To stay neutral in a time of joy. I think God makes us mothers long before we conceive. It is in us whether we have one to hold or not.<br /><br />I don't think that by being on the other side of the fence you have to forget or let go of the past because you are right, it is part of you and part of the story that God has written in His book for you. The fence is merely a point of separation between sides of your heart, and standing at the open gate is the next chapter of this story. You can have both. There is great rejoicing for you, your husband, your glory babies and this little one you will hold in the blink of an eye.<br /><br />Just because your circumstance has changed does not give you or your story any less weight to those still waiting for their's to change. Because really, at this moment, you are hope and encouragement in those seemingly hopeless circumstances. A testament to God's glory and goodness. You can have compassion for those still waiting and be joyful in this time without guilt. Because God is also working on their story! And just like your story is unique to you, theirs will be unique to them as well, to be used to bring glory to our God and to make Himself known to others.<br /><br />You and your family are being prayed for, Justine! Praise God for your joys that ease your sorrows. Praise God for your sorrows that sweeten your joys.Sarah Amidonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976503025134110962noreply@blogger.com
