Hope is not free. It is not listed in Galatians as something acquired by the Holy Spirit like love, joy, peace, patience, etc. Hope isn’t in there. What scripture says about hope (Romans 5), it must be fought for and built in you. It isn’t a freebie when you sign up for life.
I’m working on my hope muscle. Not occasional hope, sporadic hope, or thermostat hope, but abounding and unshakeable hope.
And this past weekend, sitting on the shore of Kachemak Bay was precisely what my soul needed to work on this muscle. It was a time to rest, laugh, and reconnect with Andrew as we take this next step in our fertility journey. We are preparing for our first round of IVF at the end of October in Colorado. Even with months of saving and planning, there will be many unknowns and last-minute decisions.
As we prepare for October, my hope is in the One who knows the ending. No matter what happens, I know the ending will be good. Because (in the words of Max Lucado) God is not only a promise maker, He is a promise keeper.
Will you join us in praying:
▫️All the little (but stressful) decisions fall into place.
▫️For Andrew and I to walk into October spiritually, physically, and mentally strong.
▫️Healthy and viable embryos
▫️Our team of nurses/doctors at CNY Fertility
▫️That ultimately, He makes a way where there has not been.
