Creative “Adoptions”
How does children, animals, and seniors all relate to infertility?
How does children, animals, and seniors all relate to infertility?
It’s a question many of us women face. When is it okay to buy baby items? Should we prepare or wait? If we’re infertile, what should we do with the stuff we have?
“He gives the childless woman a household, making her the joyful mother of children…”
A prayer for the medical staff working with infertile couples
This post filled me with goosebumps and awe of how much God cares about the details.
I pray this gives clarity, courage, and strength to others today.

I want to take some dedicated time to truly thank each infertile couples’ family and friends. Anyone that is connected to someone dealing with infertility can tell that it isn’t an easy trial to go through. But those family and friends that walk through it with the couple, they feel it and grieve it in their own way too.
To those who have adopted or are considering adoption, I think it is fascinating to realize that you were adopted as well. If you are a child of God, then you were adopted the moment you said yes to a relationship with Jesus. You are a chosen child of God. Wow! What a thought.
A praise to the Lord for our own adoption. Life has purpose and we have much to be grateful for.
Have you ever had the passion of saving a life? Has abortion been a heavy burden on your heart? This may be the opportunity God desires for you. Perhaps He’s been planting this seed all along. There’s always a reason for the things you are passionate about. This fertility option is one that allows you to not only hopefully make a life but to save one or more as well.
Over the past few months, the Lord has been nudging at me to be more vulnerable and more open about what He has been teaching me, especially through our journey with infertility. My prayer through writing this is that the Lord uses what He has laid on my heart to connect with you; to show you that you are not alone in your thoughts and that your feelings are known and understood.
