According to her, the movie was a rollercoaster and recounted how it opened up closed wounds for her:
“This movie had me on a rollercoaster of emotions…
“Having gone through 4 miscarriages myself, it undoubtedly reopened closed wounds. But look at me today!!
“There really is purpose in #TheWait and it truly is #WorthTheWait.
I am aware that occasionally the silence can be unbearably loud….. Trust that God, in his infinite mercy will NEVER forsake you
“And it truly is a privilege to #WaitOnGod. I am a living testimony!!!
Anita also used the opportunity to motivate people going through the same experience. She said they should trust God because He will never forsake them. According to Anita, it is a privilege to wait on God and she is a living testimony.
