciate that. May God expand your territory
Hadassah.. Means Esther. Surely you are a queen. Queen Esther
Thanks you Hadassa. You've spoken on behalf of a whole world & enlightened many. I salute your courage to open up & compassion to hold the hands of others. Blessings!
Thank you for sharing this, may the almighty bless your womb🙏🙏
Those people who always asks "unangoja nini, Ongeza mtoto mwingine don't understand what most couples go through.
It shall be well
I have cried, repented of any time I let my tongue get sloppy and thanked God for any gift He has blessed me with. Thank you for this thought-provoking and inspirational message 🙏🏾 The sun will shine on you too, continue trusting in God.
Wow Editah my schoolie, you are so strong! You have helped so many with this talk and God will reward you for holding someone's hand. I applause your husband. Very few men can do what he has done. I always believe God has a reason for everything. And if He had planned for you to be a mum, then it doesn't matter how long it takes, you will surely be one. But if in His divine plan He never planned it that way, then He surely has a better reason for it. Stay strong and blessed dear.
May God remember you Hadassa just as He did for Hanna in the bible
Who is God? He is not a respector of persons. He is not limited by conditions no matter how many letters of the alphabet they come with. God is a good God. He will come through for you. I know He will.
May God open your womb Haddasa,, may you carry its fruit someday, Amen. ❤
Married for 9 years, not yet blessed and my husband isn't supportive,infact another woman is pregnant for him right now. Its an undescribable pain. Through it all, i'll wait for my Isaac
susan konditi it's gonna be okay, pain is temporary, talk to God, he has a miraculous way of doing things. Just believe
susan konditi
Be strong
Be strong in the lord Susan
I'm so sorry ❤.
I celebrate your husband Hadassa.....waiting wombs is an inspiration. God bless you.
Awesome testimony.
She is beautiful and has soo much humour'
I've got one such hubby too. Thanks so much for sharing this. You don't know just how many are revived through this. Continue lifting your head up
This story of having kids is just over exegerated by society, i know parents who have 8 kids or so and still in their old age looks like shit.. so kids or no kids sio big deal. Is just in our minds. 😶
I wish society knew that. From where i sit, i can only say that unless you have worn our shoe, you may never understand.
I agree with you. Motherhood can be achieved in so other ways if you are a natural nurturer. Adoption, fostering, surrogacy etc. This is unhealthy pressure put on women to prove their femininity. We Africans need to be more open minded.
I always feel so bad for people who have no children. God please remember them and make a miracle of children in their lives.
Amen🙏
You don’t have to feel so bad since you know who blesses people with children. The plans He has for His people are greater than we can think of. No need to put God in a box. So no reasons to feel so bad my dear sister. Being childless can be a ‘beautiful heartbreak’.
You are a mother to all those you are touching.You are blessed.May 2019 be a blessing to you beautiful mamaa.🙌🙏👣
If anything you should thank God... You're gonna be conceive in God's time just like Biblical Sarah and Elizabeth did
I count myself blessed to have known and met this wonderful lady. Hadassa and Ken Trip, I admire your emotional intelligence, resilience and courage. God is with you.
You made me remember how much I questioned my Mom for not Giving me a sibling
It's not anyone's fault to live without a child..... well said my dear... wish I could meet with you face to face. Its been 12 years living without children
Look her up through waiting wombs
All the best
Hugs 🫂
That’s my big sister Hadassah. Proud of you DT. ❤️
Wait on the Lord my uncle waited for 15 years they now have 2 beautiful boys.
Mungu ni mwaminivu atakupa watoto, I see it in Jesus name
Amen.
Very informative Editah Hadassa...thank you....your husband is a lucky man....you are such a joy
I love the way she explains things in easy way regardless the hard situation.Evans Magare.
Can't believe there are 38 thumbs down to this. What a shame. Love you Hadassa.
Wow! Beautiful. You have liberated me dear sister, I have been feeling so ashamed with my struggles of infertility..
Powerful! God is so faithful and never delays! Please keep up and may your dream come true. We waited for 5yrs and the Lord came through, now blessed with 2! The support from your hubby is so precious, God bless him!
This is so inspiring
This remind me of a friend who said "siazae na ako kwake" I went silent for a minute and realized that she has issues to deal with this talk very rude
Totally, we must wear thick skin for the insensitive comments that come our way.
If you don't know what to say keep quiet
I cant stop crying 😭 oh Hadassah may the Lord bless that waiting womb!
My heart bleeds for these women
May God see you through all waiting wombs
And then God gives some women children and they take them for granted. I've heard and seen some very contentious women constantly quarreling their small kids like girl, do you know how many women would love to have a child just like yours? Cant you be kind and gracious to your kid as God commands you to be? And I am not talking normal parenting where you need to yell to a child for them to listen to you. Nope. I am talking quarrelsome women, you know them. The ones described in Proverbs. Even their husbands avoid staying for long hours in the home coz the woman just doesn't stop. And then here is another woman who seems very intelligent, and yet God hasn't blessed her with a child yet. If God has given you kids, love them, and know that you shall be accountable to God at the end of the day. You are just a steward. That child is given to you by God, and He could have have chosen to deny you like He;s denied others. You did nothing in this world to deserve that child.
yeap, it's ironical , some of us wish for caring parents
I had same problem ,opperated of fibroids damaged my uterus bt God intevined I'm now another of one don't give up hadasa
Very touching I had a similar problem and once told would never give birth, but I have 3 kids now. Keep believing miracles truly do happen. You are not childless ed in the name of Jesus. Am inspired.
God has blessed you already with a loving husband. You have been through a lot and together you've always made it so, God will see you through.To better years ahead Haddasah. And...you are eloquent and funny
Thanks for sharing this Hadassah. I'm a product of a 10 year waiting womb. God is still God. May His will be done.
SOCIETY is very cruel to UN-MARRIED women as well. Some of us wants to be married and some dont. People need to STOP projecting their EXPECTATIONS or LIMITATIONS on others.
You are blessed Haddasah,you gotta an angel for a husband,God bless him so much,he is a rare breed.
God will wipe your tears.
I am in the same shoes and I experience the same symptoms, I am yet to be diagnosed but they keep saying I am fine but the pain every month is excruciating..Please help out girls like us we really need your help .
Pls join waiting wombs
Update: 1 year ago I was referred to a good gynaecologist and was diagnosed with endometriosis. The medicine and change of diet has changed my life and I don't experience pain like I used to.this talk helped in my fight so thank you.
this is such an informative and beneficial to many, thanks to the organizers. i would wish to attend the talks.
May God bless you...may God bless your husband...may God remember you and may the God of Hannah remember women in waiting womb trust
Blessed gal
All is well God does the impossibilities

This is very inspirational. I had Ovarian cysyts when I was 16 and a lot of complications and I was wondering what was wrong with me. I got counselling early in my life and luckily I came out strong
She is a powerful woman the onions am chopping are too many kudos woman😍
This is powerful Editah, you have opened my eyes, there is so much that I did not know. Thank you. And hey, it is nice to meet you here after our primary days.
Pray for this family. Thank you for speaking up and raising awareness for childlessness.
Am praying for you!
This is inspiring you have just touched many.
May the good LORD remember all the women out there, thank you for sharing your story, very informative.
Wau your husband is a blessing to your life. He cares for you the way it should be
I stand amazed, the sheer courage and articulate manner she's delivered this extremely sensitive topic. Kudos to her hubby! In His time, may He fulfil all that concerns you and yours!
What a strong woman...You are blessed with an amazing Husband, some would leave or kick you out...Thank God for your King. Baraka tele
there is nothing that is too hard for the Lord, Hadassa I want to remind you that in God every realm is a possibility, and very soon the Lord will wipe your tears. He is Alpha and Omega. and His time is the best.
God is faithful I know u will have kids much love and God bless you are an inspiration to me
Going through the comments and seeing all the testimonies just gives me hope. As a medic, almost in my 30s with no prospects of marriage or kids, seeing couples walk in with infertility cases breaks my heart and scares me for me cause I want kids, even just one. All in all, the testimonies and Hadassah just gave me hope
We need a translation to Swahili
Alot need this information
You are a very strong human being.
But trust IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING TO GOD.
Our God is a mysterious doer of things, I know all isn't lost.
Many congratulations for the Very Gentleman in your life.
God bless your family.
I went to a friends wedding...she is German and the family were Swedish and Russian...I sat next to the German Aunt...we got to talking about kids and I asked ...do you have kids...she told me no. I said ok..and she told me something that I will never forget...She could have kids and all her relatives think she is a bitch and she cares all about her job..They live in a small German village everyone looks at her badly..So must be worse in African society
You are one of the strongest women I know.God bless you for being the voice of those in similar situations and sensitizing the rest of us.You are blessed
I am pleased to have met the Trip family in Church. Two warm happy people. I am convinced that a baby will be born into this family.
I understand Njambi koikais Story now.
Same here
Thank you for this. Much love to you
God bless your union, keep waiting and praying, big up to your husband that's a man and a half.
All I can tell u,He is God of the impossible. I've prayed for people n I've seen testimony. Christ paid for that also on the Cross
This is so inspiring....hadassa you are a strong woman
Hugs to you dear, the Lord will make it happen for you one day
I watched this keenly and really felt for you my dear sister and thanked God for how he has strengthened you and preserved you with a good reason. I decided to give out this idea of introducing you to watch Immanuel tv and maybe it can be the last bus stop for your problem for am a witness of worser problems and they're delivered successfully. When we're weak then we're strong for God's grace is sufficient, may God guide to a place where grace his grace is sufficient for his name sake. Where there's love and unity the presence of God is there, i appreciate your husband too for holding your hand to that far, may God bless you and don't give up. Congratulations for your faith and may God intervene in Jesus name i pray.
Thank you for sharing your story. Endometriosis awareness is vital to building effective support systems around us Endo Warriors.
Your family indeed, was a straightforward, humble/down to earth, kind and quite loving. And yes indeed, truly religious! Growing up as neighbors, I remember this very well! You are blessed my dear. You’re an inspiration! God has chosen you to do His great purpose as difficult as it may seem, humanly speaking, for now! You are doing it well Nyar japuonj!
Now remember also, “man’s extremity is God’s opportunity,” not necessarily to have a child, but to be “the voice.” God, good, is working His purpose out in you, and through you!
And may He continue to strengthen, guide and guard both you and your hubby!
Be blessed for allowing God to use you as a voice for the voiceless!
You are a strong woman and your husband is just God sent
Yes he is. Thank you
I love your confidence. There is more to life🥂
Thanks, for sharing this, it is very encouraging.
I feel you Hadassah, bt continue trusting God his time is always the best was married for 12years had fibroids, adenomyosis and alot of complications, bt at 43 "God had my prayer and blessed me with a baby boy. To all with waiting wombs, continue waiting on our God because there is no condition too hard for him
Wow congrats, how did you manage your symptoms to be able to conceive
Ohhh child of God....I hold you in prayer.
God is faithful.
You are a mother,a wife,a big sister a friend.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you
I know how you feel, I’m in the same category but we grow stronger each day, every year 10 years now, we have each other, and that’s what’s more important.
Thank you Editah.
