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.

We discovered Zechariah, from the tribe of the Levites of Israel last week. Now let’s explore his wife Elizabeth. Both of their stories are important and knit together.

What we cannot see in the present can leave room for doubt and questioning of God’s purpose for us. However, when we can set all of that aside, we can be assured that God is building our character for something great.

It’s time to pause in our quest for children and thank the Lord for our own lives.

This story is shared with us from Heidi T.. She was the surrogate for a family struggling with infertility. Each paragraph is a journal entry of her experience. Thank you so much Heidi for sharing and for stepping out with courage to help this family!

The thing that concerns me most for infertile couples is their marriage. The grief, constant waiting, and never-ending longing for a child can wedge a big gap between a husband and wife. My question for you today is this: are you fighting for your marriage?

God instructs us as Christians to live a certain way of life. One that shows love to Him and to others. One way to express that love is by hospitality.

A prayer for those who’ve had a child but are struggling to conceive again.

You’ve gone through the process to see if you have viable eggs and sperm. You’ve done the bloodwork, ultrasounds, and other various tests. IUI is not an option for you, so the doctor will then consider In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).

You’ve been through a lot. The constant waiting and guessing each month are wearing you thin. You don’t know when the testing, questions, and options will end. It’s time to switch things up. Let’s add a little zest to life again. Let’s plan something for you, your spouse, and the Lord to do that will refresh your spirit and marriage.
