…is more important than bearing children.
This sentence, in the midst of an enormous quote by John Piper, took my breath away today. It almost caused me to fall to my knees…
You see, bearing children has been at the forefront of my mind for 3 years…three.long.years.
And in that time, I’ve had many arguments with God, I’ve prayed, I’ve questioned, I’ve pondered, I’ve cried, I’ve dreamed…
…I’ve grown, I’ve found a deeper love for my Savior, my eyes have been opened to His will for my life…
…but yet, have I truly figured out how to treasure Christ above a desire that is so deeply important to me?
Whether I bear children or not, God is in control and He has a greater purpose for me than anything I could ever dream of…
I’m going through a season right now that is uncertain.
But, what’s certain is, I am forever changed due to the trial of infertility. And at the end of the day, I know that I’m within the will of God and I know that there’s no greater place to be!
Will you pray for peace, direction, and wisdom today?
