Gospel music minister Victor Thompson, best known for his soulful worship songs and inspiring performances, recently opened up about one of the most painful seasons of his life, the period he and his wife were waiting for a child.
In an emotional recount, the singer revealed that what should have been a time of faith and quiet expectation turned into a deeply hurtful experience due to the insensitive comments they received from people around them.
According to Victor, while he and his wife chose to trust God’s timing, many others did not show the same level of patience or understanding. Instead, they were met with questions, whispers, and unsolicited advice that only deepened their pain.
“People don’t realize how their words can wound,” he said.
"It’s one thing to be waiting, it’s another to be reminded of what you don’t yet have over and over again.”
Victor Thompson’s honesty sheds light on a topic many couples struggle with in silence: the emotional and social pressure of waiting for a child in a society that often measures a couple’s happiness or success by how quickly they start a family.
Despite the emotional toll, Victor and his wife held onto their faith. Their story now stands as a testimony of hope, patience, and the power of love that endures even in the waiting season.
Their journey reminds everyone especially within faith communities that empathy, kindness, and sensitivity should always come before judgment or curiosity.
As Victor continues to bless lives through his music, his personal story serves as another powerful message: God’s timing is never late and every waiting season has a purpose.
