I woke up and tested. Faithfully. No symptoms. Just hopeful. That's when I saw my faint, but visible, answered prayer. I immediately began crying and thanking God for hearing our prayers. And in that moment, in my moment of joy and gratitude that I have been waiting for, I said a prayer for all of the women who know how it feels to wait, and wait, and wait some more. For the many women who have been trying for longer than I have. For those that feel as though there is no hope. For those who watch their friends get pregnant only hoping for the same, attend the many baby showers, while holding back the tears and try to hide the lump in their throat and the void in their heart. For those who hold a HPT, month after painful month, and examine it for hours, closely, and talking yourself into MAYBE seeing something?...only to have AF come in hours later and rain on your parade. For those that cry alone, and for those that cry with your significant other. Those that feel like less of a woman each time they don't see two pink lines. For those that feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. For the many beautiful women who are waiting for the moment I finally had.

Because this was also me. My friend became pregnant the first month she tried, and my husband and I began trying right around the same time. She actually just delivered her baby not too long ago. I felt pain in my heart as we headed to the hospital to visit her, because my body had yet to even conceive after so many months. But after months of praying, months of focusing more on God and digging into my bible, changing my focus and my attitude, I remember how I felt as I walked into her hospital room. I saw her beautiful baby girl, and it made me feel many emotions...it wasn't easy! But I stayed so strong! I even held the baby that I thought I couldn't hold, just because I thought it would bring me to my own selfish tears. And that's when I heard it.

In my heart, I felt God speak to me and say, "I am no respecter of people; what I have done for her, I will do also for you. So when you see this baby, and when you see a pregnant woman, feel joy in knowing that I will do the same for you. This is a promise from Me." It was a beautiful thing to think on, and I promised myself I would. And I did. And all I have done differently is give my situation to Him, ask Him for our blessing, believe His word is true, and only confess positive things from my mouth. EVEN when I tested and it was negative. Even when AF unexpectedly came. Even through the tears, I thanked God for His promise to me.

And after months that felt like years, I tested. When a faint line showed, I burst into tears, and thanked God for His faithfulness! The next thought that came into my mind was the many other women, waiting for their moment, and that's when I prayed. I prayed that anyone waiting will ask God for this miracle, trust and believe it will happen, and to thank Him daily. What He does for someone else, He WILL do for you...and it will be NOT in our own time frame, but HIS perfect timing!! HE LOVES YOU AND HE IS A GOOD GOD! HE KNOWS THE DESIRES OF OUR HEARTS!!

Matthew 21:22 - "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."

Matthew 7:11 - "So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask Him."

Jeremiah 29:11 - "I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for."

Sending love to all of the women waiting on their miracles ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
