I've turned a corner!

With about 2 weeks until our treatment consultation, I have turned a key corner in this journey.  Last weekend, I went on a women's retreat with my church.  It was just what I needed!  I arrived feeling very tearful and overwhelmed and spent most of the first day crying.  Over the weekend, I had time to release my fears and concerns to God and deal with some other key issues in my life.  I left feeling refreshed.  I realised that God had been doing some amazing things in me over the last few years that I hadn't noticed because I was so focussed on this one issue of having children!

The following week was half term for me and it gave me more thinking time.  During that time I decided to write down all of the promises/prophetic words that I had received from God unaware that this was going to bring me to a new place in my journey.  I was amazed to see how much God has already told me about my children.  Yes - you heard correctly - my children!  It's amazing how tough challenges can cause you to forget what God has said.  Now I can wait expectantly as I know that God has spoken into my situation.  I feel at peace and I know that God can and will do it!

So, in two weeks I will be going to my treatment consultation and will be preparing to go ahead with the cycle over the summer.

Before I go, I have a few more points:

1.  Please keep praying for me and others who are on this journey.
2.  For those who know me in real life, for the next few months, please don't raise this issue unless I do.  I just need the time to be "still" as I go through this process.
3.  I will be writing my blog through the process but I'm unsure as to whether I will publish my posts immediately.  Please bear with me - I'm new to this and not sure how the process will affect me.

Finally,  enjoy life!  I had a wonderful conversation with one of my closest friends about the importance of living life to the full!  I have to remind myself sometimes that there is more to life than having children or whatever else we may be waiting for in life.  Let's make sure that in the waiting that we don't miss the present.  We have so much to be grateful for and so much to live for!

Be blessed!
