Jesus Knows

Jesus Knows

Journey/Life/Love
July 26, 2017

I first wrote about our infertility journey a little over a year ago, but here’s a bit of a re-fresher for the newbies with our adoption journey mixed in.

“Jesus Knows.”

A simple phrase I have found myself repeating during the last several years.

My husband Scott and I just celebrated 6 years of marriage. In my perfect world, we would already have 2 (maybe 3) kids. We began trying shortly after our 3rd anniversary. I thought I would be just like everyone else and get pregnant quickly. It didn’t take long for me to realize my story wouldn’t be “just like everyone else” — Or that “everyone else” didn’t necessarily have it as easy as I assumed they did.

Connecting the Disconnected

Connecting the Disconnected

If I were to let you peek into my brain the last month it would look a lot like this blog…because let’s be honest…I don’t keep a journal, otherwise I would’ve said “this is an excerpt directly from my journal pages”. I don’t have the endurance to write my thoughts out like that. That’s exhausting…and typing is faster. Here is where I’ve been the last month, and figuring out how to connect what seems disconnected is really challenging me. You know those truths that you’ve heard all of your life…and those little nuggets of truth you use to give advice to others. “God is faithful” “God’s timing is perfect” “God is good” “God uses our suffering to bring Him glory” “God is sovereign” “God will never leave you or forsake you” “God will meet all of your needs” I could go on and on and on with those short phrases. Here’s where my problem is… I know these phrases, and I believe them…but only when times aren’t hard. I know God is good, but I convince myself He is good only when things are smooth sailing. This journey of infertility has made me question every aspect that I’ve ever “known” […]

Because He Lives

“Because He lives, I can face tomorrow. Because He lives, all fear is gone. Because I know, He holds the future and life is worth the living, just because He lives.”

This seems to be my theme song lately…especially those last two phrases. I’ve caught myself humming it in the middle of the grocery store, at work, or while I’m slaving over a big meal I’m preparing (ok…that last one is not true at all. I don’t really cook…but that’s not the point of this blog).

“Because I know He holds the future” – I know He holds the future, but to be honest there are days (most days) where I doubt. I doubt His perfect plan. I doubt his goodness. I just flat out doubt.

I feel like this has been a common theme in my life. Before I met Scott…
