Choose Light

Even in the darkest of places, the tiniest bit of light chases the darkness away. Darkness cannot rule where light is allowed to shine.

In those areas of your life where darkness seems to rule, insert the Light of God’s Word.

Speak His promises out loud to your circumstances. Enjoy life in His Light!

“…for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.” 1 Peter 2:9 [NLT]

Focus Friday

Focus on the following scripture throughout the day. It’s God’s Word and it’s what He desires us to believe. Believe it is true for you because God’s Word is Truth. Speak this Word to yourself throughout the day. Personalize it by putting your name in it!

 “You, LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.” ~ Psalm 18:28 [NIV]

Trying to Hold it Together

Many times during the struggle with infertility, you feel like you about to fall apart. There is usually  no one else who truly understands what you’re going through, so talking to others about it can be difficult, unproductive, and very frustrating. That frustration can make you choose to just suffer silently. THAT is not a good choice! When you’re trying to hold all that emotion inside of you, it’s only a matter of time before you start to feel like you’ll explode. That explosion can be expressed in anger, self-pity, sadness, bitterness, self-condemnation, and many other destructive ways.

But there is One who can help. Jesus is the One who is capable of understanding this situation and helping you to get through it without falling apart. Colossians 1:17 [NIV] says, “He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. ” His love and grace are available everyday to comfort and guide you through the struggle so the negative emotions don’t overtake you and make you feel like everything is falling apart.

Look to Him today and on a daily basis. Trust His hands to hold you and to keep things in your life held together.
