The most prominent thing that came out of our brainstorming meeting was that all of our stories were SO different and none of the outcomes were the same. God had given us each a very unique infertility story. Some had a few children and were experiencing secondary infertility, some had no children at all, some had lost several babies, some had adopted children, others were undergoing infertility treatments, and others were waiting. But the bottom line was the same... we all had that unique aching and longing to be a mother. A pain that can never be understood unless you have felt it. There is a common thread that wove all our hearts and stories together.
I am really excited about this name and where the ministry is headed. The main focus will be mentorship and connection. Just knowing who the other women are facing the same battles is deeply encouraging in itself. It makes the journey not so lonely. More to come, I hope!
I called the fertility clinic today and let them know our intentions. They are reevaluating our files since we haven't been in their office since April. I told them, I was pretty sure half my uterus was still missing and that not much had changed. haha. They will be calling soon to give us a game plan. I am starting to let myself get a little excited and I am weary about that. I am starting to think biological children may actually be a reality for us, but I know I am treading on dangerous waters the second I begin to think something will go according to plan. :/ I know the Lord likes
to remind me that He is in charge and I am not, so I better get these emotions in check real fast.
More to come on Common Thread. Tah Tah for now.
