Although it is a life long dream & goal, I have learned I am unable to have a child, I am 28, I have known for a couple years now. Through the strength of God I am dealing with this fairly eaisly day to day. However, when friends & family (& even strangers) come into my life sharing "the news" it does sadden me quite a lot that I will never have that opportunity. I feel blessed to have little ones in my life that I can be a positive influence for, although it's not the same as being a mother. I pray God brings me understanding as to WHY I will never be able to share this blessing personally & I pray He continues to give me strength when I need it most. I thank Him for always being there for me & even though I don't know why I can't have children, I know it is His will & even though it's what I want most in my life, my life is not my own so I still thank Him for even that. Im sure His reason is far more important than my want will ever be. So, thank you Lord...for the good & the bad, for giving me strength & hopefully understanding. I also pray for anyone reading this, that Your Will will be worked in their lives and that all of their NEEDS are met. Amen
