Broken

It's a Saturday morning, and it's my birthday. And I wake up so excited to jump out of bed, because it's the day that I will hopefully get the best birthday present ever: the news that our next child is on his/her way. I bound out of bed, so much anticipation in every step. My cycle is seven days late, and with every fiber of my being, I expect to see a positive result. I walk out, and I am crushed. Another month, another negative test. Infertility has won again. All I want to do is go back to bed, curl up, and forget. Forget what it's like to want children. Forget how much the negative tests hurt. Forget that infertility is a part of my life. I want to just stop this crazy rollercoaster ride of emotions and pretend like I don't care any more. But I can't. It does  hurt. I hate hoping and getting disappointed, over and over and over again. And then the questions come. "Do you want more children?" "When are you having another one?" ...

Thirty Four Pounds

I think "ecstatic" could pretty much describe me right now. I started packing our closet and decided to try on some clothes I haven't worn in at least 3 years....and they FIT!! Only one dress was too tight to actually wear, and I haven't worn it in probably 5 years anyway. One of these days I'll wear it again. My goal during my pregnancy was to be back to my pre-pregnancy weight by 3 months post-delivery, and if not by then, I definitely wanted to achieve that weight by 6 months after bub arrived. I was trying to eat healthy, and I had heard stories of people back into their pre-pregnancy clothes within a couple of weeks after delivery, so I was hopeful that the weight would just melt right off. I was also motivated to exercise regularly. After all, I hadn't gained that  much during pregnancy - only 35lbs, which my doctor said was fine. But, what I hadn't realized is that breastfeeding, especially exclusive breastfeeding, limits weight loss, especially ...

To the one who is waiting...

Take courage. The Lord walks by your side. Yes, even in your waiting. Even when you feel all alone and wonder, "Where are you, God?"  He cares. He sees how hard the waiting is. He is for you. I know--it feels heavy. You feel all alone. You wonder why and how and a thousand other questions. So many questions. You wonder if He is even good. But He is .  Not because you've received your answer. Not because you feel happy. Not because your promise has been fulfilled.  He's good because that is who He is. I know it doesn't feel like it as you walk this dark valley. I know the pain and the tears and the questions so well. And while I can't take away your pain, I can say this: Your journey has purpose.  You're not alone. He is holding you in the palm of His hand. I don't know how and I don't know why pain is part of your story or part of mine. But I know this, our God is working it for your good.  He is good and He is faithful. Even when it doesn't fe...
