Tomorrow is a big day for us. Around noon tomorrow, Wednesday, September 14, Dr. Johnson will take not one, but two of our embryos and transfer them into Paige's uterus in hopes that they will implant and a result in a pregnancy. This procedure tomorrow is the culmination of five years of the doctors consultations, appointments, medications, shots, medical bills, insurance claims, sleepless nights, long conversations, crying, and prayers. LOTS of prayers.
Tomorrow is a big day for us. But we are only at this place because God has seen fit to answer the countless prayers that so many of our family, church family, friends, coworkers, and even strangers have sent to heaven on our behalf. While only a small fraction of those prayers are known to us, every one of them, even the inaudible ones that never reached the lips, have been heard by our omniscient, prayer-answering God. We are so thankful for the ability to pray to the almighty God; to have the Holy Spirit work in our hearts to make sense of our groanings, to know that Jesus our Great High Priest is interceding for us and presenting our requests to the Father on our behalf. Prayer is truly a means of grace, and we are only at this place in our journey because God's people are a praying people.
Tomorrow is a big day for us. In many ways, it's the second biggest day of our married life, the first being July 16, 2005, when we both said 'I do' to a life-long, Christ-centered marriage. Little did we know on that hot Saturday afternoon 11 years ago that years of childlessness awaited us. These years would bring both joy and pain, struggles with sadness but also areas of growth. These years have certainly not been easy, but in this testing of our faith we have learned how to trust God through suffering.
Tomorrow is a big day for us. No matter what happens, though, God remains the same: most holy, most wise, most loving, gracious, and merciful. Jeremiah 31:3 says, “... I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.” God's love and faithfulness to us His children is eternal. So whatever happens tomorrow, on this big day for us, we know this to be true: God is sovereign and good, and we entrust our lives and our future to Him.
Thank you again to all who have prayed and continue to pray. May God receive the glory.

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your struggle. Though personally I can't relate to infertility I know how it feels to be afraid to open up about an condition in your body that can't be seen from the outside. I will be praying at noon tomorrow for you both, for those precious embryos and for the doctors. ����
