A piece of my mind today...

This time last year, I was mourning. Mourning the loss of a second child. No woman should lose one child, no woman should lose two. My heart was broken. Completely. I heard this song today and it reminded me of the hurt that God held my hand through one year ago...


I have heard, "I'm sorry, you're not pregnant" more than any woman should. I've been through more hurt and loss than any woman should. I've had more shots, medicine, Dr visit's, and treatments than any woman should. I don't say this for anyone to feel sorry for me. I say it because through everything HE STILL REIGNS! Today... I'm praising God! 

I had a hysterectomy 3 weeks ago. After much (and much more) prayer, my husband and I made this decision together. While satan wanted me to hurt today, Gods love broke through and I'm able to praise Him. While satan reminded me that I will never have the chance to bring life into this world again, God reminded me of what He's brought me through the last 8 years. I praise Him that I will never again have to hear the phrase, "I'm sorry, you're not pregnant". I will never feel the hope of pregnancy only to have it overcome by grief. I will never again feel the agony of losing a baby.

So for that, for THAT, I say, "THANK YOU, JESUS!"

For those who are so completely worn from the journey of infertility or the loss of a baby... have faith. God does mend frail and torn hearts. A song WILL rise from the ashes of a broken life. Redemption WILL win. He is a good God! He is a great God! Even Especially when we are going through trials.
