Well, I know I don't make this the focus of my blog, but today I had to vent....
I am getting so ridiculously tired of seeing these:
Three months on clomid proved to be unsuccessful (two made me ovulate, but no baby) so now we are off to a fertility specialist (or RE, reproductive endocrinologist, as you will often see it abbreviated if you read infertility forums and such).
This morning I was reading Oswald Chambers, and something that he wrote, as it so often does, cut straight to the heart. Speaking of facing difficulties and suffering in life, he says, "How are we going to get the life that has no lust, no self-interest, no sensitiveness to pokes, the love that is not provoked, that thinketh no evil, that is always kind? The only way is by allowing not a bit of the old life to be left; but only simple, perfect trust in God, such trust that we no longer want God's blessings, but only want Himself. Have we come to the place where God can withdraw his blessings and it does not affect our trust in Him? When once we see God at work, we will never bother our heads about things that happen, because we are actually trusting in our Father in Heaven, Whom the world cannot see."
My prayer is that through this difficulty, the Lord would make me better, not bitter, and that no matter what the outcome is, I would be able to raise my hands in praise as Job did, and say, "The Lord gives, the Lord takes away, Blessed be the name of the Lord."

Amen Lyd! Thanks for the inspiration, and I'll continue to pray for you through this process.
Love, Kate
