Today and everyday I am thankful for my infertility! Maybe that sounds strange to you but it is so true in my life. Sure the obvious reason I wouldn't have my 2 beautiful adopted girls if I wasn't infertile. But it's really more than that for me. Without my journey though infertility (or adoption), without the hurt and heartache, without the answered and unanswered prayers, I would not be the person that God intended me to be. I am thankful that God choose me to walk this journey though infertility, miscarriage, and adoption loss. Someone once said to me "God choose you. He knew you could handle it. He know that with Him you would walk successfully though this journey and in the end He would be glorified." Although many days were rough and didn't feel very successful, in the end God knew exactly why I had to travel the path He took me though. I've heard it said if you pray for patience, watch out God will bring things in your life to teach you patience. That is so true in many things in our life. I had so many prayers for God during my journey. Some might even say that didn't really get answered. But I say that God brought many things into my life to teach me exactly what He needed me to learn so that I would be the person He created me to be. I believe I got more than answers to my prayers. God grew my character. He taught me how to trust in His grace and mercy. He gave me strength, and endurance. And showed me HOPE like no other. Just the other day we were faced with a difficult situation and I remember thinking it's because of my journey though infertility that I know I can defeat this! I know what the other side of a trial looks like and I now know it's worth all the pain, grief, heartache to get here. Life will still bring trouble. But with each trouble we get stronger. And one thing is for sure I will not give up. I will not back down. Together with God I will face my giants head on. We may not win every battle but WE WILL WIN THE WAR!
Thank you God that you chose me!
