About Me
- Maria
- God has blessed me tremendously with an amazing husband, Doug, and two gorgeous little boys, Gavin and Joey. It has always been a dream of mine to have a large family but God may have other plans. I had a series of 6 consecutive early miscarriages when trying for baby #2. We are currently trying for baby #3 after our 7th miscarriage. I am faithful that God's plan is perfect, even when I am not happy about it. I love comments and meeting new followers so please don't be shy!

Patience or Lack Thereof
I do, right? The past few cycles I have been really trying to give myself a pep talk. I have been trying so hard to think positively. I have been wanting to always be finding the sunshine on the cloudiest of days. But, sometimes it is hard. I need to be rejoicing and thanking Him for everything He has blessed me with, instead of feeling like I am waiting for Him to bless me again. Does that even make sense? I am thankful. I am blessed. I am happy. I am human, too. I want another baby.
So what is faith anyway? According to Wikipedia, faith is trust, hope and belief in the goodness, trustworthiness or reliability of a person, concept or entity. I do trust, hope, and believe that God will bless me with another child. I have that kind of faith. But do I have the patience? That is the part I am struggling with. So today, instead of trying to figure out what God would want me to know about being patient, I am going to find out by reading His words.
(Insert some very peaceful and pensive music while I go look at this site.)
Romans 5:1-4
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.And not only [so], but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
So maybe my infertility is about me building even more faith. My tribulation is teaching me about patience (boy is it ever!), and I am gaining experience (maybe to share with others?) and with every month of "experience" I am getting just a little more hopeful. I am getting closer to another child. I am going to enjoy a pregnancy again. I know it!
If anyone would like to share in the comments, scripture or quotes that help them stay positive, I would love to read them. I could use some inspiration as I am waiting patiently for the "two week wait" to pass.

I love comments but if you are seeing this, I'm afraid that no one will see your comment. On the blog, I use Disqus commenting and it sometimes takes longer to load. Also, if you ask me a specific question, I am able to respond to those using Disqus. If you ask here, I am unable to reply. But, again, I love to hear from readers so however you comment, I thank you!!
