Well, I have been inspired to try the whole “blog” thing again. I have blogged several times on my old blog but I have decided to start fresh and new. What inspired me is a sweet friend of mine that has had to walk through some pretty tough times and is still trying to help others by sharing her story. Maybe God could use some of the things I have walked through to help someone else. I want to be real and helpful with everything that I say. I hope my blog will always be encouraging, helpful, and let you know that you can trust God NO MATTER WHAT!!
With this first post I want to tell you a little about the start to my sweet family. I will start out by saying I have the most amazing family every!! My family began when my husband, Josh, and I got married in 1997. He is a truly amazing man of God that I am so glad and blessed to be doing life with. (LOVE YOU BABY!) We had a beautiful wedding, had an amazing honeymoon in the Bahamas, moved into our first home, had amazing jobs, and decided we would go ahead and start having children. Well God had a different plan for us. We tried for about a year on our own and then decided to talk to a doctor about the problems we were having. The job that Josh had at the time would pay for all “infertility testing” but not “infertility treatment”. So we decided to get tested and we found that I had PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). Then it took Josh getting laid off from that job to send us to the next job where his insurance only paid for “infertility treatments” and not the testing. (sound like a God thing to you?) Well the doctors told us that we could still get pregnant it would probably just take a little help to get things started. So we did the 4 rounds of Clomid, the Ultrasounds every couple of days, the bloodwork every couple of days, 3 rounds of shots, and finally an IUI. We never got a positive “your pregnant”, and the closest we came was a false negative. (I thought that didn’t happen) After the IUI, we ask a lot of questions to the doctor and God kept telling us in His time. So, we decided to let God just do what He knew was the plan for our lives. Even in this experience with infertility, God was preparing us for what was to come. He was teaching us how to Trust Him in everything and to live a life of faith when it doesn’t even make sense.
In the upcoming post I will let you know what I mean by that last comment. God has told us to do some crazy things since he started our family in 1997, but He has always been faithful to take care of us.
God you are faithful and we Trust You!
To be continued…
