Matthew 7:12 In everything, deal with others as you would like the to deal with you.
The Golden Rule. It seems appropriate for God to show me this verse as I have been invited to a baby shower. Although, in order to preserve my own heart, I try to avoid them. Reasons as to why I cannot go swim through my mind. My husband recently mentioned to me that I am becoming a recluse. Perhaps, I am. And I am finding out that I don't mind.
Lord, I want to deal with others as I would want them to deal with me. But how do I stop a hurting heart, without hearting others?
It seems that God has more work to do within me.
About Me
- ~A Girl Learning to Accept~
- Who am I? I am the girl who quietly kneels in the pew behind the family with the children. The girl who earns and wishes for a child of her own. A girl whose prayers beg for an answer. The girl who hears God gently say no. The girl who knows the power and love of God.

I know the feeling...I avoid baby showers and I've lost friends due to the fact they have children and I don't. It's not all on my part...they avoid me too. Crazy huh? Carrying the cross of IF is not easy and it's full of challanges. I believe through this I've found out who my real friends are and who are not. Maybe that is a good thing? I've gone to baby showers even though I knew it would hurt and you know what? I didn't feel any better by going...so now I just say I can't make it and I send a gift. Thankfully, most of my friends and family have had their children. I think it's okay to protect our hearts...if we don't than who will? It's part of IF. God bless.
I have not been diagnosed infertile and right now I'm crying because I got my period once again. This is so hard for me we have been trying for so long. I was not your typical little girl growing up in the 80's. Whenever asked what do you want to be when you grow up I'd answer "a wife and mother". When I met my husband I knew I was on my way…i guess not. I will now turn to my bible and hope to brave my pending diagnosis of infertility.
