Hearts of Hope

Hearts of Hope, the support group for women dealing with infertility, will have our first meeting tomorrow night, Oct. 18th. We will be meeting at 6:30 at Ridgecrest Baptist Church in Madison. Everyone please be in prayer for all the ladies who will be attending. I am so excited how God is already bringing women to our group. My mom let me borrow a book that has several stories in it how God brought families together. I was going to look over it and use a story for our first meeting. I had taken it with me to work, and as I was leaving work someone asked me what I was reading. I told her about the book and what I was using it for. She told me that a man at work had asked her if she new of an adoption agency. I told her to tell him about our group because it may be able to help his wife. Last Friday I called him, and he asked me to email him the information and he would pass it on to his wife. Friday night I got a message from his wife that she will be there, and that she had been looking for a support group in our area. It is so amazing that just because I had that book in my hand at the right moment, God used that to bring all of this about. There is one other girl that I have really been praying for. I have become friends with a cashier at Wal-Mart, (yes I know I have a problem when I go to Wal-Mart so much that the cashier recognizes me and we become friends :o) ) anyway, one of her teachers is dealing with infertility. From what I have been told she is having a really hard time. I have sent her a message, but I haven't heard back from her. I just pray she is getting the help she needs. The day that Reka, my friend at Wal-Mart, told me about her teacher, I knew that was the reason God created that friendship between us. He was preparing a way for me to reach out to her teacher. I pray we will have many more stories like these. I love being able to see how God is bringing this all together. When Connie first asked me about doing this, I really thought she was crazy because I thought I would be the last person God would want to do this. I am so proud to be involved with getting this group together. I am really feeling like this is God's calling for me. I knew when we had the failed adoption, God was preparing me to help others, and knowing that really helped me to get through it.
