Journaling:
For the past four years, we have experienced anticipation each and every month. Will we get a positive pregnancy test? Or will it be negative once again. No matter how many negatives we get, there is still that hope that this could be the month. But at the same time, the emotional roller coaster of trying to get pregnant takes a toll on us. That’s when we have to remind ourselves that we have to let go and let God. Remind ourselves that He is in control. Remind ourselves that He knows what’s best for us. It’s really a challenge for me, especially. For most of my life, everything kind of fell into place. It seemed what I wanted, God said okay! So when we finally decided to try to give Luke a younger sibling, I didn’t think anything would be different. Then the months passed. And then years passed. When we finally got our positive pregnancy test in November of 2007, we were so excited! Then less than a month later, for reasons only God knows, that baby was taken from us. So here we are. Still waiting. Still anticipating. Thankfully, God did give us our sweet Luke. If it wasn’t for him, I’m not sure how we’d deal. So each and everyday we thank God for our little boy. And we will continue to hope, pray, and anticipate that God will someday give us another baby.
