Having Hope
We all need hope. Here you will read true stories of people finding hope during long, difficult waits. May your heart be infused with hope as well.
Our Story (Part 1): Embracing Hope During Infertility
Our Story I spent the first 27 years of my life searching the world for my husband. Okay, maybe not all of those years, but definitely the last several! At the beginning of 2008, not long after my 28th birthday, Mike and I began dating. Six months later we were engaged. Four months later we…
A Letter To My Mama Friends (From One Struggling With Infertility)
Hey there Mama, I know that you’re likely very tired right now, and sometimes you may feel like you’re spinning your wheels and going nowhere, repeating the same routine: feed hungry kids, wipe their little bottoms, teach them about life, repeat. Even when your days feel mundane, I want you to know that you’re living…
This is How We’re Going to Become Parents
When you publicly share that you’ve been trying to start your family for nearly 6 years, you get all sorts of feedback and unsolicited advice. In Due Time blogger Caroline published a post several months ago that so beautifully said: “We will have a baby not because of something we do in the natural, but…
Surgery Update (and How am I?)
As I shared in my blog post prior to having surgery last Thursday (March 17), I debated whether to only tell close friends & family about the procedure, or to make it public. With my husband’s agreement, I shared the information publicly, and I have never felt such a covering of prayer in my life! Thank you…
Personal Update & Endometriosis Awareness Month
In the first week of March, I had a doctor’s appointment to investigate my continued fertility issues. On March 4th my doctor verified that I likely have at least one uterine polyp and endometriosis regrowth, and she thought surgery was the best option. I met with the surgery scheduler and said, “How soon can we get…
Highs & Lows of Infertility
Many have tried to find the words to describe infertility, including me. Today I want to share two simple statements from long ago that attempt to put imagery to the feelings. Like this one: Think about it: have you ever seen a desert, even a picture of one? Dry earth’s desire for water keeps yearning….
The Lion Onesie
When I saw that newborn onesie with a cute baby lion on the chest, I decided to buy it for my future baby collection. That baby lion reminded me of the Lion of the tribe of Judah (a biblical reference to Jesus). As I pray and wait for my children yet-to-come and wonder what their future lives will hold, I have…
Engagement Rings & Baby Clothes
Many years ago, in my early twenties, I moved into my first apartment all alone. It was an unusual apartment – an old garage turned into living quarters. It had one huge bedroom, a windowless living room, a spacious kitchen, and two full bathrooms. When my roommate moved in several months later, we were glad…
Arms in the Air: Support & Encouragement During Infertility
“How are you?” people ask. Usually I reply with a “good” or “fine” or “okay.” Mostly I am. During half of the month I’m most often truly feeling optimistic about our situation. Seasons affect me too – I’ve learned that in dreary seasons, like winter, I struggle more emotionally. But sometimes, beyond the “okay” on…
