Kenyan gospel singer Cecilia Wairimu, popularly known as Amani, has shared her emotional journey of overcoming long-term infertility. In a heartwarming testimony, she revealed that she had struggled to conceive for a while before finally welcoming her first child with her Nigerian husband, Chinasa Udeala, in May this year.
Speaking about her experience, Amani shared a photo she took a few months ago when she was pregnant, but unfortunately, lost the baby. However, she chose not to give up and instead, chose to trust in God's timing.
‘When I took this picture last year I was pregnant but lost it. It hurt but at that moment I chose not to grumble or murmur or get angry. Though disappointed, I refused to give up and lose faith. I had conceived after not being able to conceive for a while. So I realized that my season had come and it was just a matter of time,’ she wrote.
She continued, ‘I thanked God in advance and the following month I conceived again and this time the pregnancy was sustained. Today I hold my gift from God in my arms… My baby. It is still so surreal. Yahweh is a faithful God who is always on time. All the glory goes back to him.’
With her second child now in her arms, Amani's testimony has inspired many of her followers, who have taken to social media to congratulate her and share their own experiences of trusting in God's timing.
