Katherine

My name is Katherine Jenchel. In 2019, we experienced a miscarriage. It  was devastating for me. Becoming a mother was something I had always  deeply yearned for. After a time of mourning and processing, I began to pray  everyday for a baby. I used a pray shawl crocheted through the ministry at Grace. I read and reread the first chapter of First Samuel. I felt comfort and  hope in the story of Hannah. “For this child I prayed; and the Lord has  granted me the petition that I made to him” (1 Samuel 1:27) God answered  my prayers with Alec. Alec is my rainbow baby. A constant reminder that  God is with me, hears me, and answers prayers. Alec’s middle name is  Simon, which means to hear or be heard. This is a picture of Alec as a  newborn, the orange and brown blanket he is on is the prayer shawl I used to  pray for him.
