Hurt and New Friendships

Never before did I imagine the impact infertility could have on a couple. Never did I dream that I could hurt so bad for something I didn’t have. All along the way, many times I was told by many people God has a plan for you and Sean. As many times as I heard it, sometimes it was often hard to accept. As the days, then months and eventually years past I wondered when was this plan going to come into effect.

I can see now as I come closer to God and open my heart the plan is starting to form. The times I strayed away seemed to be the times I hurt the most. God has placed some very important people in our lives right now that are helping us in our walk. Without the positive influence of Heather every time I talk to her I don’t know how I would go some days. She has became one of my close and dearest friends and I thank God every day for giving me a friend like that. I look back and see how Sean had been put on the pastor search committee to find the perfect pastor for us. Was it all in the plan? Did they find just want we needed? A pastor for a hurting church and a new set of friends for a hurting couple? I seem to think it happened for a reason…and I am VERY thankful for it.

Sean and I did receive some great news today. Home study is 08/12/09. We no longer have to attend the training at the Lake of the Ozarks, they enrolled us in the ones in Jefferson City and our background and fingerprints will be all done in the next week.
I am very very excited. Keep us in your prayers.

Our love,
Sean and Jessica
