Jerusalem Light

Was lead to a great song today...

Do you like it? What is it about to you?

Jonathan Singleton's Jerusalem Light

But be glad and rejoice forever
in what I will create,
for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight
and its people a joy.
I will rejoice over Jerusalem
and take delight in my people;
the sound of weeping and of crying
will be heard in it no more.
Isaiah 65:18-19

When Empty Arms Become a Heavy Burden

I have just finished reading this book...literally...minutes ago...


It was just what I needed. One of the writers a former OBGYN, infertility patient, and now a pastor walks you through the chapters with biblical references to people facing infertility and also brings it to a human level. He references God caring for you in the way you would would care for a new kitten...you take them to the vet for shots to keep them healthy...the kitten doesn't understand your purpose. And it left me being able to relate in secondary infertility to an amputee with one leg. Do people often say to him "well at least you have one leg". Discounting my gratefulness for my miracle son. Or secondary infertility is like being at a feast where you are served one delicious roll and then told if you would like the rest of your meal it will cost you an average of $2,000-$50,000, oh and you may not even get your food. Though for most everyone else it is free and all you can eat, all day, everyday, not to mention fresh and cooked to taste.

I highly recommend this book for anyone walking down the path of infertility. It is available at www.amazon.com

Ps...Hubbie said this post sounded angry. I am not angry. Frustrated at times...YES. The point was I found comfort in this book...and I hope your friends will too.

Infertile in Louisiana

Do you have a friend who has infertility issues and lives in LOUISIANA (or insurance in Louisiana)? I would love to talk to them. I have insurance questions that relate to the Louisiana Infertility Insurance Mandate. So please send them my way! ! !

National Infertility Week!!!

About 1 in 8 are affected by infertility.
Homes across America have closets filled with baby clothes...
They are praying, hoping, wishing, taking meds,
Going in for bloodwork, ultrasounds, procedures,
Let's help them get those clothes off the hangers and on a new baby...


Hi friends...it is National Infertility Week...

A bill was introduced by this Senator, a woman of course,

http://gillibrand.senate.gov/newsroom/press/release/?id=d907c56b-d794-4586-bdfd-a48a963d70ed

It will allow Infertility to be covered by insurance as a disease.

Please take time to send a letter...it only takes a second...

Please take the time if INFERTILITY has affected you or someone you LOVE.

It was ALL worth it...and so we try again...Pray for me as we truly try and have another Miracle Baby.
