Isaiah 55:8-9
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD.
"As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts."
Sometimes our plans that we have for our lives don't match up to what God has in store for us. In those times, it's really hard to find peace and to be positive - especially when our plans are such strong desires of our hearts.
My mom used to sing a song to us kids when we were little that went, "You can't always get what you want..." This is so true, but the second part of the songs is, "and if you try sometime, you find you get what you need." I think this song pretty much sums up what the Lord is telling us in Isaiah 55:8-9. We don't always get what we want, be HE knows what we need. We hold on to this hope that God is control and He knows exactly what is best for us.
This month was not the month for us. The next step for us is to begin fertility testing in August. For now, we continue to wait...

Hi Esther. I came over from Lisa's blog. I have been friends with her for a couple years now. We first "met" over on Xanga through her other blog. I already left a comment over on her blog about you, but I wanted to come comment over here, too.
I wanted to let you know that I will be praying daily for you and Jason. Waiting can be so hard. I'm not married yet, so I have not gone through what you are going through. But I am having to wait on God's timing in other ways...such as finding the man God has made for me when all of my friends are either married, engaged, or soon to be engaged. Anyhow, I can sort of relate to all of this...but definitely to this entry.
I love the name of your blog. Just yesterday I heard the song "While I'm Waiting" on the radio for the first time in several months. God reminded me all over again that He is in control, and I just need to surrender. It's so hard though! I'll be praying for patience for both of us. :)
Thanks for letting Lisa share your story with us so we can be praying for you, too! I have had so many friends overcome infertility, yet I still have some who are still waiting. I'm praying for you all.
Hello dear,
I come from Lisa's blog. She is a dear internet friend of mine. . . and asked me to pray for you. In all the years of our struggles
early term miscarriage
27 months of TTC--full term pregnancy--we named her Miracle! :)
15 months of TTC---ruptured tubal pregnancy that took my right reproductive side and almost my life
6 months of TTC and now 11 weeks pregnant with a uterine pregnancy--and holding our own!]
I have developed a prayer ministry for women going through the pain of infertility and loss. You will become a part of my prayer list.
May God richly bless you!
Melissa
