Quiet Lately

I know I have been quiet on this blog lately. And, I have heard several people wondering what is next for us. For now, we are waiting and nothing much is going on. It takes time and appointments and all other kinds of things to get another round of IVF going. I am finding that this takes a lot of patience, something I do not have much of anymore! So, please know that my silence is because there is nothing to talk about. Well, besides how much I miss Jonah and Harper and how hard the days still seem to be sometimes...but, I'm sure y'all get tired of hearing all of that. 

I would like to mention something else though, at the risk of sounding mean. So, here goes: I have heard chatter ever since my last post about what we should do now. People have made comments like, "Well, maybe y'all should take a break" or "Are you sure you want to try this again?" and etc. Friends, please know that me and Aaron weigh our decisions before we make them. Please know that we pray about decisions before we make them. We want to seek God's Will for us because no matter what, His Will will prevail. Please know that there are reasons why we do what we do, even if we don't divulge those reasons here on this blog. Friends, it adds insult to injury when people question us as if we have not considered everything, or as if we have not bothered to ask God what He thinks. We are SO very grateful for all of the support that we have been given and continue to receive! But, please know that we are human and we are doing the best we can. Please know that it is not fair to make assumptions about what you think should be done if you have never been in the same situation. Please understand that words can hurt so deeply, whether they are intended to or not, when you are so broken and battered already. 

I started this blog to keep everyone posted on our journey, but most importantly so that our Christian brothers and sisters could be praying for us every step of the way. So, please keep remembering us as you pray. There are some very dark days on this journey that is long and a struggle, friends...even if I don't post about it on this blog.
