Praise You in the Wait
by Darlene Suter
I didn’t want to get out of bed- didn’t want to face the day.
This pain of infertility- it takes my breath away.
It seems everyone around me is sharing their good news,
But every month the disappointment reminds me what I lose.
I’m not complaining, God, for I know You hear my plea.
I know You have my best in mind, even when I fail to see.
I’m just being honest with you, God, and I know that You don’t mind.
I want You to search my heart, even when I’m afraid of what You’ll find.
I want my motives to be pure when asking You for such a treasure.
I don’t want a baby for selfish reasons so I can receive the pleasure.
So I’ll wait on You with faith and when my fear persists,
I’ll ask You for the strength to stand no matter what Your answer is.
I’ll praise you because of who You are and my heart will rest assured,
Because of the depth of Your perfect love I know I can endure.

Praise You in the Wait
I saw this poem here ,and thought you all might like to read it. We're not ttc anymore so we're not waiting for our biological baby, but we're still waiting...waiting for someone to choose us to adopt their precious child.

That's beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Just found your blog. I love the design, it's beautiful! Mine is pink too. And the poem is touching, as is your note to your friend a few posts down. I'm at the point myself where I'll probably do a 3rd IVF and then look into adoption, so it's great to read about your experiences with it, so thanks for sharing!
Hope your weekend was good....how did the meeting go! Did it go??? I sure hope so!
Praying for J...hope he can slow down soon, you are right, he doesn't have much weight he can afford to loose!!!
Not much going on here lately!
Have a good week!
