Mother's Day

It's by far been one of the most difficult things to encounter. Unless you have experienced the unfulfilled desire to have children you wouldn't understand, so do not even attempt to tell the 2.1 million women out there facing infertility that you do. To have a doctor look at you and say in so many words, " YOU DON'T STAND A CHANCE" is heart breaking. It leaves you with this emptiness that cannot be explained. It makes Mother's Day one of the hardest days to get out of bed, not shed tears & hold on to hope.


BUT,.... ( oh, thank you JESUS for the BUT),


. 


























Jesus'  word is true! His promises are relevant for our lives. I have my Ephesians 3:20 (Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!). My life has been blessed & it will never be the same. I remember the exact moment that picture above was taken. I had him in my arms for the first time. HE WAS MY BABY! The one I prayed for & dreamed of for many, many years. I am not so far removed from the pain and heartache of want, that I do not have compassion for ladies out there who are still in their season of WANT. But I hope to encourage you, that it is just that. A SEASON. And just as we see them change before our eyes on earth, they change in our lives as well. Oh, how grateful I am for a new season.


I am so blessed to be Channing's mommy. And I have hope that there will be more Berry babies. I'm excited to be celebrating this first Mother's day with my sweet son & my amazing husband. Don't think for a minute there won't still be tears. But tears of joy! What a testimony the Lord has given us & don't you think for one minute that I don't  share it with  whoever the Lord puts before me! I want to encourage those that the Lord places in my path that may be hurting, that the Lord is good! In his perfect timing, he brings everything together!


Happy Mother's Day to you & if you are still waiting to celebrate, then celebrate your "someday Mother's Day" as my sweet hubby used to call it. Someday, some way, the Lord will make good his promise!
