Abraham Believed

Have you ever been through something in which you had to cling to the promises of God? 

That has seemed to be the story of my life for the past three years. Infertiltiy is a word we don't really hear much of in the church, and an issue that seems to be ignored. Why is that? I believe it's because people don't know what to say about it. It is a very touchy subject, especially in the church. It's one of those subjects that unless you have been through it, then you really have no idea about it. 

A little bit of our story....
My husband and I have been on the journey of infertility for three years and have experienced many of the ups and downs that come along with it. Would I change it???  That's a tough question. At times I think, "Oh yeah", and other times I think, "Never!" God has grown our faith so much through this journey, and I wouldn't trade that for anything. We have been anrgy, content, sad, happy, hopeful, scared, excited, overwhelmed, discouraged, but NEVER HOPELESS. "Why", you ask? Because hope doesn't lay in our circumstance, but our Lord Jesus Christ.

One verse that has really helped me get through this lately is Romans 4:3.
 "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."
 This is what we are doing: Believing God everyday. We are not only believing Him for our child, but also for provision of faith, hope and patience- everyday.

 One of the reasons for this blog is to document our journey through everyday life, and the obstacles and trials that arise, believing God for strength and courage to face life head on through Him. 

Please come along with me, and let's be encouraged together.
