I'm so sorry! I know I'm jus...Oh, Rachel... I'm so sorry! I know I'm just coming in on the tail end of what you've been going through, but I can see it has been a difficult journey through a LOT of emotions. Truthfully, I cannot relate at all to the need/desire to be pregnant yet - I'm dealing with the totally opposite issue of really being turned off of motherhood. (Another story for another time and one that God will work through me as He does with everything.) But I do totally get your struggle on another level - and my heart breaks for you. It's SO HARD to want something - something that is holy and good and RIGHT, something you KNOW you would use for God's glory in your life - and then find that God is saying either "wait" or "no." I wish we understood His ways better when it comes to these things, but then I suppose we might not turn to Him daily for strength, purpose, and direction if we always got what WE wanted when we wanted it. :) I will pray for you - and I'm so touched by the fact that you are willing to adopt - God must have the perfect child already picked out for your home and I can't wait to meet/see/learn about him or her. Be lifted up today, friend, and see how God is using you (and wants to keep using you) in new ways (beyond motherhood) right now.

In fact, one of the ladies from my small group shared how she took out a second mortgage on her house to get pregnant with her first baby when she was in her 30s. Now that she's in her 40s, her Dr. said her hormone levels were optimal for conceiving. (Def. not in her plans tho). I know that God has some amazing things in store. Glad I can at least read along now that I'm not there anymore.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139382973742711105noreply@blogger.com
