The Struggle with Infertility

For those who don’t know my wife and I well, our story involves a struggle with infertility. For nearly two years Krista and I struggled with infertility. The doctors had told us to essentially prepare ourselves for the reality that we could not have kids. It was a very heart-breaking struggle, especially as we watched friend after friend enjoy the wonders of their pregnancies and births. But in the midst of all of it God was shaping us to better understand His love for us. Now I look back on those years with perspective, and with the added mercy of God giving us two beautiful children. We know that many people have suffered much longer and continue to suffer with infertility. We know that our circumstances were real to us, and yet in comparison far less painful than that of other folks. Nonetheless I think about our pain and our struggle and so wherever I can offer encouragement to those in the midst of it now I like to do just that. Here is a post over at the Gospel Colaition that may encourage some. May God bless you, friends, as you continue to struggle.
