For all those women who have:
suffered a miscarriage
given a baby up for adoption
dealt with infertility
adopted a baby
Katherine Nelson has created a beautiful new music video for her song “What’s Mine is Yours” from her album Born Brave, which I raved about last fall here. Grab a box of tissues, enjoy, and share with the women in your life who have gone through similar experiences!
Oh, and how about a giveaway of her album Born Brave to celebrate the release of the first music video from that album? Hopefully its the first of several more.
Two winners will be chosen: one from Rafflecopter and one from the comments left below. Leave a comment telling about a woman you admire who has shown bravery in her life!
What a beautiful song. I really enjoyed it, even though I cried the entire way through it. We will be celebrating year number 1 this year..
I have several sisters that have gone through miscarriages, infertility, and adoption. What a beautiful song. It really makes me aware again of how difficult these things can be. And also about how wonderful and sweet the gift of adoption can be to those families who are longing for a child. I have also gone through a miscarriage and although it has been years, it reminds me of God’s love for me and my lost baby. Thank you so much for sharing this song with us. I have already shared it on my facebook page. Everyone needs to hear this song.
One of my friends is really living on faith in the Lord’s timing. It’s so brave to do that, but she and her husband have been delayed three times to finish his PhD, and it all seems that it’s the professor’s fault, but they are striving to have faith to accept that the Lord might be making them wait for something amazing. They also had to wait for eight months to get pregnant–a first for them. They have wanted this fifth child for a long time and had to wait until the Lord told them it was okay to try again, and then had to wait for almost a year after that. They are very brave. I am in awe of their faith.
I just had a miscarriage on Wednesday…. and my grandfather died two days prior. It was a difficult week. I’m grateful for this post…..
Such a beautiful touching song. I have a friend who has bravely dealt with the death of a precious baby girl at 3 days old from sudden infant death syndrome. Her faith in accepting God’s will without even a hint of bitterness has been truly inspiring.
Such a beautiful song! You weren’t kidding about needing a box of tissues! This week in particular I’m thinking of all the brave women (and their husbands and families) who are currently in the process of adopting children from Russia. The adoption ban has put their lives and their dreams on hold and left their babies without their mamas that much longer, but they’re moving forward with hope. Our prayers go out to them…
This is beautiful. It reminded me of my miscarriage three years ago of my baby #4 and how we are now trying to be patient to be blessed with baby number 5. Also, my baby sister delivered identical twin girls at 24 wks last summer. She pumped every three hours for 3 months and visited them in the NICU three times a day for over 100 days until they could come home. They are miracles and she has been so brave.
My mother went through 3 miscarriages, one of which almost killed her. Despite that, I have 4 siblings, which I know took a lot of courage to do. Also, my old Young Woman’s President suffered from PCOS, but managed to have three beautiful daughters. They are some of the bravest women I know.
I have a dear friend who is bravely working to be a loving righteous good mother even when she didn’t have a great example and a hard childhood. She is brave. This video made me cry. Beautiful.
My older sister, who at age 42 became a widow with 2 young children. Her testimony never faultered, her courage has been amazing!
I think this would be a wonderful thing to have. I have lost 5 babies 4 before I had my oldest child a girl. I lost her twin and the twin sister of my youngest boy. I treasure the Children got allowed me to keep. I know that one day I will meet my other children in Heaven.
Beautiful song, visuals and message. I have been blessed to have two sweet, strong, courageous and loving friends who know the challenges of infertility, loss and adoptions. Their faith and testimony are humbling.
I think the list of those I love from sister to friends and other family members that have been through these situations is heartbreakingly long. I find it awe inspiring to see their faith in the lord to guide them through so much pain.
I have been reading about this song all over adoption blogs, so I’m excited to read about it hear too! We just barely got approved to adopt a second time, so I’m all mushy about adoption-related music right now and I love this! Thanks for sharing.
Keeping with the adoption theme, I’ll be forever in awe of our son’s birth mother and the courage it took to make her decision and stick with it because she knew it was right for her and her child. Unbelievable courage in the face of a very difficult situation.
I have had 2 miscarriages… One particularly traumatizing. It’s ndescribable really. I admire the faith of my SIL… They adopted a baby after many years of infertility and have been trying to adopt again. I know it’s been hard watching everyone else in the family have child after child, but she’s been nothing but kind to everyone. These are such sensitive things that we women tie into our worth. Being a mother is hard– and it starts before the baby!
My mom is my hero. I don’t know how she dealt with her trials, loosing her first two babies. One had a heart problem and lived only 3 days. The next was full term stillborn. Thinking of her made my very early miscarriage a lot easier.

My sister-in-law is my hero on the infertility front. They have been through the wringer with plans to adopt being put on hold, then infertility treatments and finding out those wouldn’t be successful. I don’t know what is next on their plate in this journey, but both she and my brother have faced every obstacle with courage and hope and a positive attitude.
My last neighbor was an amazing person. She and her husband struggled with infertility for years before finally being able to adopt. They were blessed to adopt another baby just a year after adopting their first, and then became pregnant with their own and had her just eight months after their second adoption!
I remember when I was a young teen & a family at church lost their son to SIDS, I was amazed at how they handled it. They were sad, but they also knew where he was. It really left an imprint on me as to how knowledge & faith in the Gospel can bring peace even in the hardest times.
