Infertiltiy and Mothers Day

I haven't forgotten how it was. My oldest Arrow is going to turn 21 years old and I have been married for over 27 years. But I have not forgotten the difficult times, the awkward years, the months of disappointment.

I was diagnosed with primary infertility with no known cause. How difficult it was to see one of my best friends being pregnant. In her graciousness she asked me to attend the birth of her baby but I found at that time, it seemed like even looking at her caused me to struggle with emotions I never knew existed within me. To say that I didn't like her for being pregnant when I couldn't is putting it mildly.

These years of being barren, empty and feeling of incomplete helps me to understand and empathize those who go through this. I KNOW how they feel.

Of course, the Lord knows best.

But perhaps that is why He let people like me go through that too. So we can be a little extension of Him here. Especially on a day like this one coming up.

Please Pray for Joe

We flew 14 hours to another land recently. We meaning my husband and I.

There, on one of our visits to see places and people, we met this man. His name is Joe.

Our friends and we prayed for his bad back. He got upset even though he was glad that we prayed for him. He was upset becaues he lost a child to leukemia and blamed God.
Please pray for Joe. He is a South African on holiday in a sunny land far from home where he was reminded that God will never let him go by some Malaysians on holiday.

Talk about divine appointments.

Please pray for Joe. Here, our friend is giving him a pen which has the contact of the church she worships with.

For more about our trip, visit Metamor4sis, The Hinge and Big Mmmmomma.

Thirty Pieces of Silver

Thirty (30) pieces of silver. Judas betrayed Jesus for that much.

I wonder what the three (3) politicians got for their betrayal.

For more about the shenanigans and a brief history of what I am referring to, make a visit to Metamor4sis.

I am lost for words and would rather pray.
