If it weren't for Hannah's struggle w/infertility, we would never have heard of her. And the next words our pastor said were what really hit me: "is that okay with you?" and as I said in my other comment, right now, if it involves something happening to one of my children, the answer is no. And I'm not sure that's okay with God. So I guess God is really working in my heart in this area, turning things totally over to Him, and I felt compelled to come back & share this all with you. :) Hope you don't mind! :) We had a great message this morning about Hannah (one of my favorite Bible stories), and I thought of you, and I thought of my previous comment on this post…and the summation of the message was this: “Sometimes when it appears that God has abandoned us, He is actually writing us a bigger part in His story”.

When I was in college I started to notice that I was having trouble concentrating. I just chalked it up to burn out even though I had been on the Dean's list the last three semesters. I was also tired all day, every day, but when I would try to sleep at night I would toss and turn and never feel rested. I went to the doctor and they diagnosed me with hypothyroidism. I was amazed after taking the pills for a few days how much better I felt. I'm glad you are starting to feel better. I know what a struggle it is to be tired all of the time. I also know how difficult it is to find God in the face of losing a child. I lost a child in 2000 and I haven't been able to conceive since that child. There have been many days when I asked God, "Why? If you love me, why would you do this to me?" There are no easy answers. God does things for reasons we may never comprehend. But rest assured that the outcome will be for His glory. It may not seem that way when we are drowning in grief, but in time we may see the greater design. May I recommend a book called, "Experiencing God" by Henry Blackaby? It definitely helped me deepen my relationship with the Lord. I would also suggest that you concentrate on having a relationship with the Lord and not so much on "religion." I've always been a Christian and attended church as a child. I always considered myself "religious" but it wasn't until doing a Bible study on "Experiencing God" that I truly discovered how rewarding a relationship with the Lord can be. I don't focus on any particular set of religious beliefs, I just read the Bible and concentrate on my relationship with Jesus. I will keep you in my prayers and God Bless!

But the times I imagine losing my child, (and I do, I don't know why) the pain takes my breath. My heart is aching for your loss. I went through a time of really hating God because he made no sense and wouldn't do what I asked him to. (Funny. I said that to MY parents!) I finally was able to come to a point where I trusted Him. Completely. There's rest in that. Love and prayers... hippychick I have no idea what it is like to lose a child.

I will have to try one of those. I am seriously addicted to McD's iced coffee with a shot of vanilla. Extra large for $2.09. A very justified daily expenditure, especially in my chaotic life of late. How I would love to go to Blogher - I think that despite the chaos, you are going to have a fabulous time and will come home a little overwhelmed but totally infused with positive energy. I mean, how can you not with being around so many fabulous bloggers? As for your faith, I do understand where you are coming from and I think that it is very normal and natural. Continue to do things at your own pace as that is what is best for you. Mmmmm …. iced mocha. I will have to try one of those. I am seriously addicted to McD’s iced coffee with a shot of vanilla.
