The weeks are getting better. I don’t cry when Chris holds me. That’s nice. It’s difficult to stay away from the one person who brings you the most comfort. Some days are easy and I feel great and then others come out of no where to knock me over again. Thank goodness a day only lasts a day. Each one is a new opportunity and comes with a promise of hope.
1. Fanny’s trip – Things went well. Better than expected. She even had fun. Gasp! The Lord took care of her and I am thrilled to know she could relax and smile.
2. Eating Options – Thank you Lord for putting us in a city with so many healthy and organic choices. Learning a new lifestyle will be challenging but all the options make it easier to adjust. That’s a blessing.
3. Chance meeting – I eaves-dropped on a couple sitting behind us in church this past Sunday. They are doing IVF too and offered to talk with us anytime. I haven’t gotten up the nerve to email her but I’m so grateful the Lord sent me such a surprise.
4. Fertile Friends – I am so grateful none of our friends can understand what we’re going through! Thank you Lord for giving them their beautiful children!!!
5. Lessons to learn – I know there is so much to learn from this journey. Some days I feel like I’ve learned it all and so I should just be able to put a check mark by it and move on. But we all know that’s not true. Every day the Lord is showing me what I’m trying to hang on to and more importantly, that I’m not hiding that fact from Him. My devotional today suggested writing whatever that is on a balloon and releasing that to God. As I sat there reading that, I realized the sky would be covered in balloons. I want to let them all go and I know He can help show me the way.

Thank you for all your cards, emails and phone calls. I’m humbled by the relationships that are developing and the ways we’re connected. God knew that would happen. I am so grateful for that fact. Have a wonderful weekend!
I love so much that you are thankful for all of your fertile friends-and thier beautiful children! I don't think I have ever thought to thank God for that...and I should!
