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.
Simeon and the Long-Awaited Baby
Around this time of year people throughout the world think about baby Jesus. Thoughts of the newborn King reminded me of a short segment in my book Embracing Hope During Infertility, where I ponder Simeon, a man who waited for many years for one certain baby. Here is the excerpt from the book: Luke 2:25–35 tells…
Seven Years of Unplanned Childlessness
I’ve been thinking about writing this blog post for several weeks. I wish I had a ton of emotion to throw into it, but I don’t. So I’ll just tell you four things, straightforwardly and Betsy-style. Making bets: Seven years ago today, Mike and I were married. Seven years ago, some of my friends were…
Waiting Through the Long Night
Do you find waiting for God to answer your prayers to be as exhausting as a sleepless night? I’m not a night owl, and staying awake through the night is a challenge. I spent a couple of years working at an emergency dispatch center, which meant I had to work many night shifts. We were…
This is what a fruitful womb looks like
I want to tell you about a package I received in the mail tonight. But first let me tell you about Kristen. I met her at the writers’ conference where the idea of writing my first book was planted firmly in my heart. “Let’s get together sometime,” we said. Although we had church in common, we attended different…
Hope Story: Amy
Sometimes you’ve just got to go back to those stories that have spoken hope into your heart – and this is one that encourages me. Sometimes this woman’s song comes to mind and I sing it over and over – her testimony of the faithfulness of a God who is able – even after YEARS of desiring…
Hope Story: Anna “Letting Myself Hope”
Something that keeps me moving forward in this seemingly impossible attempt to conceive a baby is when I hear about a baby born to someone who once thought it could never happen. Sometimes these blessings come through adoption, and many times these babies are born to women who once thought it would be impossible. When…
Don’t Call Me Infertile
I see it all over the Internet, a word that many people use to define themselves. I hear people say it about others: She is infertile. They are infertile. They were infertile for many years. There are a lot of words that I refuse to wear as a banner over my life. This is one of them. Please don’t…
She Spent All Her Money on Doctors and Nobody Could Heal Her
Apologies to anyone reading this post who isn’t experiencing what I’m about to talk about. There’s a story in the Bible often captioned “the bleeding woman,” but before I even share my thoughts on that story, I want to say that something very closely tied to infertility is the bleeding. Every now and then I…
Christian Chick’s Guide to Surviving Infertility
I sat down to write this at the end of a really rough day. On that particular day I had cried my eyes out all afternoon – mostly because we still have no baby. While to some degree I’m used to it, infertility does get harder with time. Although the challenge is tough on every…
