This past weekend Q was out of town and it was just me and the girl!
I’d been invited to a baby shower of a life-long friend on Saturday; a friend I hadn’t seen in five years! I was really excited to see her and for her to see Moriah. But, if I’m honest, there was a tinge of pain…

Sweet… my sister and more than one dear friend shares your struggle. It was always hard to know what to say or do… glad to see that God gave you the desire of your heart… and is using you to speak hope and love to women walking that road…
Thank you so much for sharing this, and for your prayers for us!
I get the infertility thing….it’s awful. I’m still avoiding baby showers. Online shopping is a great idea 🙂
I appreciate you having the link up!
I can completely relate also. My husband & I had difficulties conceiving when we first wed & I remember all the heartaches associated! I love your idea of online shopping to make things easier on yourself! There is no need in putting more heartache when it is unnecessary. I found Wal-Mart shopping cards (though not cute but very practice) worked nicely for me. My husband & I have since experienced 2 births & recently one adoption. However, I still struggle with “baby things” over the last 2 years when we lost our baby. I understand your feelings & I know God’s love is sufficient! We are again going through international adoption of our 13 y/o daughter; she is deaf-mute & ages out in March. We have not rebounded financially from our first adoption completed in July. However, we know this is God’s will so we are going on complete blind faith. Please pray with us that we will listen & hear God’s words on how He would have us to pay for these expenses. We trust He will provide in HIS time. I have to admit that lately, I’ve been focused on how can I raise this money…selling extra items, making this, setting up at markets, etc., etc. I’ve exhausted myself & I’m finally realizing He has a plan for our specific needs because He has laid the ground work for this adoption too – we are just the vessel. I’m turning it over to Him but please pray for me to fully turn it over to Him (no stressing) & for us to Hear his voice. http://long-road-to-china.blogspot.com/
Thank you for sharing as it’s a subject that is hard to tackle but I know that it’s a very common struggle!
I am not yet married or even close to being a mom but I was in a really bad car wreck two years ago and ever since then I worry if I’ll be able to have children. I am blessed to have a man who is willing to adopt if that is what we have to do. He also tells me that I need to not worry about things that aren’t in my control, but sometimes I can’t help it.
I am now following your blog via GFC and email!
I stopped over via the blog hop at Our Everyday Harvest.
