Thank you everyone for your comments! We are still praying about what to do next :)
One of my new favorite songs is "Before the Morning" by Josh Wilson. I was just looking it up on Yoo Toob, and I found the story behind the song...(deals with pregnancy/baby abnormality diagnosis)..... I just edited this post, because I immediately thought that watching the video would provide hope, but I was just now thinking that maybe it would be scary for some people to watch who are worried about their little ones inside.... I used to have the story embedded here, but instead, if you want to, you can go here to listen to their whole story- it is a beautiful testament to the preciousness of every life that God creates.
I'll leave you with the song, which is one of the most inspiring ones I've heard in a while. Be encouraged today!! This pain is just the dark before our morning!!!
I'm just now catching up on your last post. You are doing the right thing by praying and thinking about this decision. Whatever you decide, all of us will be behind you. I have lots of hope that you will become a mom, A. Hopefully that happens this cycle so you don't even need to travel down the IVF path again.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LOVE LOVE this song! I just had my hubby put it on my ipod last weekend and listened to it a million times! =)
ReplyDeleteWow, what an encouraging song! I love it! I hope you don't mind if I "steal" it and put it on my blog. I'd like to share it with my friends and family who don't read all our "infertile" blogs.
ReplyDeleteThis is just so beautiful. Thank you for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteThis one is my favorite song right now too! I blogged about it awhile back too...I love the "life is not a snapshot" part the best.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this song with us. It made me cry. It's so true we need to see the light.
ReplyDeleteLove it, such a beautiful song. Thanks for sharing!! And thinking about you hun, you're definitely in my prayers!!
ReplyDeleteI too am just catching up on your last couple of posts. I am praying for God's guidance for you and of course I am praying you are pg and won't need any future RE appointments :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting this song. I went to a bridal shower yesterday and as it often does at these type of events, talk turned to babies, how many they would have, etc. So I have been having one of those days where I have been questioning why we have to walk this difficult path. I love the line where it says the pain we are experiencing doesn't compare to the joy that is coming. I needed to hear this today! I may also post this song on my blog if that is okay.
I found your blog through Jess McClennahan's. You left a comment about infertility and I was moved to check out your blog. I too was asked to walk the painful journey if infertility. I remember the grief, sorrow, anger and sadness. Thankfully the Lord did not leave me in the desert and allowed me to have twins (through ivf) and eventually adopt an amazing son from China.
ReplyDeleteI know there aren't words to assure someone in your place that He will give you children, but I am certain that He will one day bring you out of the desert and as the song you posted says the joy will be uncontainable.
He is good!
Blessings,
