I hate negative pregnancy tests, when you want them to be positive. Most ladies out there have had at least one. Several of us have had way more than we can almost count and more than we could have ever imagined. Clearly, I am not talking about a negative test for me at this time. However, I told my dr on Tuesday that I am SO thrilled about getting my tubes tied during my C-Section because I should never have another negative pregnancy test when I want it to be positive.
I have 6 friends right now that are praying for positives and only getting negatives. One is deep in infertility, 2 are doing little infertility things, 1 is still having to wait for 2 more negatives before she gets sent to a specialist, and 2 are tired of trying to time everything themselves. It is a weary process. (By the way 3 of the 6 aren't bloggers so you don't know them)
I had a friend give me a card the week of our second miscarriage and I want to repost the words. They have really spoken to me over the past year. In fact, I posted them on 8/29/08 - almost exactly a year ago. These are words of encouragement for anyone who is waiting....waiting for what they want....waiting for hope to fill their heart.....waiting for relief...waiting to see the plan for their family. This week, I encourage you all to pray for those who are getting negatives when they are longing for positives. Even if you don't know anyone personally, pray for those out there. And to those of you who are, please read these words and know that you are loved (even if you are not known) are you are being prayed for.
Don’t wish upon a shining star
Or put your trust in another,
But daily place the cares of your heart
In the hands of your Heavenly Father.
For He has heard your prayers
And He knows your heart,
And His answer’s a whisper away.
So don’t give up, don’t doubt His love,
But hold on in faith one more day.
And while you wait, keep your eyes on Jesus
Let your hope be in Him alone.
Let His Word give light to encourage your soul
And His Spirit give your heart a home.

You are a sweet SWEET friend. :)
You're precious!
your words touch more people than you know.
Though I have not personally struggled with this, I have struggled along side precious family and friends as they saw the many negative pregnancy tests. These are precious words. Thank you for sharing.
I stumbled across your blog by my cousin-in-law Marcy. Love her. Don't know how you know her but...anyways...
Thank you SO much for this post! Sometimes I feel so alone in this journey but I am far from it. God is there and lots of other women going through the same thing.
Thanks again for your kind words and encouraging prayer for all of us.
Hi, I came upon your blog through Amy Bowman's profile. I had 2 miscarriages and the words of encouragement at the end of this post really meant a lot to me. Even though I am a complete stranger! THANK YOU! It is good to know I am really not alone.
If you want to be so sure with the result, you can try using elisa kit because this can detect the substances in your body as well as telling if your pregnant or not.
This is such a comfort!God bless!
