What is bad, and where we went wrong, God can turn around. I know you will bless others with your soft, sweet words of encouragement when you speak. If you have taught me one thing over the last months, it is that our God not only can, He does.Bobbie-Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291429607453490640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724432374556756119.post-21847797173617309242008-06-16T05:08:00.000-07:002008-06-16T05:08:00.000-07:00I love your heart for God, Kimmie.

I have some friends who deal with this too and I know how difficult it must be. I know that your faith is strong and God knows what is best. I am sure you hear that often but I am at a loss for words....<BR/>My blogger friend Crystal is dealing with great sadness due to her infertility. Also, Diane has a wonderful bunch of kids that she has adopted. You should stop by and visit them when you get a chance.

I can't imagine what it must have been like all those years of trying...so painful.<BR/><BR/>I'm so happy you have been blessed so abundantly with all of these beautiful children, God had a plan for them all a long and here they are with the mother that they deserve.<BR/><BR/>I'll be back, I've enjoyed reading through your posts.<BR/>Thanks for visiting mine and yes it took, I think, 8 tonnes of sand to fill that box.

I went on the pills, and my cycle got even crazier. They said it was time for testing, etc., but James and I knew in our hearts that was not the road for us. We didn't know why yet, we just knew we had no peace about it. I grieved and grieved. But, when I quit trying so much and poured it out to God, soon afterwards is when He first spoke "adoption" to us. Like you, I still grieve sometimes, although at 43 (on Sun), I'm over hoping for a miracle. With my health and at this point in life, that miracle would require a whole lot of others!! : ) I am post "wanting" to concieve, yet, I sometimes still feel that longing in my heart and body. <BR/>Thanks for sharing.<BR/>Letitia<BR/>www.homeschoolblogger.com/SandBetweenMyToes/Letitiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00744532677422668091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724432374556756119.post-47504174969959739852008-06-13T13:32:00.000-07:002008-06-13T13:32:00.000-07:00Hi Shawnda; Thank you for your kind words, I know ...Hi Shawnda;<BR/><BR/> Thank you for your kind words, I know it all to be true, but sometimes my aching womb gets the better of me.<BR/><BR/> The heart condition for the first time in my life- went into remission last year.

We've carried in the womb, felt our little one's kick, nursed, and given birth AND we've been graced with the great privilege of adopting children, a gift that goes without saying! God is using you, my friend, to speak of His faithfulness and kindness and provision! <BR/><BR/>I had no idea you have a heart problem.

All I know is that God has used this for good - not just the wise encouragment you give us daily, but loving & teaching & caring for children- who may not be from your womb, but are definitely from your heart! You are such an amazing person & I am so thankful that I stumbled onto your blog. <BR/> And just a verse for you - Psalm 113:9 "He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children" (NIV) - this makes me think of you!<BR/>What satan planned for weakness - God has used for strength!!<BR/>Renata :)Renatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546331512433403550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724432374556756119.post-56100057613091814072008-06-12T09:25:00.000-07:002008-06-12T09:25:00.000-07:00What an excellently written expression of what's i...What an excellently written expression of what's in your heart, Kimmie.Rennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03628198694622790891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724432374556756119.post-32807617591337491722008-06-12T07:53:00.000-07:002008-06-12T07:53:00.000-07:00Thanks for sharing your heart, Kimmie.

I first found it while looking for information on adding to our family through adoption.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry you've had to go through the pain of infertility. Thank you for sharing with such candor. I just want you to know that your strength and faith through such difficulty is inspiring. I don't know you except through what you write here, but I can see the reflection of our loving Father in your words and what you share of your life. May God bless you richly for your faithfulness and be your source of comfort in times of need.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11524853770980864488noreply@blogger.com
