Singer Kyla has suffered three miscarriages, and this has taught her to let go and have God’s will prevail over hers.
Today Kyla is happy that she’s been blessed with a very understanding husband and a very loving son as per her Instagram post today, November 23, where she shared a photo of her husband, Rich Alvarez, and their 8-year-old son, Toby.
“God graciously blessed me with a loving husband and the sweetest baby boy whom I could never deserve in a thousand lifetimes. God is so good. I am forever grateful,” she said.

While life to her is not a bed of roses, having suffered three miscarriages, Kyla has not lost hope of someday becoming a mother to a second child.
“But sometimes it can be so difficult to realize what you can be thankful for when everything seems to be full of hurdles,” she said. “When we decided it was time to try to have another baby, the waiting can be quite frustrating.”
“It feels almost like an obsession for me, focusing on something that I don’t have yet. Every month, I’d wait and hope to be pregnant and then.. the period comes. It’s heartbreaking. Even if I’ve been through this over and over for years, it still hurts,” she said.
Eventually, she learned to let go of her own plans and “and make room for God to work on His plans for me and for us.”
“I already have all that I need in this life. Having another child is just a bonus. I am letting Him take me on a journey of surrender to Him,” she said.
She vividly remembers writing a Bible passage and note for herself that says, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you (1Thes. 5:16-18).”
By now, she has learned to accept her fate when it comes to having another bundle of joy.
“If it’s God’s will for me not to have another baby, I have to start thanking Him for that, not half-heartedly, but joyfully. I thank Him for what He is doing in my life. I thank Him for everything and all the people He had already placed in my life to love, and for all He had already entrusted to me. I trust You,Lord. I desire Your will, not mine,” she said.
After suffering two miscarriages in 2018, Kyla suffered another one in July this year. /ra
