schulme2

Happy Friday ladies!

Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

Do you feel filled with hope yet?

Do you have a favorite verse to bring you hope on days when you feel it's lost?

Do you need us to pray for anything for you?

Any new struggles/revelations this week?

***Pregnancy mentioned ladies***

Do you feel filled with hope yet? Thanks for the verse, its a good one for me especially this week. I need to be reminded to hope. 

Do you have a favorite verse to bring you hope on days when you feel it's lost? This week, I have been repeating Isaiah 41:10 over and over to myself. 

So do not fear, for I am with you;
    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Do you need us to pray for anything for you? This is the gestational week we lost our daughter for no known reason. I am dealing with fear and anxiety and praying for lots of peace. I dont think it will get easier after we pass this week, but I am also just terrified of this week. 

Any new struggles/revelations this week? The eternal struggle of joy in the midst of grief. That is the PGaL journey.

Do you feel filled with hope yet?  No, not really. Granted its just barely been a month, I'm not exactly sure when I should start feeling hopeful again.

Do you have a favorite verse to bring you hope on days when you feel it's lost? I'm not very versed in verses.... I enjoy reading what others have to say though.

Do you need us to pray for anything for you? Just for me to find peace.... its been so very difficult to just be me.

Any new struggles/revelations this week? Nothing really new, same old same old. Although this morning when driving to work, I saw a small opening in the clouds. Its been so dark and dreary here but this little opening was bright and the sun was peeking out. I wanted to take a picture but I was on the expressway and couldnt. I'd like to think it was a little sunshine from my baby to brighten my dark and dreary mood.

Do you have a favorite verse to bring you hope on days when you feel it's lost?There is a few in Corinthians that I have around the house.

Just that I don't go crazy with TTCAL

Any new struggles/revelations this week?

I start my new job on Monday. I haven't worked since I was taking off for bedrest in June.  Should be interesting.

@neptunebljc prayers for you ttc and going back to work! I have the same feeling about TTC again. It was so consuming for me last time and I'm so afraid it will be like that again.

Do you feel filled with hope yet? I don't feel filled. I have moments where I feel it, but I don't feel filled. I feel peace and comfort, and right now, that is enough.

Do you have a favorite verse to bring you hope on days when you feel it's lost? 1 peter 1:6-7 "so be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold - though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world."

Any new struggles/revelations this week? I'm struggling with whether I'm expected to not be sad. I had a friend ask what can I do so that I am not sad all the time when I think about Colton, and no matter how I try to think about it, I don't see how I won't be at least a little sad. And honestly, I don't think there is anything wrong with that, but apparently others do. I am praying God will show me His desire and that I will focus on that and on how I need to love my little boy and not worry about what others think I should be doing.

Do you feel filled with hope yet? Yes, in life's uncertainties, I just lift it all up to Him. And yes, i found hope and answers among you ladies out here. This is my opportunity, i guess, to thank you all. Who knows that the people that I havent even met before can make so much impact in my life particularly in those very difficult moments.

Do you have a favorite verse to bring you hope on days when you feel it's lost? It's not really a bible verse, just a quote from another strong mom. Basically everyday here on earth is just like another opportunity to get closer to heaven and be with my son again.

Do you need us to pray for anything for you?
I think i have asked too much already. I just pray for thanksgiving.

Any new struggles/revelations this week?
I just had my first AF after my loss. It gave me more hope that we can try again soon. I just need to get in shape, eat right be healthy and happy.
