Having a baby has been on my mind a lot lately! I keep telling myself that when God wants it to happen it will. Oakley has helped alleviate some of the motherly nurturing I needed to so desperately give.
You see when I was younger, I always imagined that I would get married and have 2 or 3 babies by the time I was 25. I always wanted to be a young mother. Obviously, that didn't happen. I see people I went to high school with on facebook that already have 3 or 4 kids and think WOW! I know God has a different plan for me....I just have to be patient.
Josh and I got married when I was 26, I had the violinist and flautist play a song God Bless the Broken Road that is sung by Rascal Flatts(you really couldn't hear the melody well during the ceremony that day, HA) because truly Josh was an answer to my prayers and it seemed as if I went down a broken road to get to him! He is my absolute best friend, never did I think a marraige could be like this. He's my cheerleader, my hero, the leader of our family, and a God loving man. I feel like because of him, I am now closer to God.
I tell you all that to tell you this, we decided when we were newleyweds that we were ready to have a family. 3 short months later, in excrutiating pain on a Saturday, Josh rushed home from work and took me to the E.R. where they told me I was pregnant(we were shocked it happened so fast), they told me to rest and to go to the doctor on Monday. The pain subsided until that morning driving to the doctors office. The doctor had no answer for me, but that since I was in so much pain, I would likely miscarry. They would keep an eye on my hormone levels. That afternoon, Josh again at work, I couldn't take the pain any longer and he again came home and rushed me to the E.R. Where I sat & waited it seemed for days and I even asked Josh to take me home so I could die in peace(seriously)! Anyway, that night I had surgery, I had a cyst that had attached to my ovary and was bleeding internally. Also, the pregnancy was in my ovary, hence an ectopic pregnancy.
Since then, we have had no success! I went to the doctor back in October and they told me that Josh and I do work, we worked before, it just didn't have good results.
In all of my thinking lately, did I ever truly give this over to God?? I have prayed about it and I will continue but I'm completely handing it over to you God. Ephesians 3:20 God is able to do immeasurably more than all we could ask or imagine.
