Oh My!! Sarah and Amison.....girls I am thinking of you sooo much right now!!!
The ones that have never been pregnany wonder why they cannot get pregnant and those who keep getting pregnant and m/c or other cannot understand why they cannot keep a pregnancy.
It all seems endless. I wish we could all meet for lunch or dinner and just talk it all out and hug and just have comfort in knowing that we are all in this together.
I know I said this before. But the best thing that has helped me is writing down all the BLESSINGS that I do have. When we are focused on winning the race in something in our lives, we tend to forget the other places that we've been in our lives and the successes that resulted from keeping up that mountain.
Here are some of mine:
1. I have a loving, supportive husband who is truly my best friend.
2. I have a wonderful home that I never have to worry about a place to sleep or food to eat.
3. I have a car that works and doesn't break down and that I can go anywhere I want when I want.
4. I have a relationship with my Maker that gives me comfort, patience, love, understanding and HOPE in the most uncomfortable situations and hopeless times.
5. I have an adopted son who is my light, that I would have never believed I could love him as much as I do
The first few days are always hard because you keep asking why, why, why..............but that is OKAY!!
You have to cry to be able to HEAL!!!
The most difficult paths we walk are the ones that change us the most (For the better)!!!.
DO NOT LOOSE HOPE!!! There is a plan just as Mel said..........We all have a plan..........we just have to keep seeking to find which one is ours.
One thing is for sure.......this board I KNOW has helped us all and that is a BLESSING for sure.
Thinking of you all and sending you TONS of prayers and hugs!!!
