Somtimes...Hi there... so good to read this update. Somtimes reading your blog brings forth memories, but the pain is distant and that's by the grace of God. I have walked in your shoes -- infertility, failed adoption placement, IVF and more... I'm sure you couldn't shock God with your anger, I already did that years ago. For years I begged God to be merciful and at least take away my desire to be a mom. He never did. Sometimes, for some people it fades, and they can be okay with it. For me it did not, even though I begged it to go away. I believe that God places that desire in your heart and He will lead you to your child(or children) and even though the journey would not be one you might choose, the day will come when you will be grateful for it. I look into the face of answered prayer everyday when I see my daughter, Grace. I wouldn't trade a minute of my 11 years of pain and heartache, because then I wouldn't have her. I can't wait till the day when you can look back on all this and feel the same way.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14623892795270445481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345317559059686010.post-16917890816282516782009-10-20T17:56:38.114-07:002009-10-20T17:56:38.114-07:00I'm glad you are back.

It is so hard to lean on him and give the situation over to him but you are right that we children of God cannot do this alone. I will pray that you have peace with your cycle and that God blesses you with a baby.<br /><br />Good luck with your cycle.Peacheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06903969640034520006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345317559059686010.post-15629463515490169942009-10-20T17:22:30.584-07:002009-10-20T17:22:30.584-07:00Glad you're back!

I ...i love to hear people talk about God in a post. I am having an u/s this afternoon to see if clomid is doing its job this afternoon, and i am so anxious i can hardly breathe. i cant eat, i cant sleep, i am so wrapped up in this i just dont know what to do. I even did a fast week before last, because i was afraid that i was making "having a baby" an idol above God and maybe that is why i wasnt getting blessed. <br /><br />Then all these peices seemed to fall into place, and here i am back at sqare one again with this anxiety.I know you havent blogged in a while (me either cause i dont talk about my baby stuff on blogger, cause if/when i do get pregs i want it to be a suprise to family who is on my blogger through obligation)and so i feel like i have nothing to say cause like i already said, i am consumed with this baby thing.<br /><br />So i went on your page and the Jeremiah verse came up...i have probably read it before, but this time it really spoke to me....he "has plans to give me hope and a future" how cool is that? how loving is that? I just cant wait for is plans and promises to unfold...as i am sure you cant either.<br /><br />i said a prayer for you, and i hope that God is at least giving you the peace, because the anxiety is just overwhelming.<br /><br />i hope you understand from my rambelings, that what i am saying is that i appreciate your testimony to God, and how you are always mindful about trying to do what is right, and just. I needed encouragement this morning.<br /><br />thank you<br /><br />♥ acfinding_achttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18291379816720635057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345317559059686010.post-10513051713351191112009-10-15T11:08:44.563-07:002009-10-15T11:08:44.563-07:00So glad you're back!

Giving all the control over to God is not easy, but I must admit that this second IVF cycle is feeling more relaxed than the last one because I am working really hard each day to just let God guide us and control all aspects of this cycle. <br /><br />Just remember that when a cycle fails it doesn't mean that God is telling you no to a baby, He's just saying not now.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676218432177573142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345317559059686010.post-43498185502626654382009-10-15T08:27:37.299-07:002009-10-15T08:27:37.299-07:00So good to have an update!

I know our 2nd IVF seemed so much easier when I just left it up to God (not that getting disappointing news would have been easy, but I just continued to pray for His will). How nice that the clinic is picking up your hotel tab! :-) Hope everything goes great on Monday!!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569347476683189045noreply@blogger.com
