Recently I sense myself entering into a new season in my life. My sweet daughter is about to turn a year old. She has transitioned from an infant to a toddler, and I find my days becoming increasingly 'busy' as I try to keep up with desire to explore and learn.
As time is passing and I reflect on the last year, I am beginning to face things from my past that have not gone away. Right before I found out I was pregnant with my daughter I began to look for answers regarding my health and fertility. This search quickly got put on hold when I discovered I was pregnant, and now that things are beginning to return to 'normal' I am beginning to pick up that search once again. I am looking back to the wide variety of struggles I had during my pregnancy and how those struggles are likely tied with past and current struggles. I am continuing to heal from past losses, and find myself beginning to guard my heart at the thought of potential future ones.
Our daughter is almost 1 and we'd like to have more children. I absolutely adore being a mom and with each passing month my desire for another child grows with in me; as does my fear of more loss and heart-ache.
I titles this blog "A Door of Hope", and there is much meaning behind the name. As I begin to glance into the unknown, I am reminded to rest on Christ because He is my source of hope. I am thankful for all I have, and I know that...
"As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more."
Psalm 71:14
