Psalm 147:3
He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.

Our prayers have been answered but not in the way we were hoping. It’s been a long road…one sprinkled with hope, fears, tears, 192 shots, and three surgeries. We did our best, no one can deny that. But in the end, we were given the news that we will not be able to have biological children. He is still good.

We don’t know what’s next. There isn’t a Plan B in place. In Isaiah 46:4, He says, “I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.” If you can be praying that God makes our next steps obvious…whether that is to adopt, foster, or remain the two of us and use our time and resources in a different way, that would be wonderful. I know there are some incredible stories about families getting similar news and then later conceiving but for us, it is literally impossible. We’ve reached the end of our biological baby journey and are moving forward with the hope that God has a plan for the pain we are experiencing. Of course, we are sad, disappointed, and heartbroken. Some days are harder than others and we continue to lean hard on God’s character and who we KNOW Him to be. He’s a good God.

We’ve deeply appreciated all the thoughts and prayers on our life journey. There’s no doubt about it, God has given us an incredible community!
