Thank you for sharing. And you nailed it. I agree. It's control. I get most angry at pregnant women who talk about their fertility and family planning as though they are completely in control. I want to very ungraciously scream at them and remind them that really they are not! Who knows what tomorrow may hold? I pray that you could give thanks in this ache, this unfulfilled desire, and let it remind you that He alone is the only person, the only thing, that can fill that ache. That He is in control. That He is good. <br /><br />So glad we got fly to africa together!Emilyhttp://two-years-later.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521148505390099606.post-88001922159319460532011-11-03T08:00:50.898-07:002011-11-03T08:00:50.898-07:00beautiful...I know this pain...the struggle of not...beautiful...I know this pain...the struggle of not being in control...having babies...losing babies...yes..each of these aches...become beauty for ashes...<br />Blessings as you struggle...finding rest in Him...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521148505390099606.post-90352574302331482182011-11-03T06:47:04.124-07:002011-11-03T06:47:04.124-07:00oh Leah, it is so hard to be human some days. and ...oh Leah, it is so hard to be human some days. and we each have our mountain.... never for one moment doubt it. yours is the desire for children that come from your own body. mine is the desire for good health. how I would love to be able to leave my house, go to church, and not return home knowing it will take me weeks to recover from the illnesses and other things I endure for that one short trip. but God knows our hearts and our burdens. and He weeps with us. just as He holds us when the tears fall, He smiles and laughs when we rejoice. <br /><br />your prayers are not falling on deaf ears. and you are not alone in this journey. many friends walk beside you. and you are loved.<br /><br />sending hugs to help you along. :)Jennifer Scullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06863776708503451968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5521148505390099606.post-24128425452965039832011-11-03T04:04:24.171-07:002011-11-03T04:04:24.171-07:00My heart goes out to you.

The trick is to find the peace, even with the ache, that only God can give, when we align our will with His. Lay everything at the feet of the Savior, and He will heal you and give you beauty for ashes.
