Alone on Mother's Day

I would like to wish a happy Mother's Day to two special women, our moms! Mike and I have two unique, strong, and beautiful mothers that we love dearly. Thank you, Moms, for playing a star role in our lives, for shaping who we are. We are so blessed to have been raised the way we were, surrounded by love.

We are not able to spend today with family. We were suppose to, but the Army interfered, yet again. Mike is doing some important classified training and was assigned to the night shift. So we rescheduled our plans. Our Mother's Day will be in a few weeks. In fact, he is sleeping right now, and I'm left alone. I'm trying to be quite. I have been forbidden to vacuum.

Alone

That basically sums up the way I feel. Its been a little hard lately. I am constantly surrounded by reminders that I'm still not pregnant. Although I have a really positive outlook and complete faith in God and what he has to say in the matter, it is still difficult. No matter how hard I pray or what passages I read, there will still be low moments. Any woman who has wanted a child desperately, knows this feeling. In these moments I cling to the Father, to his promises, and to his love.

"He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the Lord." - Psalms 113:9

I'd like to leave you with this. It is a link to an old friend's blog. This morning I read what his wife had written and was truly touched. She speaks of a Mama's heart. A heart that I have. A heart that already loves my children.
