I am trusting that God is weaving my heartaches into a beautiful tapestry.
But, DANG... it hurts sometimes.
Tonight is one of those sometimes.
I am finding that, for me, one of the hardest parts of being a young widow, is being childless.
Barren.
Empty.
Hungry for the flutter of baby in my womb.
Aching for the weight of a child in my arms.
The Lord knows my heart.
He created me with these maternal longings.
I'm scared that it may never happen.
It haunts me. And tonight, I can't seem to shake it.
My mind is wandering.
Not. Good.
Lord,
Please help me rest in You tonight. Quiet my heart.
You have told me not to worry about what tomorrow will bring. Open my eyes to see the treasures that you have already given me in Your good and perfect timing.
Amen.
The night is slowly creeping into morning, and am clinging to His promise:
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

I believe that if he gives you the desire then he'll give you the object of that desire. God's timing really is perfect, I've witnessed it in a friend's life - a friend who longed for a child for two years before she was granted her prayer.
Knowing that doesn't really make it easier on you but know I'll be thinking about you and praying peace for you.
Sending you hugs from Florida:)
Oh girl, I get that! I feel like along with grieving Heej, I'm also grieving the baby we were supposed to have, the mother I could have been, the family I thought was in my future. Are all your friends either pregnant or have a baby, like mine? It's a heartbreaking joy, right?
Thinking of you. Prayers,
Erica
Words escape me when I read your posts that show so much pain. You are in my thoughts. Be strong.
you are in my prayers tonight.
It will be something like please bless Brittany from Food for thought. I do not know her, but she needs your help and your comfort tonight.
My heart aches for you - as it aches for my "ideas & dreams" of what I thought life would like at this point as well. I like you trust in the Lord - I know He has amazing plans for you and I. If we can be open to His way, He will take care of us and guide us. Many many blessing and prayers coming your way!
Sorry to hear your heart is aching but it will all fall into place when the time is right. Hugs my friend from the other side of town!
Hang in there, your'e time will come. Try to be patient and trust in Him.
Dearest Brit, so sorry for being absent but please know I think of you fondly and just know things will fall into place how God has set up for you. Hugs and more hugs!!!!
So I don't know you, just loveyour food, but...I am so sorry sweetie. Definitely leave it up to God, have faith & he will always make great things happen, even when we are too depressed to see it. My best friends baby passed away from Sids a few years ago and it almost destroyed all of us. God will help you.
