Trust in Our Savior: March 2013

Saturday, March 2, 2013

I've been thinking a lot lately about how many people I know that have struggled with pregnancy.

It's A LOT!

It's something that I'm hyper aware of. What is interesting to me is that I know a large group of good couples that don't struggle to get pregnant with their first child, but have a hard time with their second or third. I have reflected on why so many good people have to wait to welcome children into their families when they have so much to offer as parents.

Many times I have felt like Hannah in the Old Testament. Wanting a child so badly and being willing to offer the Lord anything in return. And then I wonder. Is that why so many good people struggle to have children? Does the Lord want them to not just be good parents, but to commit to be the best parents? We ARE in the last days and the Lord DOES need strong saints to lead his work. Just about everyone I know that has a struggle to welcome children into their home (whether its getting pregnant or adopting. whether they wait 3 months or 18 years) has eventually been blessed with a child. And then I remember Abraham and Sara.

The Lord is aware of us. He needs us to draw close to him and discover what he wants us to learn, and then TRUST him.
