In full disclosure, I originally wanted to start this blog because my husband and I are dealing with fertility challenges. I was looking for someone I could relate to while going through this journey. A quick note, we have been fertility challenged (lol…) for over a decade and still no child in sight; but God. So before you ask, yes we have tried it all seen several fertility specialist, countless test, pokes, prods, medications, vitamins, supplements and very personal and intimate questions all in hope of naturally conceiving. All this plus doctors visit co-pays and all the time, effort, and energy. This does not include the spiritual and emotional components such as hope, faith, fear, disappointment, failure, pressure, physical, mental, and emotional pain and the list goes on. These feelings are often navigated by each spouse both together and separately; and can leave one reeling after another failed cycle. Before I go on I must say that I thank God for the husband that He has blessed me with; my husband is very supportive. Yet during this time I noticed that my husband responds to things differently and it didn’t seem to consume him as it did me. I often cried in private even when I was in public, when there was birth announcements, baby showers, and the like. So, I searched the infertility blogs, and Christian blogs in hopes of finding someone like me who has not yet conceived, who is still trusting the Lord to have His way in their life, and to continue living life with JOY even if the answer is no. The truth is Jesus Christ is my fulfilment and it took all this for me to realize that HE is good, gracious, loving, forgiving, MY SAVIOR, and my all. “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33. As, I continue to live this beautiful life that God has given me, I understand that life ebbs and flows, seasons change, trials come, there will be times of weeping, times of joy, but through it all “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore” Hebrews 13:8. Therefore I have hope, joy, and peace in Christ. To my sisters and brothers who are experiencing this fertility journey you are not alone, keep hoping, keep trusting, keep the faith. God is faithful!
