Thank you all for your prayers and encouraging words. God is doing a work in me and each day I'm doing better and better.

Of course I'm human and have my moments, but I know God is in control and I completely trust Him and the plans He has for my life.

I am so so sorry Sarah Praying for you and your family! Your attitude is beautiful though Your rainbow is coming SOON!

Thank you my dear. I know that God will turn this situation for the good and I will be able to help others who are going through the same thing.

How are you doing? When do you get to go in for an ultrasound?

Yes He will! I feel He has done that with me since our miscarriage.

I've been doing pretty good Feeling some symptoms (no nausea though). I get my first appointment on the 29th (it was scheduled for tomorrow but my NP is having surgery so they had to reschedule with my OB instead). Praying all goes well with it and our first ultrasound, though I have a feeling and am trusting God that all will go well this time

GJ glad to see your spirits lifted!

Markswife how exciting about the u/s! Is that tour first one? Glad you're not having ms...that can be tough for some. I'm sure everything will be fine at your appt!

 

[GodzChica]

In this time of loss I call upon the Holy Spirit within me to guide me to my strength so that I may find peace and completion.

I will use this strength to demand of myself and others my need to grieve completely, for this will be my first step to healing.

During my time of grief I will seek guidance not only from the Holy Spirit but from loving persons who may offer wisdom and comfort and prayer.

I need to understand that the soul as well as the physical body needs healing and to pay attention to this.

I will learn to live not in fear and once again see beauty in my world and purpose in my life and accept the will of God and his good plan for me.

I have to accept in spite of my knowledge that things happen that cannot be controlled.

Let me recognize the gift in my ability to conceive,and carry life however briefly in hopes that one day will carry a life to it's fullness.

Let me take joy in my ability to love so deeply and desire to nurture a soul unbeknownst to me.

Let me find healing in the belief that this soul knew my love for it and that that love helped it to pass to the loving arms of Jesus.

Let me recognize this meaning in not only my ability to survive, but in my fullest appreciation of all the moments motherhood will bring me, along with my deeper compassion and sisterhood to other women who've experienced loss.

I will listen to and trust the place in my deepest heart that tells me I will once again be reunited with this precious soul and will fulfill the need to hold it in my arms.

I will help myself to feel comfort in the knowledge that there is a Child in heaven that belongs to me.

For all those who have lost a child in any form...

Sarah, glad to see you back. It looks like you've quickly learned what it took me weeks to accept... He doesn't ask us to understand, but He does ask us to trust Him. I'm so glad you've accepted it so soon. I tortured myself for way longer than I needed to trying to figure out why, but when I just let it go and decided to trust Him I found true peace and comfort. You're such an inspiration.

I'm glad to hear that. I started feeling queasy and tired at 6 weeks and then a week later came the yucky stuff. I pray that this pregnancy will be full of joy and that each day you will enjoy knowing that precious baby is developing inside your womb.

Looking forward to hearing about your appt on the 29th

Thanks sweetheart

I've had different trials come up in my life that I've learned it's easier to let go and let God take control. It is just to painful to hold on to the "whys" of it all. God has never left me broken hearted before and He won't this time.

I am going through the healing process and I will allow myself time to mourn and grieve when I need to. It was a very special time in my life and I'm so thankful that I got to experience it for 9 weeks. Of course I look up at my calendar and see today I would of been 11 weeks and had another ultrasound, I may cry a little, but I know one day I will see that precious baby.

I know God has placed the desire for a child in my heart for a reason and I'm excited to see what His plans are for our family.

Love you sis and praying that you are feeling wonderful with your pregnancy...not much longer to go

Christ Is the Power
by Joyce Meyer

And God also selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is lowborn and insignificant and branded and treated with contempt, . . . so that no mortal man should [have pretense for glorying and] boast in the presence of God. —1 Corinthians 1:28–29

“But to those who are called, . . . Christ [is] the Power of God and the Wisdom of God” (Corinthians 1:24). When God calls us to do something, He enables us to do it. Remember, God uses inadequate people to do important things because that way He gets the glory.

So if God calls you to do something today that seems too big for you to handle, Christ will give you the power and the wisdom that you need to do it. God has said to each of us, “My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9).

This is great! Thanks for sharing! So great to have you back!!!

 

[MummyWant2be]

I'm doing well! Just waiting for the days to pass until I go for my blood test!

 

[Godsjewel]

I'm doing well! Just waiting for the days to pass until I go for my blood test!

Isn't it crazy how we are always waiting for something?!? We wait for our periods to come, we wait to test, we wait for blood work results, we wait to take meds, we wait for the eggs to develop, we wait for the embryos to develop, we wait during the tww....We can't seem to get away from the waiting time

I believe during the wait is when God uses that time to teach us patience. I think God has a "Patience Award" for me in Heaven...lol!

You are right all we do is wait...wait wait wait!!! It never ends!!! And every time I make it to the next hurdle where you wait some more! I am hoping that the week goes by quickly. I am going back to work tomorrow and Friday and then Friday evening I am heading to Massachusetts to visit my family for the weekend. I am hoping that helps move time along a bit!! I think you will certainly deserve that award!!!

 

[QueenKingfish]

Oh, the waiting! You are so right! I hate that I'm getting so good at it, because it means we're not pregnant, yet. Then again, I am pretty happy about the work He has done in me this month to be able to give our eventual pregnancy to Him, and not take it back piece-by-piece until I turn certifiable.

A friend of mine sent me a link to a video sermon from her church on Mother's day. It was a story I've heard and read many times before - the story of Hannah's wait for Samuel and her willingness, finally, to lay down her desire in desperation and leave it in God's hands. I feel like her sending that to me was God's confirmation that we are following His plan for us. While I'm not THRILLED about waiting, I'm finding joy in it while I'm here.

Hope you ladies have a lovely day!

Return to your fortress, you prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you. Zec 9:12

 

[No Doubt]

Today's daily journal came from Matthew 14:22-33....Peter walking on water.

Kenneth Copeland discussed this verse from the point of being too afraid to get out of the boat. He said better to get out of the boat and sink and just ask the Lord for help, than to stay in the boat never trying due to fear. The Lord can handle any mistakes you may make, and you're going to make them, so when you do ask the Lord for help, but don't be too afraid to try.

In this journey of ttc there are so many options to try, so many times of waiting, so much to consider and sometimes we start to get afraid of what may be. Will this work, will that work...I don't want to be disappointed, can't be disappointed if I don't do it....maybe next cycle. Ladies I'd encourage you to not be afraid to get out of the boat. If there's something you've been wanting to try, even if it's just trying nothing at all, I'd encourage to step out of your boat without fear. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't but you won't know until you try and God is always there for to grab hold of you if ever you start to sink.
