Journey to Joy



Praise God for the blessings that he has bestowed upon my family and me.  WHO IS THE KING OF GLORY – The LORD who is STRONG and MIGHTY!  Hallelujah!! I come to you praising God because you don’t understand the MIRACLE my family and I are walking in.  You might not understand trusting in God for something, just to have that thing given to you and taken right back out of your hands.  You might not understand the heartache and pain of waiting on God for something that he’s blessing other families w/and they don’t even want the blessing.  And we are not talking about waiting a couple of years.  10 years plus we fought against the negativity and lies of the enemy that we unfit to be parents and would fail in our quest to have children.  Even though we tried the modern day, microwave manmade way of creating babies, they all failed.  All the procedures, test and trials caused us was more heartache, pain and confusion.  We knew that God does work thru the doctors and some modern day medicine.  W/that said, we also knew that the medicine and doctors could not do anything or help anybody medically IF God did not allow them to work.  God has all power and what he does or does not allow will come to pass no matter how man tries to intervene w/that.  Once we left the doctors alone and really trusted God for our children is when he fulfilled his promise just as he said he would do. Yes he blessed us but he kept our child our first child Kennedy Joy after 9 months which broke our hearts.  Here we were trusting God for our baby and then after waiting and praying for years we finally were about to have a child; then after 9 months God takes her back.  Devastation couldn’t describe how my wife and I felt at that time.  Words can’t describe the pain, heartache, confusion and anger we felt.  That sounds cruel doesn’t it?  It felt that way.  One thing God has taught me in life is that when we give our lives to Christ our lives are no longer ours.  We are now a vessel for God and are molded to be used for a cause when God sees fit.  So even though this may seem cruel and it hurt my family dearly, we still had to trust God.  If he allowed it to happen then it was meant to happen.  He did reveal that it was not anything wrong w/my wife or I and we had the ability to have children.  We were not unfit physically like the enemy said; it just was not our season or time to have children.  Knowing that is wonderful after years of being unsuccessful but we still wanted our child.  We wanted our BEAUTIFUL daughter Kennedy Joy Whaley born on 02/08/2009.  She brought us that joy in our lives that we had been waiting all our lives for.  We miss her and lover her dearly.  We wish she was right here w/us enjoying life but she’s in heaven where we all want our kids to make it to when God calls them home.  God also revealed that he didn’t need any help from any modern day medicines, methods, or doctors in order for us to have children.  Little did we know that this was also a spring board to a blessing God had in store for us later.
                  After God took Kennedy home, we didn’t think it be much time before God blessed us w/another child to fulfill and comfort us for what we had just gone thru.  That is what we were praying for and believing God for.  We tried the doctors and modern day medicines and stretches/calisthenics in the bedroom they tell you to try but again all that failed us.  We go so frustrated w/more heartache and pain from going thru those procedures that we gave up on them.  Frustration began to build between my wife and I causing issues in our marriage.  So we got back to reality.  We knew who had the power to bless us and we were just going to wait till God said it was time.  Well it took almost 3 years before that prayer was answered and God fulfilled his promise.  Hallelujah!  Thank you Jesus!  Our 2nd daughter was born on 01/04/12, healthy and strong just as God had shown us in our dreams and visions.  Thank you Lord for our BEAUTIFUL daughter Katelyn Elise Whaley.  Words can’t express the joy that we have from our having our daughter.  She restored that joy that we once had when we were getting ready for our first child Kennedy to be born. 
                We all know that when you have been obedient, waited and trusted God for something that he likes to reward us but do so abundantly.  He knows the heartache and pain we go thru when trusting him for something.  We have that pain because we are fleshly beings and don’t always operate in the Spirit.  God is looking at the whole picture while we are just looking at person or the object in the picture.  That is why we must trust God w/all things.  Even though some may not understand but we trust God more than ever now because of this journey we went thru in us having children.  Yes I said children.  So just as my wife and I are enjoying our daughter and watching her grow up, my wife starts feeling funny.  This went on for a couple of days so she decided to take a pregnancy test.  God is AWESOME!!  Hallelujah!  Yes my wife is pregnant again.   Abundantly, remember that is how God wants to bless us.  That’s exactly what he did for my wife and I.  Not only do we now have an 8 month old daughter but we also are awaiting the birth of our two sons and little girl that are due in December.  Praise God!  Thank you Jesus!  We are having triplets.  No medicine, no modern day procedures, no doctors were involved or needed.  God himself delivered this miracle.  Only God can make a miracle such as this.  Hallelujah!!  He blessed us to come from not having any children to having four in ONE year!  God is a miracle worker and he’s proved it once again that he is still working miracles in this microwave modern day way world today.  Kennedy paved the way for the next 4 babies that followed.  She made room for them.  That’s our little angel.  She’s always watching over us.  Thank you Kennedy.  We love you baby and we miss you. 
                Thank you family, friends, ministries and all that supported us and prayed for us thru the tough times and now the good times.  It was your prayers that got us to the place of blessing and joy in my wife and I’’s life.  God please bless each and every one of them in return and in the way you see fit.  God is truly faithful to his word.  Thank you Father for doing so and blessing my family.  For all those facing the impossible like it seemed we were, keep trusting and being obedient to God and he will bring that thing to pass.  NO he has not forgotten about you.  Just keep believing in God.  If God promised that he would do it, then it will come to pass.  He is faithful to his promises and my family is an example of just that.  Praise God!  Hallelujah!  Thank Jesus!  Thank you readers for your time.  May God bless every one of you and may God’s will be done in our lives. 

Best Regards,
Darryl & Tamika Whaley
