I struggled with infertility and fertility treatments for almost a decade and a half. It was so hard seeing friends, family, and strangers get what I wanted so badly, so easily. It's hard not to become angry, jealous, and bitter and I honestly did. I had to walk away from my dream job as a neonatal nurse because the pain became too much to bear. I felt hopeless and like there was something wrong with me and I was being punished. In the Bible, James chapter 1 talks about trials or the testing of our faith. Sometimes God tests us, and other times stuff in the world happens, and we go through a test of whether we will choose God or the world. The Bible tells followers of Jesus to expect trials (John 16:33 and Acts 14:22). To not be surprised when things don’t always go our way. Infertility is a huge trial, and it’s one many people, including followers of Jesus, encounter. Infertility and trying to conceive can be a nasty, isolating beast that I believe the enemy uses to steal our joy, kill our intimacy with God and others, and destroy our hope. Pursue God before you get your happy ending, and see what unfolds. When we make God our number one priority, if our hope comes from Him and the future He wants for us, He will bring us out on the other side. I’m proof that God heals, does miracles, and still makes and keeps promises today. My rainbow baby is due in November 2024. He keeps His promises.🙏🏼🌈 #ivfpregnancy🌈 #pregnantafterinfertility #infertilityawareness #ttcjourney #ivfwarriors
