So I said last month that I wouldn't be looking for every little symptom this month... harder said than done, as you know! I just O'ed today so now the waiting game begins. Any encouragement you can offer or words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated! Fortunately, I will be VERY busy this month, so that should help keep my mind off things...

Sarah

Praying for you hon! [praying]

Thanks again, Esther. You're absolutely right.

This of course has been a journey for me - both emotionally and spiritually (and physically!) and I'm pretty happy right now with where I'm at. Reading other ladies' stories has made me realize that it really is TOTALLY in God's control and that if it doesn't happen again this month, that it's ok 'cause He's got it all planned out either way!

Now, mind you, I may not feel like this all the way through the next few weeks, but I'm resting on His promises right now, and I love the fact that you ladies are around to remind me of them when... I start to forget! (I was trying to come up with some kind of cool metaphor for standing, sitting, getting up off of God's promises, but couldn't think of a way to word it... heehee).

We've been ttc for 2 years now, but I've been checked out and everything is normal and functioning. Dh didn't get checked, but after MUCH discussion, we decided not to intervene medically even if something were wrong with him. We've also started the adoption process (ok, really all we've done so far is fill out the application) and we'll probably continue with that when we get where God wants us next.
(Dh is being let go at end of March, but we have a lead on a new church already and my MIL has had some pretty cool messages from God that could possibly tie in! Looking forward to chatting with her in the near future...)

Transitions can be stressful, but it sounds like God has already got the ball rolling for the new path you are to go down. :D Let us know what happens, and if/when you do decide to go the adoption route.

So AF showed up tonight... as much as I'm disappointed, at least I know what to expect for the next couple of weeks again!

Couple of updates: my naturopath has suggested B6 and St. John's Wort for my anxiety, so now I get to try it for the next 2 weeks - as soon as I O, I hear it's a good idea to stop the St. John's Wort if you're TTC just in case...

Also, my grandfather just fell yesterday and broke his hip, so I may be going down to Florida with my mom, and dh and I have an interview for a potential church this Thursday! Whew!

I guess God knew all this would be coming up, and knew that I wouldn't be able to handle it AND being pregnant! I know His timing is perfect, so we'll just keep trying and pray that His will would be done in our lives.

Sorry to hear about AF, but it sounds like you have a really good attitude about the whole situation. Praying that everything (TTC, Granfathers hip, job interview) comes together just as it should. ((Bigs Hugs))

Thanks Kim! I'm feeling... ok about it all, but it's harder to keep it together when I get to school in the mornings, kwim? [whatwacko]

Yeah, but you can do it!! You just gotta keep on believing that God has a plan for you. He knows the desires of your heart. His time is the perfect time, all the time. My favorite scripture verse is in my signature and it always comforts me when I am struggling with something. With Him in our hearts, we can accomplish far more than we could ever ask or imagine. More than we could ask or imagine. Pretty amazing. And when your time comes, it WILL be amazing. Hang in there.[lovesmile]

Oh great... now you've got me in tears... :cry:

I really want it to be as special as I imagine, and more! So I'm willing to wait as long as God needs me to. I AM leaving it up to Him to work out. Thanks for the encouragement! :-D

aww.....I didn't mean to make you cry, Sarah![loveyou]

Praying for you Tripper!

Blessings!

Thank you so much ladies! I really appreciate the fact that you think of me and are praying for me.

I've had some really good conversations with irl friends lately, and I'm realizing I will need to make some lifestyle changes in the future (ie. housing, my job, etc.) but they're GOOD changes, and dh is very much in favour of me doing whatever I need to to feel good about myself. Don't know if that all makes sense (not a lot of detail here, I know).
