Journey to Motherhood

Hello everyone,


Lately I have been discouraged. This discouragement comes and it goes. What I am learning is to focus on gratitude when I am feeling this discouragement. I focus on what I do have in my life rather than what I do not have. God is peeling away at the layers and I have found that I do not always want to participate and go deeper. Erin (a dear friend) made me realize the gratitude I should have in my life that God has given me direction. Now I must work on discipline. I have a deep worry that Chad and I will not be pregnant again for a while, call it intuition and this makes me sad. So, God keeps chipping away until I am ready to surrender. I always feel like I must be doing something to help "this Journey to Motherhood" and my diet is improving and I am considering going back to the herbalist and acupuncturist. Right now I will just sit tight and wait and see.

Take a moment to see moments of Grace in your life and instead of praying from the waist down with prayers of specific needs and wishes pray for contentment and grace and let God's divine power work what is right for you.

Just a little update. I have been seeing a herbalist and it has made a huge difference in my cycles! I encourage rest, relaxation, and herbs over infertility treatments if you are just starting out. See a liscensed herbalist for all the potential mom out there. Finally, after almost two years Chad and I are taking everyone advice and letting go- have fun with life and stop trying so hard to ahve a baby. Giving up this control was much harder for me than it was Chad! But I must start living my life.
