Your testimony is not finished. I will continue to pray for you. Thank you serving God by encouraging other women :)
ReplyDeleteLooking back during our time of trying, a miscarriage, then trying again I can absolutely see God's work in progress. Have faith sweetheart, hard times mold us into something beautiful. I hope you get your miracle soon, but can I just tell you that what you received is GREAT NEWS. I don't mean to be a downer, but there are so many couples who don't receive that type of news, their's is much worse. Stay happy, spend time with your hubby, enjoy life to the fullest, your little miracle will join your family soon enough!!! I just know it!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your vulnerability in sharing this post! I have not struggled with it personally, but I have friends who have. You are right when you say that sometimes God fixes it and sometimes he does not. . . . Some of the people we know went on to adopt. Others, after (gulp) years of trying finally conceived. They even went on to have more kids easily after that. Thought I haven't struggled with infertility, my husband and I have struggled with waiting on God's timing. We know it is best, but it can still be endlessly frustrating. Especially when you are in a place of pain or unhappiness and you just want the next chapter to unfold!
ReplyDeletethanks Holly <3 For your encouragement and your prayers.
ReplyDeleteThank you Whitney! <3 While it is frustrating, I am very thankful for the diagnosis we got... I know it is blessing that everything is in proper working order. The time in between is up one day and down the next. I'm riding the wave, feeling the emotions, praying through the longing, and knowing He is good. Thank you for providing the kind of encouragement that only someone who's walked this path can give.
ReplyDelete:) Thanks Logan!!!!! For the prayers and for the tag <3
ReplyDeleteI think that's what's so beautiful about stories Nathana. I have women message me all of the time who have never dealt with infertility but somehow find truth in these words. I think deep down we all wrestle with God's will vs our own. We live in such a "take the bull by the horns" kind of world that wants you to "take control of your own destiny." All of that goes against the essence of Scripture. So many people too think that if you know the truth (that God's timing is perfect) then you aren't allowed to feel. Also so not true... Jesus knew what was best when He was praying in the garden but it didn't make Him dread the cross any less.
ReplyDeleteDeep hugs to you! I am praying for you in your journey. Know you're not going down this path alone!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jessica!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that there's no deeper, underlying medical issue!
ReplyDeleteMe too Tayler! I'm very very thankful for that!
