Answered prayer?
My heart aches. As much as I trust the Lord, it saddens me that His plan doesn't include children right now. I cannot lie...it is hard to have so many people around me pregnant. I would do anything to not let it bother me. It has become serious baggage for me. I am losing friends because of it.
I prayed and asked God yesterday how to overcome these feelings to jealousy, doubt, and selfishness-I think he gave me an answer today.
I found out today that another close friend is pregnant with twins. As I (quickly) scanned the email on my Blackberry this morning at work, I about got sick. Little did I know (because I stopped reading the email at "twins!") there are serious complications associated with the pregnancy. My jealousy turned to humility. It is not ironic that someone close to me told me this today. The day after I spent hours worrying, crying, and praying about how to overcome my sadness and stop letting it control my life.
Please pray for this friend and for her twins.
