Throughout this whole process, I've been praying a lot, and reading the bible, particularly Psalms, and clinging to certain things that God is saying. I thought I would share some of them:
Romans 5:3-5 - Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
Psalms 37:4 - Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalms 128:3 - Thy wife shall be as fruitful vine by the sides of thine house; thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
John 14:12-15 - I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
Overall, though, I've learned a lot about myself, and grown a lot spiritually through all of our fertility struggles. My husband and I are closer than we have ever been, and we started praying together, and discussing important issues on a more consistant basis.
