Hi Friends! How is everyone? I so missed you all last week. I am hopeful this finds each of you doing well. @megrae12 is traveling to her RE appt and I'm posting on her behalf this week... I decided that we would talk about THIS post from Good Morning Girls yesterday because it spoke to me.

Please read the post and Read Psalm 84.

Questions:

1) Do you feel like you are fully able to trust God? If not, what can you do to fully give him your trust?

2) In what ways can you see God actively at work in the midst of TTCAL?

3) What reminders in Psalm 84 do you see of God's promise to stick with us through this?

Prayers

Praises.

Hi friends :-) I'm back from my convention and while work is a total mess still I'm trying to do better about checking in as I've missed you ladies.

Questions:

1) Do you feel like you are fully able to trust God? If not, what can you do to fully give him your trust? I feel like I want to trust God and I know he is trustworthy, but I often try to do things without Him or His input and that leads me to believe that I really don't trust Him like I should. I'm going to try and get back in the Word more consistently and pray more often as I know that when I do those things I feel like He is closer and therefore I feel like I trust HIm more.

2) In what ways can you see God actively at work in the midst of TTCAL? I see Him in the timing of things... like getting an RE appt a little quicker than I thought we would or letting me come home from the conference in time for O (at least it seems like I did). Sometimes it is harder for me to see Him in this, but I'm trying to be more purposeful in finding Him in this process.

3) What reminders in Psalm 84 do you see of God's promise to stick with us through this? "Blessed are those whose strength comes from you" (v5), "As they pass THROUGH the dry valley..." (v6), "Those people get stronger as they go along" (v7), "He is like a shield that keeps us safe" (v11). All of those statements spoke to me today... I need His strength... I like that it says THROUGH because it doesn't mean we are stuck in the dry valley... I like that it notes people get stronger as they go along. I like thinking of God as my shield.

Prayers Our first RE appt is tomorrow at 130pm CST... pray that we like the Dr and that there is a plan we are able to come up with. Prayers requested for work in general because it's stressing me out and specifically for travel at the end of the month as it looks like I'll miss my FW again which just stresses me out as well.

Praises. The conference I was at went well... One of our speakers and I got to talking and she has some TTC struggles and we were able to make a neat connection because of our struggles. Praise for being able to talk to a friend yesterday who has had 4 miscarriages and walked me through a lot of things she has found in her research.

MrsG80inTN · July 2014

jj32 - welcome. I'm so sorry for your losses and that you found yourself here, but I'm glad you have joined our group! I am lifting you up in prayer as I have many of the same issues with my recent loss. So many hugs.

MrsG80inTN · July 2014

Saw this on the facebook page for good morning girls today and thought I'd post:

littlecookie · July 2014

Thank you for posting @Mrsg80inTN

I like the post a lot.

1) Do you feel like you are fully able to trust God? If not, what can you do to fully give him your trust? I do. I trust that he is with me and he will help me navigate life and see me through challenges. I trust that he cares for me and he has a plan for my life. I don't always believe that everything will work out exactly how I'd like them to, but I know he will keep me whole.

2) In what ways can you see God actively at work in the midst of TTCAL? We're still TTA right now, but I feel like I saw him at work even during my loss when I asked for mercy after we found out things weren't going well. I'm hopeful that my cycle seems to be fairly normal right now and I trust that even now he is preparing my body.

3) What reminders in Psalm 84 do you see of God's promise to stick with us through this?

v3 Even the sparrow has found a home,and the swallow a nest for herself (I love the sparrow imagery)

v11 no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. ( I read psalm 34 this morning and it also talks about us lacking nothing in him, so sounds like this is something for me to grab onto)

@Mrsg80inTN I'll be thinking of you during your appointment and that you and your H feel comfortable with the plan. Many hugs and prayers for wisdom and peace.

@jj32 so sorry for your loss. Welcome to the group. Praying for you, my dear. Wishing you the realization that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Tons of love headed your way.

Praises: A family member had a surgery yesterday that went well, so I'm feeling very thankful for that. Also, CD1. I'm hopeful that after this bleed, my beta will come back negative and we can start moving forward.

Prayers:that H and I continue to communicate well during this reno which as exciting as it is, is kind of stressful.

Hey ladies, I will answer the questions and be more detailed this afternoon, I just wanted to ask prayer for my appointment today and for H's SA. We are hoping for good results.

graceanne927 · July 2014

Hi Ladies!

Thanks so much for the check in @MrsG80inTN. You are always missed. I love this study; thanks for posting! I am praying that you have a good first appt w/ your RE today. Please let us know an update when you can.

@jj32 Welcome! I'm so very sorry for your loss. I can empathize w/ some of the feelings you're experiencing right now. I'll be praying for you!

@littlecookie - it sounds like you have a healthy trust for God...very inspiring. Praying that you continue to grab onto his promises and stay grounded in your faith.

@megrae12 - praying for your appt today!

1) Do you feel like you are fully able to trust God? If not, what can you do to fully give him your trust? Overall yes. Do I have moments when I doubt....of course. I worry that God is faithful to his promises to everyone else and that I will be an exception. BUT then I look back and see in my own life all the ways God has and continues to bless me and realize how small my faith can diminish to when I let doubt and fear in.

2) In what ways can you see God actively at work in the midst of TTCAL? I feel God telling me, just like Angela said in the study today: If I trust him through all the pain and heartache; if I can just hold on and wait through this storm, God is redeeming and bringing a purpose and a beauty out of it. That I will see one day and look back and know how God drew me closer to him. He allowed the hurt because he saw a greater good emerging from my brokenness. May I get the oppty to say one day that b/c of this I have experienced a deeper trust and seen him work in amazing ways in my life.
3) What reminders in Psalm 84 do you see of God's promise to stick with us through this? This passage and also reading this morning the words to be said over my sister's wedding this weekend...has me in tears. And the words are still fresh on my heart and ladies God is sooo soooo GOOD! 10 years ago I saw my twin sister, my best friend, go through a devastating time. Her husband who she adored basically abandoned her while she was 8 months pregnant w/ her second son. Who does that? So a time that is supposed to be a happy and loving time during a marriage was tainted w/ a heart wrenching pain. I've seen her all these years overcome and have a quiet strength as she fought so hard for her marriage and then eventually resolved to being the best single mom out there. And even though this isn't about TTC it is about heartache and a pain that is hard to put into words. This w/e I will witness God's goodness as she becomes one w/ her new husband; who has promised to love her in all ways that her first husband failed and then some. I don't know anyone else more deserving of this...I'm extremely proud and grateful to witness where she was and where she is today. 10 years - her boys are now 13 and 11. I know this is long winded...but I'm also reading a series on Ruth currently and just yesterday I read how Naomi and Ruth when their losses were fresh could not imagine the better days that laid ahead for them. I know you're familiar w/ their story. But it's the same for us. We need to Trust that God is Faithful. Here's a quote from my reading yesterday:

What kind of God is this who could draw us, against all odds, into what seems like the least comforting of circumstance? He is the God who offers good news, comfort in sorrow, bread in a time of famine, blessing in a season of barrenness, and joy that overcomes all sorrow.

My prayer request is simply to hold on more to his promises.

My praises - see above about my sister getting married this weekend! God's love for us is AMAZING!

MrsG80inTN · July 2014

@littlecookie – I love what you said about not believing all will workout the way we want, but knowing that he will keep you whole. Amen girl. Prayers that your communication continues and that AF isn’t too terrible. What all are you renovating?

@graceanne927 – God will bring beauty out of this. I’m so thankful for your heart! What a wonderful story about your sister. How can we support you as you want to hold on to more of his promises?

@megrae12 - praying for you today love.

Update on me... DH called the RE to see if they got his SA... they did and already ordered a new one before ever seeing us so DH is already untrusting about the appt. EEK!

littlecookie · July 2014

@graceanne927‌ your bolded quote made me tear up. Thank you for sharing.

@MrsG80inTN‌ I've heard a lot of time they want to have their own tests. Hopefully, this is just standard and H gets more comfortable.

Thinking of you, my dear @megrae12‌

Edited. Tagged the wrong person.she must have been on my brain, because she doesn't even post on this thread. SorryHMP if you're reading this.

That is a good question! I really want my heart to remain hopeful and optimistic and I need a heart that seeks God more. I know that I do; but I need to do it more. These weekly check ins do so much good for me. Thanks for asking xoxo @MrsG80inTN‌
