Infertility Support Group

Infertility has been the without a doubt the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with. There are times I have thought I am just going crazy. I have cried til I'm completely tired of crying. I am so sick of the feelings I get when other people are able to have a family so easily, and I have been so desperately wanting a family for over 10 years. I am so tired of dreading the holidays, because it is just going to be another Christmas without children. I wonder if this empty feeling I have will ever be filled by children. I know there are many others who are feeling or have felt the exact same way. I never would have imagined that God would use me in the way He is using me now. Connie and I had our first meeting tonight to plan a support group for women who are dealing with infertility. Our first meeting will be at 6:30 on October 18th at Ridgecrest Baptist Church in Ridgeland. If you are in this area, and are dealing with infertility or know someone who is, please get in touch with me. I truly believe it will make such a huge difference in our lives to be around others who are dealing with the same pain, struggles, and emotions. People who haven't had to deal with infertility just don't understand. They may try to understand, but they just can't. If you are interested in joining our group, please email me at melindab399@gmail.com

Little Prayer, Big Answer

Well, I washed Eric's new cell phone in the washing machine last night. I discovered it this morning when I went to put the clothes in the dryer. I was devastated. I cried like someone had died. We got our new phones at the end of July, so we have barely had them over a month. If you know me, then you know I can be a bit of a penny pincher. I will even talk myself out of buying a drink at the store. We are talking just over a dollar, so you can only imagine how I would flip out over waisting hundreds of dollars. I cried all morning. I was in a foul mood all day at work. I know, it was only a cell phone, and it can be replaced, but it was a big deal to me. I prayed and prayed that after it dried out it would work. This afternoon, just as I was about to leave work, my phone rang, and on the caller ID it was Eric's cell phone number. IT WORKS!!!!!! I was so excited!!! Now I wouldn't have to pay to replace a phone that I had just bought. I now realize that God allowed that to happen. He knew how to get me where it would hurt....my pocket book. Lately I have been feeling that my prayers aren't being heard. It has seemed that none of my prayers have been answered. God knew I was needing to hear from Him. I needed to see Him doing something in my life. It is so hard to make it through the tough times, but we have to keep our minds and hearts open to what God may be trying to tell us through those situation. He told me today, that He is still here with me, and that He hasn't gone anywhere, and He does love me. My prayer today was for something small and some would say it was trivial, but I got a BIG answer from God.
