Hello y'all, my name is Sarah. My life is good, but my God is greater. He has given me a wonderful husband, John Mark, who I couldn't be more thankful for. I have an incredible family with a great set of friends that I couldn't imagine my life without. I am a mother of two crazy dogs, Jolene and Cash.
I love daisies and wildflowers, watching old movies, being outside, reading for fun, cooking for fun, taking walks with JM and the pups, and anything Texas. Originally, I created this blog when John Mark was in medical school 4 or so years ago to keep track of what we were doing in Galveston at that time. These updates maybe lasted 5 posts and then I forgot that I had this blog.
But God had a different plan with it. He put it on my heart to use this blog page to tell our story of infertility and whatever may come after that. (FYI: I deleted the older posts because they were lame.) After two and a half years of trying to start our family, we have come to our last resort of having our own biological children through IVF. If this route is unsuccessful, then we will pursue adoption. I hope this blog brings hope to others who may be going through infertility and feeling alone, feeling like a failure, feeling hopeless, and feeling discouraged. I still struggle those feelings and I am learning on a daily basis to trust God in this journey no matter what the outcome may be. I am learning to "wait well" and put my hope and trust in Him during this season.
"So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must 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."
-1 Peter 1:6-7
"Waiting with hope is very difficult, but true patience is expressed when we must even wait for hope. I have reached the point of greatest strength once I have learned to wait for hope."
-George Matheson
