21 days...

In Church today a great friend, Barb, saw me from a far and had a huge smile on her face. I was curious as to why, but when I got closer she said, did you know it is 21 days till your birthday??? I said, no I didn't and she gave be a big hug and told me how much she cared for me. She also gave me a card (which I was wise enough to read once I got home so I didn't cause a scene) and some ghiradelli carmel chocolates!!! It was so thoughtful! Her card meant the most...I know she is praying for us and she said that she prays that God blesses me with the desires of my heart. This is one thing I have learned through the journey, it means SO much to know that there are friends/family that are diligently praying for us. It helps carry me though!

God really has spoke to me this week through Phillipians 3. It was our reading for the week, which I normally don't do...but I did, and one verse stuck out...forgetting what is behind, and striving forward to what lies ahead. This was also the main verse for the sermon today. With infertility it is always hard to be excited in the 2ww (2 week wait) because I have the constant reminder of how every past 2ww has turned out. But God spoke to me and wants me to FORGET (choose to neglect, or not think about) all the past 2ww disappointments and strive forward for what God has planned ahead. What PERFECT timing for this, God knew I needed to hear this at this exact time, thank you!
