But God has shown me time and again I need to give Him the control and let Him plan my life. It's not easy by any means, but I know His plan is so much greater than my own. Good luck!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132471380770944157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1618559263667408983.post-67198497334817045212008-11-19T22:35:00.000-08:002008-11-19T22:35:00.000-08:00So insightful.

One of the things in this life that I understand the least and is so frustrating to me is WHY young, unmarried girls can get pregnant so easily and so many wonderful ladies, like you, who would make a good home for a child can't get pregnant and has to go through so many struggles along the road. You have probably wondered the same thing many, many times. I hope that one day, when you have lots of kids :), you can look back at these years and have a little understanding of why you had to go through all this.Amy Nielsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09572773962428046122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1618559263667408983.post-42575666492651235932008-11-15T21:04:00.000-08:002008-11-15T21:04:00.000-08:00We need to sit down and chat!!

With all my plans that...Beautiful, beautiful post. With all my plans that have come and gone, I have begun to redefine my understanding of the word "faith." I used to think that faith was the "confident assurance that what you hope will happen will come to pass." This was actually written on a card given to me by my MIL and now taped to my mirror. I now think that faith means "trusting that God will do what is best for you, despite what you think about it." Not as elegant, but more accurate I think. <BR/><BR/>In another analogy, perhaps you don't have to "let go of the boat," but rather be carried. Through all my emotions in the last 3 years, I have begun to really believe that God is carrying me through all of this. Because Lord knows, I couldn't do it by myself.<BR/><BR/>Hope that you land on your feet soon...Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11096628572640730109noreply@blogger.com
