A Big Step

Have you ever wanted something so badly and as much as you tried to keep your mind off of it; it always replayed back those yearning thoughts? Infertility is a sort of yearning that is unexplainable unless you have first handingly experienced it. For six years we have wanted a child and although we have gone on about our lives and done really amazing things that would not have been accomplished had we not been forced through this path, the yearning is recently stronger than ever. And perhaps it stems from losing someone dear to us and realizing how short life can be! I vividly remembering crying out for the Lord to save him and sacrifice my unborne children in return for his life in the hospital room. I guess the Lord had another plan. And that is just it; throughout our marriage we have learned that it is not about us at all. It is about what God has planned for our lives. That has been the most challenging part of this struggle is that it is not on our terms but His. So as we look forward to starting this new journey with a new doctor we hope that this is the path that he wants us to take. Most people know this was not an option for us at all, but there is this very strong pulling and feeling in our hearts that this is what we are suppose to do. The journey will be difficult and we know our wonderful friends and family are behind us holding us up. We are so thankful for each and every one of them and hope that by reading this blog they will know our journey and it won't be so difficult for us to have to fill everyone in on what is happening. So Dr. Werlin here we come!
