So, a blog comment I got the other day from wonderful woman, and awesome supporter of mine, caused me to pause a bit, and kind of evaluate some things about my faith and relationship with God. Which I truly appreciate, because she was kind and not judgy in her words...And I felt God gently nudge my heart each time I read the comment over... I felt my face start to burn with emotion, as tears welled up in my eyes...And I finally admitted to myself... I do NOT trust God...At least not fully, like I once did... But I desperately WANT to be at that point again....Trusting fully...And filled with peace... I walked into this journey, to try for one more, 100% SURE , God was calling us/giving us the desire to have another baby...I/we were, 100% certain we would walk away with a baby in our arms...As a matter of fact, I would have bet my LIFE on it. Now, 3 years later, I am broken, weary, and so utterly soul shattered, that I simply cannot "look" God in the eyes...H...
I know the feeling. I do my best to trust in God. I know he is real, but lately I've had days when I question His timing. I am trying not to become bitter that it's been so hard for us to conceive and that we are about to fork over close to 20K for a 40-50% chance at having a baby while crackheads across the world get babies they can't care for for free. I keep waiting for God to show me how truly powerful He is, and I can't help but feel like I did when he took my parents from me from cancer. I hope that I too can find a way to get past it and trust again. Thanks for leading the way. It helps me want to keep trying to trust in Him knowing that you are fighting to do the same.
ReplyDeletexxxx's so sorry for your struggles and losses...Life can be so hard some times, and yet, so beautiful and magnificent at others...I try to focus on the beautiful times, in the times of darkness, but even I still have some bad days...It helps to know others struggle the same emotionally, that is why I am so candid...I feel like, if I can feel better after spewing on my blog AND someone else is encouraged or can relate, then it was worth the effort...=)
