This blog was a balm to my soul, a reminder of the importance that God is for us not against us. That in the midst of the confusion, pain and disappointment, He is always with us. We may never have the answers we seek, we may never know why we are unable to have the children we felt were promised to us, but we can always know that God is with us, loving us and encouraging us in his ways. Thank you for your faithfulness and vulnerability in sharing and encouraging those of us walking through the challenge of infertility.
These words were balm to my soul. “Between hope and disappointment.” I have wrestled with the “why” too and have slowly come to realize we don’t get out why questions answered. Rarely ever. My disappointments have led me to accuse and avoid God as well. Man, your words spoke directly to me as I continue to wrestle with my own disappointments. But I have a little clearer picture now thanks to you!
Hi Emily, I’m so sorry that you’ve been dealing with hard disappointments too. But so pleased that some of this resonated and encouraged you. Praying you continue to know God’s peace in the unknowns x
These words are beautiful: “But maybe understanding ‘why’ is simply not the point. Maybe the point was never to act as a guarantee of any specific outcome, but simply to encourage and equip us with the knowledge that God was there, and the reassurance that He cared about what we were going through.
