Hanging by a very thin thread.....

I've heard many times over the years that the Lord will not give us more than we can handle. So I ask......Why does He seem to think I'm this strong? How much longer is my heart going to hurt? Just when I thinking I'm feeling better.....something happens to throw everything off kilter again and the discouragement and constant ache seem to get stronger.

What do you do when your sweet husband gets so discouraged with the seemingly endless 'wait' and tells you that he's about to give up hope? How does your heart not break when he looks at you with tears in his eyes and asks you.......'Are we EVER going to have children?"

I'm pretty sure my heart broke a little more last night........

Please keep us in your prayers. We could certainly use them right now.

I hope this doesn't sound trite, because I certainly don't mean it that way. I think that sometimes, just like when the scriptures tell us there needs to be opposition in all things, that we have to experience deep sorrow in order to experience profound joy. Just think about the joy that must be headed your way to compensate for all that you're going through! You are in my thoughts and prayers.
