God is good. We’re not pregnant.
God has a perfect plan
for us. This is not the plan we had for us.
Just under two weeks
ago, we transferred our last three embies into Gabby. We prayed, hoped, and thought this time might
be different. Yet, in God’s perfect,
albeit painful, plan, we’ve now seen all eight of the embryos we started with
go to heaven.
There are many
unanswered questions in all of this, but we are confident, while heavy-hearted,
that God has something better for us.
As we cried together, we
talked about some of the many, many blessings God has lavished on us. Through Jesus’ death on the cross and
resurrection (and ONLY through this), not only can we avoid the eternal
punishment in hell we deserve, but we can also have the hope of eternity in
heaven. Not only that, but God has
called us His children and loves us! We
have so many other reasons to bless the Lord. Thank you so much for the many
prayers you’ve prayed for us along the way. It's only through God's grace that we're able to have any type of comfort or composure in these situations.
And so we ask for your prayers
again. Please pray that God’s grace
would cover us with comfort and peace.
Please mourn with us as we acknowledge the lives of these embryos, brief
as they were (Let's acknowledge life!). Please celebrate with us
as we rest in the fact that God is good.
We’re not sure what we’re
going to do next at this time (so no need to ask). We still feel called to parent in some way,
but we’re just not sure if that means adopting more embryos, seeking domestic
adoption, foster to adopt, etc. But for
now, we’ll take some time to process everything together. That’d be another prayer request, for God’s
wisdom when we’re ready to move forward.
All Glory be to Christ
our King. God is our shepherd, we shall not want.
