Hello Friends! This has been an inspirational and hope-filled week for women everywhere who are battling infertility. I have read so many wonderful perspectives and ideas that I wish I would have had access to while walking through the wilderness.
I have declared victory in this area, but the pain from that difficult time of loss never completely leaves me. Those years aided in awakening my senses to a God who had a greater purpose for my life. I’ve learned to trust Him through fire. His grace is sufficient.
My heart and prayers are with the women who are fighting now. A few weeks ago, I was approached by a lovely blogger named Amanda who asked me to take part in writing a collaborative post from women who have come out on the other side of infertility. Amanda has a beautiful blog titled, www.aroyaldaughter.com She is a fantastic writer who happens to be waging a war of her own against infertility, and I was honored to have the opportunity to write for her.

Although we are wrapping up National Infertility Awareness Week, please do not forget to continue to pray for women everywhere who desperately want a child to call their own. They need hope, love, and encouragement. Your gentle whispers to Jesus asking for strenghth and hope would mean the world to them.
Enjoy your day!
Love,
Jennifer
This is offensive. Jesus won’t help me get pregnant. Science will.
Hi Kelly. I am sorry if you are offended by my beliefs. That is not my intention. I struggled through infertility for 15 years. During that time, I had five miscarriages and a stillborn daughter. I also used science to become pregnant. I went through IVF and it was a very difficult road. However, the process did work for me.
Through it all, I trusted in Jesus and found my peace in Him. I write from that standpoint, because it is what is I experienced and how I live my life. I believe the Bible to be the infallible word of God. It is where I found my peace during my darkest days. You and I might have different beliefs, but I know what it is to feel like hope is lost over not being able to become pregnant.
I sincerely hope you are able to become pregnant soon and that all is well for you.
