One year ago July 6th we found out our big news that our loooong road of infertility was finally coming to a close. It’s hard to believe that was a year ago. (I still have the pregnancy test. Is that too gross?) In some ways it seems a lifetime ago, and in others it seems just yesterday. Feeling such elation and excitement coupled with worry and concern that things won’t work out and we would be back at square one once again.

So much of what we/I worry about never comes to fruition. You would think that would deter me from my worry habit. I am so thankful for our little Wadester-blessing. I know that life with a baby often brings annoyances that I probably complain too often about, but I am ever-so-thankful that God allowed him into our lives.

I am thankful also for our time of infertility and heartache. I know that for whatever the reason, God had a plan in mind for allowing it. I know also that we grew through all that heartache and waiting, although at the time it was something that I wasn’t relishing… also desperately wondering if it would ever end.

My heart can truly break and cry with those that I know that are currently experiencing something similar. I can truly say that I know what it feels like. I know the pain of highs and lows… getting hopes up only to have them dashed again. I can share with them in the pain and in God’s amazing promises!

As for God, his way is perfect. The Word of the Lord is tried. He is a buckler to all those that call upon him…. Ps. 18:30
