God, Are You There? Part II

During the week of February 18, 2013 and into the following week, I found myself asking again, "God, are you there?" I felt so alone and as though no one truly understood what I was going through. God reminded me three more times through three amazing ladies that He was/is there.

First, I received a Facebook message from a friend, Becky, whom I have never met in person  but was introduced to me via Facebook by my wonderful sister, Morgan. Becky, like me, struggled with infertility and was one of the first of several women to reach out to me concerning this struggle. She messaged me that week to let me know that God had brought my name to her mind several times and that she had been praying for me.

Second, my friend, Kelly, scheduled a frozen yogurt-date and took time out of her busy schedule to listen to my heart and pray with me. The words that she spoke to me were some of the same words that I had told God I had needed to hear earlier that week.

Finally, I went to our church's annual women's retreat. As I was sitting at breakfast, one of the ladies I hadn't had the opportunity to get to know came over to me and gave me a hug. I was a little surprised because I didn't know her that well. She started to walk away but turned back around stating, "God has brought your name to my mind several times recently. Is there any way I can be praying for you?" I think my mouth dropped, and I said, "Yes! David and I have been trying to get pregnant for some time now." She said, "I knew it! That's why I was supposed to talk to you.  I struggled with infertility for 9 years." So she began to share her story and introduced me to Psalm 113:9.

Isn't God good? He knows exactly what we need and when we need it, and He is always faithful.
