As I observed this vacant scene on the shores of Lake Erie, I marveled at the wonder of God’s creation and how, every year, He allows nearly every sign of life to be obscured by ice, freezing temperatures and snow.
When we first started trying for a baby two and a half years ago, the early months held tendrils of hope. My mind swam with thoughts of our future family, not thinking for a moment of the difficulty we might face along the way.
It was 6AM, and my eyes were heavy as I tried to make sense of the Scripture passage laid out in front of me.
Infertility is a physical problem, but it has ramifications that go far beyond the physical. God gave us not just a body, but a mind, heart, and soul (Matthew 22:37).
This is a word that has kept me going during a season of infertility. This word fills me with hope that the Lord has a purpose for this season. In this season of “not yet” and “keep waiting” the hope I have is that the Lord is always who He says He is and He alone is in control.
The new life I craved to be in my womb was actually growing inside my heart. He has a purpose.
