Infertility, miscarriage, endless waiting – it all feels like punishment. Like God is mad at you. Like you messed up at some point, and now He’s slapping you on the wrist, making you pay for your mistakes. You can’t understand why God would allow this pain in your life, why He would refuse to give you a child.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dear friends, this version of God we’ve created in our minds isn’t the true God. When we read the Bible, we see God is compassionate. He is faithful, forgiving, long-suffering. He is our shield, refuge, deliverer, and Father – a perfect Father who loves perfectly.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
God is also holy. He judges sin. We deserve punishment for disobeying and rebelling against Him. That’s what everyone deserves – not a baby, not any good thing. We deserve death.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And yet, God doesn’t give us what we deserve. He doesn’t condemn us for our sins. He made a way for us to be spared. Jesus took the penalty for our sins when He died on the cross. That's why it’s called amazing grace! We should pay for our mistakes, but we don’t. We couldn’t. Only Jesus could save us.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Although those who know Jesus are saved, we still experience pain because of the presence of sin in this world. Infertility is a disease; miscarriage is death. These problems are a result of Adam and Eve’s sinful choices in the garden. But the grace of God transforms the curse of sin. Every hard situation He allows has a purpose. Every heartache will be redeemed.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This awful waiting period that feels like punishment? God has a good reason for it. I can’t tell you what that is, but I can tell you what it’s not. It’s not to make you suffer the penalty for your sins. Jesus already did that for you. You can’t be punished for what Christ already paid. So run to Him for comfort in your waiting. Your loving Father is always near. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“He does not deal with us according to our sins,⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
nor repay us according to our iniquities.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
so great is His steadfast love toward those who

"We feel like no one can make it better, so we'd rather just stew in our emotions. I’m especially tempted to distance myself from my pregnant friends. Even though I know they love me and only want to encourage me, I’m still reminded every single time of the major difference between us – that I’m still NOT pregnant.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But that's what the enemy wants me to think! He wants me to isolate myself and believe I’m alone. He wants to drive a wedge between me and my pregnant friends. He works best in isolation … in the darkness. Because that’s what isolation really is – darkness. It’s keeping your struggle, your pain, your desires hidden. We think we're protecting ourselves, but really, we're shutting out the truth, blocking the light from saving us." ~ Callee Maglothin⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

"When she gets pregnant, and I’m still trying.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When she has the baby shower, and I have nothing to celebrate.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣When she delivers a beautiful child, and I experience a loss. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This questions creeps up on me no matter how much I guard my heart.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Why her and not me?"⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It's one of the hardest questions we face in the struggle to have a child. Our friend Erin Greneaux (@eringreneaux) is on the blog sharing an honest conversation she had with the Lord, wrestling through the emotions that make it difficult to rejoice with those who rejoice.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine system disorder with no clear cause. PCOS is the most common endocrine system disorder among women of reproductive age. Infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods, high testosterone levels (which cause excessive hair growth, weight gain, or even obesity), insulin resistance, and infertility are all regularly occurring with PCOS.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PCOS is straight-up confusing! We know it can be a struggle understanding the diagnosis and what it might mean for your journey to grow your family. Check out our blog post explaining more about the disease (link in bio).⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Since PCOS is so widespread, tag a friend who could benefit from learning more and hearing stories we'll be sharing throughout PCOS Awareness Month!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

"One day I heard Mercy Me’s 'Even If' and the testimony behind it and it hit me. Regardless of what may happen, IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL. I realized that I have walked this walk with some really high highs and some really low lows, but every bit of it was for a reason."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Last week, I read a story about the investigators for the Federal Reserve. They spend years studying and searching for fake money all over the United States; $61 million is estimated to be in circulation. Counterfeiters rely on our inability to distinguish the difference between real and fake bills. They do not succeed by studying fake bills; they learn the most by knowing every detail of the real thing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The same is true for us and God's character and His word. We cannot spot a fake by reading and looking at things of this world, at idols. We must turn our eyes to the Cross, to His word. We must ABIDE in Him.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, how do we know what's what?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Word of God is a weapon, forged to combat forgery. Look at Ephesians 6:17: "the sword of the spirit, the Word of God," is our best weapon. We must prepare and be ready to discern what is true and what is not of God.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remember that in the Garden, the Enemy did not have to make up a huge lie to tempt Adam & Eve. His whispered lie worked because they thought of themselves, not about what God commanded, not that their God knew best. The Enemy merely suggested that they were missing out, and they gave into their flesh.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let us be on guard, sisters. Join one another to study His word, the Truth, to be aware of what is false. Let's look to the real thing. Train our eyes on what is true.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
