Hi ladies! This weekend has been
such a luxury, so I figured I should take this treasured time of relaxation and
post an update! Today and yesterday have been heaven… Jason and I have had a
chance to rewind and kick back for once. We spent almost the entire day
yesterday watching Netflix (we’ve been loving Bloodline), and today we went to
church. He is back in Denver now for work, but I am at home just thankful to be
here. When you travel for business as much as we do, you really understand that
there is truly no place like home.
This past month was our last hope
for this time in our lives of having a baby naturally, and it looks like that
is not in God’s plans right now. So, that means…. We are about to start our IVF journey!!! We’ve been waiting for
this for what feels like an eternity, so although it is of course a
disappointment that we couldn’t conceive naturally, it is thrilling to know
that our hope is now renewed. Our dream is so much closer now!
With the giant leap we are about to
take, comes the reality that it is not a perfect world. There are countless
things that can go wrong, and nothing is guaranteed. Right now, we’re just
hoping for the best and praying that we won’t have to face the worst. Some of
our friends recently received a negative blood test after an IVF round, which
was so hard to hear about. I can’t imagine what they are going through, but I
do have faith that any negative result is not
for nothing (forgive the triple negative). All of those hours, emotions, and
shots invested have proved that they can
get through it, and that it will be even more precious when their blessing
comes.
I had to take a step back and
remind myself that I must trust God through the beautiful moments, as well as
through the worst ones. His plan is always the best one. He knows what our
outcome will be, He knows why we are going through this. On Thursday I spent my
quiet time making the challenging decision to trust the Lord and believe in His
plan above all, and through all. God does not give his children second best,
and he wants us to be happy. It’s time to step into his calling without fear! If we let Him lead us, we will always
be blessed.
Letting go and trusting isn't always easy. However, when we do let go and trust, THAT is where we grow in our faith and in Him. We're praying for the best for you both.
