Encouragement!! (Updated)

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peacewill be with you.

I hope this passage encourages you to stay positive! Regardless we still serve a mighty God! And as long as He is on the throne everything will be ok! Remember it is all working out for our good!! (Roman's 8:28) I too have been TTC for over a year with my DH. It hasn't been easy! But God has definitely given me a peace that has surpassed understanding!! 

Christmas would be a perfect time for a BFP but even if I get a BFN our God is a good, just, and faithful! It gets hard sometimes but then I remind myself of the verse above. I have to stay joyful! Even when the devil is in my ear telling me to curse God, that God has turned a deaf ear to me. Then I remember the verse 2 Peter 3:9, "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." Gods timing is PERFECT!! And his ways are not our ways nor are his thoughts like ours. He sees the whole picture we just get a portion of the picture. We have to continue to trust that He is working it all out for us!! 

In the meantime keep being positive, keep rejoicing keep praying, keep the word of God on your lips and in your heart! Enjoy this time with your spouses. Continue to grow more in love with Christ and each other. Don't get so caught up TTC that you miss out on the intimacy with your spouse. Enjoy the now, what God is doing now. Don't let this one thing make you forget Gods other blessings that he has given you at this time. We may not be where we want to be but that God we aren't where we could be! In time, his perfect timing We will be mothers! In Jesus Name!!

But until then let's praise him for what he's already done!! Hallelujah to the Most High!! 

I'm praying for you all!!
