It’s been a few months ago now, I got a letter in the mail from my Grandma. My Grandma is a sweet lady and sends cards to all her grand-kids for birthdays and anniversaries. (How she keeps track of it all amazes me!) This particular card didn’t land on a birthday, anniversary or holiday, so …
Baby Journey Update: Waiting…
I realize I haven’t written anything about our Baby Journey in a while. It’s hard to share when there’s really nothing new to report. And it is one of the hardest parts of this whole process… the waiting… Always the waiting. When you’re not waiting to actually be pregnant, you’re waiting in doctors’ offices, waiting …
7 Tips to Stay Friends Regardless of Your Mom Status
Infertility is an interesting thing. There are more women out there struggling with it than you probably know, and for us girls it is such a personal battle! As a woman who is struggling with this herself, I often feel like a failure of a woman because I cannot do this one thing God designed …
7 Tips for Those Struggling With Infertility
So after my last Baby Journey Update, I received a number of messages from other women on a similar path. It’s always simultaneously heartbreaking and comforting to find out others are going through similar experiences.

Our Baby Journey Update

A June Sunday Take Away
Does Jesus know you love Him? These were words that echoed in our Pastor’s head last Sunday when he woke up. Off and on all morning – they repeated themselves in his mind… “Does Jesus know you love him?” He shared these words with us. And talked about how easy it is in our lives …

Broken and Waiting…
For whatever reason this has been a hard topic to write on though it is always hanging on my heart. I’m the type of person that if someone asks me – I’m pretty much an open book. I’m not ashamed of my past or who I am now and I feel no embarrassment to divulge …
To All the Broken Hearted, The Childless Mothers…
To all the broken hearted, the childless, the women who’ve lost a child, and those who’s deepest desire is to be a mother but have been denied that blessing. Today I want to honor you! Mothers everywhere were lavished with love and affection yesterday. Gifts of fingerprint paintings, smudged drawings, and flowers picked fresh from …
