Sweet Amy,
What an inspiring post. I well know the indescribable joy of discovering you're pregnant when it seemed impossible and then the utter heartache of losing that longed-for baby. Thank you so much for the reminder to remain faithful and to remain thankful. The Holy Spirit touched my heart with conviction through your post

I've been thinking a lot about you and praying for you every time you pop into my mind and my heart. I'm happy to see a post from you.

I'm so sorry about this roller coaster journey you're going through. I pray that God will give you peace, lots of faith, and comfort.

Thank you for your constant honesty and openness. Lots of love do you and DW.

I am so sorry for this long and painful journey......

I didn't see this post last night when I emailed you! I have really been worried about you lately!

I am so inspired and encouraged by your testimony! It's amazing to see your faith in God! You are so right, God can do anything, regardless of the doctors thoughts... Don't give up hope!

Praying for you Amy!

The Lord has laid you on my heart so heavily lately Amy...now I know why.

I am choosing to focus on the Hope too. HE IS ABLE. I am praying He moves again soon...Lord, let it be.

Thank you for sharing with us.

This morning I read your post at school and my heart hurt so bad for you. I read it again now (so I could comment! only drawback of google reader!) and I am just sitting here crying. I am thankful that the cycle happened, so that it can give you hope, but why did it result that way? I am sending up prayers for you, that soon you will have your beautiful, miracle baby, that God will use your wonderful faith to show others reading this that even with a 0% chance- He gave you a baby. I love ya, sweet friend, and I am praying for you!

I just recently started reading your blog and am encouraged by you and your faith! I feel so alone sometimes in the process, but realize that I am far from it. Praying for you and your husband.

2009-11-24T15:16:14.427-05:00

We've missed you!!

I'm sorry to hear about the issues over the last month or so, but continue to be so encouraged by your attitude and dependence on God. You're on my prayer list.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

2009-11-24T15:12:14.908-05:00

Like so many others, I have missed reading your updates...and have been praying for you in your absence! You are on my heart more than you know:-) If DW's family is as sweet as yours, I'm sure Thanksgiving will go beautifully! Have a great holiday!

I'm glad you came back to blogging. I've missed reading about your journey.

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'm sure the blending of families will go over well. Don't let it go another 4 years until it happens again though!

2009-11-24T14:10:34.228-05:00

I was hoping your absence of blogging meant something was going on in terms of baby-creating...I am so happy that your body is trying and that you were with it enough to realize that something was going on (I mean, what a blessing that your body signaled to you that ovulation was about to occur! crazy!). Since IVF isnt' in your plans, are ya'll considering adoption? Or is that too personal...?

I hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

2009-11-24T13:47:19.223-05:00

I've been thinking about you! I so admire your hope and faith in a time like this. I truly hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families and that you and DW are able to celebrate this blending!

You know, this morning on the radio they were talking about Eugene Peterson's translation of Matthew 5:1-8 and his translation of verse 4 went something like this:

"You're blessed when you feel you've lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you."

It really made me think about what it means to really give your life to God and trust that He knows what is best for you. I'm praying for you!

You are such a precious person and you have such a sweet soul! You are in my thoughts and prayers!

2009-11-24T12:50:46.536-05:00

I have been missing reading your posts. I am sorry that it didn't all work out but so encouraged by your faith. Isn't it somehow totally reassuring that at least you got pregnant once? I find such comfort in it even though the timing wasn't right for us. I will be praying for you and DW.

2009-11-24T11:21:02.610-05:00

Awe, I have so missed your blogging...but I understand there are times that blogging means nothing (in terms of importance) compared to something one is going through! Please know I've been thinking and praying for you. Your words are so encouraging and as I read your post, I could not help but feel God's presence and know that He is already at work in 'enabling' your womb {I have chills typing it!}. Much love, hun! Always praying for you! HUGS, friend!

Amy, I think about you often. My heart broke for you when I read this, and yet I was so inspired by your hope and your endless faith in God. I will keep you in my prayers.

I keep you in my prayers.

2009-11-24T11:01:21.504-05:00

I keep you in my prayers.

2009-11-24T10:36:47.633-05:00

Hey girl! Since you hadn't blogged in a while, I knew something was up. So I have prayed for you...over and over. I'm on the journey of discovering that our God is a big God and he sees the big picture when we only see a snapshot. It should be easy to trust the God that created the universe, walked on water, and healed the sick...but sometimes it isn't that easy. But he has a plan! A good friend just reminded of the verse Micah 3:10. God will open the floodgates in due time!!

2009-11-24T10:35:55.358-05:00

I've felt your absence on here. I've missed you and your thoughts.

A friend of mine wrote a post a while back about a lone tree. The kind of tree standing in the middle of nowhere with no leaves - just branches. And this was said:

"The tree is perfect and is a picture of hope: life in the middle of barrenness, resilience in the middle of ugliness, branches spread open to the promise of coming rain. Hope is a terrible, lovely thing."

To be a woman alive to her longings and still choose to really live and continue to hope in the midst of disappointment is a thing of beauty.

Your beauty is all over the place in this post. Thank you for sharing your heart.

I hope you have a wonderful, happy and full Thanksgiving with your families together this year for the first time.

Remaining hopeful with you. I pray for you EVERY DAY.
