Guided to a New Beginning!!

Ann Kiemel Anderson has written her "tour-de-force," which is her struggle to have a child of her own. In her own words she describes all the feelings she had along the journey, and she writes not only with her heart on her sleeve, but with a great deal of vulnerability as well.For 35 years, she had been a successful career woman, living at a hectic pace writing books and speaking across the world about God at work in her life and in the lives of others. She found time to start running and became so good, she competed in marathons. Then she found the "love of her life" - Will Anderson, and she was overjoyed at the thought of sharing her life and developing the close bonds of marriage and motherhood.She carefully lays her story before you in this book, and it's written in her unorthodox style, but the story is much different from all the other stories you may have read about her, because it tells of God's refining fire in her life.Highly recommended!!!

Ann's desire to conceive was so overwhelming.

I had not met anyone who has suffered so much torture time and time again and yet never gave up and it never even was on her mind to turn bitter towards God. Although Ann was so hurt by God's answers in her life she still kept Him as a Best friend. Although all she asked for was something so normal the answer was always "no". She still loved God and trusted Him with everything she had, all that she was and all she could be was for His honor and glory regardless of the trials and sufferings that were coming her way. Her deepest most profound desire was her childhood dream, to be a mother. It was costing her so much pain and grief for something that to others was a piece of cake. Her desire to hold her own baby was so overwhelming, but the Lord still said "no". She suffered so gravely for a child to call her own. In the mean time her husband was great always making her feel worthy and loved, always reassuring her. The Lord listened to her needs and saw her floods of tears but He wanted her to realize that He should be her first Love. Ann realized this after so much torture and gave herself to the Lord completely, it was then that the Lord blessed her with a child that she would call her own.
