Tomorrow is the day...

we begin our MAPP training for foster care/adoption. I am very nervous about starting the classes. I wish I knew more about what is going to go on at the classes and what the process is. Anyone who knows me knows I like to plan ahead!!! It is good to take a step forward but it is difficult as well.

Empty Womb, Aching Heart by Marlo Schaleskz

I am reading the book Empty Womb, Aching Heart by Marlo Schaleskv. It is a book that has a variety of stories on a variety of topics all dealing with infertility. I highlighted the following section from p. 30...

"As I live through the storm of infertility, the way is dark. But somewhere out there, the rains will cease and the sun will break through. Someday all this will be behind me. And God has promised that he will never leave or forsake me.

Yet in the months to come I know the tears will flow again. I can't suppress them; I can't ignore them. But I can raise my head, look for the rainbow, and remember that every month is another step closer to the light. One more step in a larger journey.

"Blessed be the name of God forever and ever...He changes the times and the seasons...He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him. (Daniel 2:20-22 NKJV)."

When I read that section I immediately think of the many comments that hurt so bad. Comments like, get over it, you need to deal with it, etc. If only those people could read this AND understand it!
