I should probably preface this with two statements: 1) I will be forty in, now, less than one month. 2) That doesn’t really bother me, except…infertility is banging on my heart again like it has nothing better to do every.single.moment of every.single.day. So. This morning at church we sang a new song. I mean, I… Continue reading I Will Follow
About a year ago, this post hit the viral airwaves. It was all over Facebook and was all the rage in Christian circles. I read it then, and I really loved it. I see it pop up again, now and then, usually (ironically?) from people who have just had major “blessings” in their lives. I… Continue reading Wrestling
I’m trying to blog regularly, I really am. But I’m afraid that if I truly wrote what’s on my heart right this very minute, both of my readers would switch off their computers in disgust of my whiny self-pity. Keith and I had a discussion last night, again, about how life just seems so very… Continue reading Another
I don’t understand. We’ve had two snow days. Well, today makes two, technically, as it is only Tuesday, and the snow started on Sunday. Snow. Blowing. Drifting. Frigid conditions. The city, the state, is shut down. Schools closed. Churches closed. Businesses closed. That I understand. What I don’t understand are the people who don’t see… Continue reading I Don’t Understand
The internets tell me it is, once again, NIAW. I am not “over” my infertility. I have read post after post from adoptive mothers who claim victory over their infertility because they are busy parenting their children. I am not one of them. I am not victorious over my infertility. Because I am still barren.… Continue reading National Infertility Awareness Week
This is me being real. Just fair warning. I had to log off of Facebook last night and have Keith change my password. I am currently unaware of what my password is, and the only warning I gave was to my group of adoptive mom friends. I left them a message, because they are the… Continue reading Facebook: I Just Can’t…
Little Man loves to sing worship songs. We only listen to K-Love around here, because if he hears something set to music, it is in his head permanently. Even the station jingle! So he loves to pretend he is our worship leader from church. He will pick up the wii guitar, or his hand-me-down Cinderella… Continue reading Lyrics
Today is Mothers’ Day. I have very mixed, bittersweet emotions today. My mother is traveling home from Florida and a visit with my brother. This is the first Mothers’ Day in at least eleven years that we have not spent together. My mother-in-law came over and we went out to lunch, but my husband is… Continue reading Bittersweet Holiday
I am discovering that my views on life align more with the Catholic Church than the Protestants that I love so dearly. I can no longer stomach jokes,or even simple discussions, about vasectomies or being “all done” having children. Perhaps this stems from the Holy Spirit, but I am more inclined to think it stems… Continue reading Again
Last weekend I attended a Christian women’s conference. The conference was hosted by a different denomination than mine, and there were many positives and negatives to the conference. But after the third session, I found myself praying desperately for any infertile childless woman in the room. If there are 9,000 women in a room, statistically, according to the… Continue reading Church: Don’t Ignore Infertile Women
