"May you soon be immensely blessed with the little pitter patter of feet running around your home." I sit and read these hopeful words that a friend wrote to me a few months ago and my heart is hopeful. Sometimes, I read that phrase over and over to bring some comfort to my soul.
Doctors appointments. tests. highs. lows. discouraged. hopeful. afraid. disappointed. determined. Fighting back the tears. Saying over and over again to myself, as if I'm rehearsing the lines of a script, "God let your perfect love take away all my fears."
I'm hopeful that God has a plan, I'm still learning to believe. Lord, help my unbelief.
Ash, I am praying you get to be blessed with many babies! They are the true joy of life! Good luck and let me know...so excited for you!
ReplyDeleteAshley, I will be praying for you. You are going to be a great mama.
ReplyDeleteAsh, You know our story of 5+ years of trying. In our life it seems as if God mist consistently shows up when we just are still and truly allow Him to be God and not just a spectator of our plans.
ReplyDeleteGod gave Isaac to Abraham when Abraham stopped "trying" and even then God tested Abraham when he asked him to give Isaac back.
Consider this, offer your desire to be a mom to God as a sacrifice. Then allow Him to grow you into being okay with whatever His plans are for you as His daughter and as a couple.
On a side note this also helps lessens the physical and mental stress you're putting you're putting yourself through.
I pray that God will honor the desires of your heart in His timing and that He'll give you peace until that te arrives. We love you both and look forward to seeing you soon!
