She first shared her baby bump picture in May. So many people came forth to congratulate her and share words of encouragement with her after the long wait.
Kambua had not only suffered the reality that conceiving was a struggle but also the constant trolls on social media.
She has had the hope that one day she will have a toddler calling her mum and that reality is slowly coming to be.
We are not sure how far along she is but in that journey she has realized that she may have triggered the wrong emotion in fellow women.
I've been around long enough and been through enough to know that pregnancy journeys are not perfect- far from it. They are messy, hope-filled, scary, joyful, and just very... complicated. I also know that for waiting wombs, pregnancy announcements can be serious triggers. I have lived it- how you just want to be so happy for others but somehow your own grief and struggle overwhelms you.
In that journey, Kambua had days when she was angry and hurt but she was reminded that God is enough for her. And it was not until then that God was able to deal with her heart.
But my years of waiting allowed God to deal with my heart. He taught me that He was enough for me and that I was complete in Him. I didn't know how or when God would turn the tide for me, I did however know, that even when it hurt beyond words, my trust would always be in Him.
She sent out a message to the women on her timeline who see her gracefully rock the baby bump and are hurt by it.
So for any woman who's pain was triggered by my announcement, I have prayed that God will turn your darkness into a spark of hope. I pray that your faith is renewed in knowing that His power knows no bounds. I pray that you find yourself whole in Him. Motherhood does not complete us; God does. Motherhood is a great calling, but it's not the only calling.
Kambua reminded them nothing is hard for God and so he will do it right. According to his will. Be encouraged ladies.
