"It is Finished"-Christ

In John 19:30, Christ hangs on the cross dying for our sins and proclaims, "It is finished." Although my feelings cannot in anyway compare to his sacrifice, in some small way I can understand the meaning behind those fateful words. He paid the price and at that moment he knew his work was finished. Unfortunately our hopes for a child just aren't meant to be at this time so all I can say is "It is finished." I am exhausted with the events of the past year and just need a break but I wanted to post this blog to let everyone know who prayed for us that we are eternally grateful. I will continue to stay faithful that God has a plan, but I can no longer take the grief of being let down each month. Some say that once you give up that is when it happens. All I know is that I have to give up to continue to go on. I apologize for not answering the phone this week, I just know everyone was excited to know what happened and I didn't feel like facing it yet.

I probably won't write for a while because on top of everything else, school started this week. I am up to my eyeballs in work and I can't log on to blogger at school. The last thing I want to do is get on the computer once I get home.

Again, thank you so much. I feel so blessed to have such fantastic family and friends.

I'm so sorry to hear that. But you are right in just taking a break. I can imagine how hard that would be though. I actually recently read an article that said those with unexplained fertility issues that try IVF have no greater chance of conceiving than those that don't try it. And I don't remember the number, but the chances for not trying were much higher than I would have expected. And I think it was the chance of delivering within a year, not conceiving. So take some time for you and you never know what might come along.

I hope you're school year is starting off well. Good luck with everything.

Sounds like you are doing what is best for you right now. Just giving it to God. I really believe he has a prefect plan for all of us. We will keep you and Ryan in our prayers.

I remember those feelings not so long ago! Each month was a waiting game and that was ALL I had on my mind after unsuccessful months and a few pregnanies not carried full-term, resting my mind and body DID help!And now I couldn't be any happier with the 2 I was blessed with!! God has a plan for you too, but I dont have to tell you that - your faithfulness shows! JUST BREATHE, PRAY, and be HAPPY your blessings will come to you!
Love Lori
