Christian infertility

Reproduction is a bodily function. We take it for granted that our bodies will work correctly. That eggs are released and tubes are open. That sperm come in enough number that at some point in the tube the sperm and egg meet. Then the embryo moves from the tube to the uterus where it implants…

My heart broke again, right there beside the mailbox. It squeezed tight within me battling the emotions, longing, grief that I hoped I was freed from. I held the Target coupons in my hand and it felt like a cruel joke. Coupons for everything you need for your baby. My baby is three. My oldest…

I have had this subtle, but real discussion with God lately. He is asking, “Do you trust Me?” My knee jerk response is much like Peter’s response to Jesus after Jesus rose from the dead. He asks Peter, “Do you love Me?” Peter says, “yes.” Jesus asks him three times. Peter responds three times. By…
