Hi my 2 little embryo babies! Grow big & strong, ok?
.
I can’t stop looking at this ultrasound picture. We didn’t get one last transfer and I’m SO happy we asked for one this time. After all the things we’ve been through, it’s really nice to feel like we have a little glimpse of our babies to hold in our hands (even if all they are right now is somewhere within a teeny spot of fluid! )
All I can think about is how incredible God has been to us, completely paving the way for us to get here step by step. I’m in a weird halfway state between the facts and success rates of IVF and infertility and the truth of God’s promises. To say the doubts aren’t talking would be a total lie, but do I believe them? Nope. Thank you, Jesus for your grace that got me here when I did nothing to deserve it, and for your peace that makes me feel complete when it doesn’t make sense .

“Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.””✨
Matthew 11:28-30 NLT

⠀
There is always fear when we put trust in ourselves. We are so limited in our ability to truly control any outcome, and trusting ourselves only leads to worry.⠀
⠀
But there is no fear in trusting the Father. He has promised to lead those who love Him, to plant them, and allow their roots to grow deep. He has promised that those who trust in Him will bear fruit. ⠀
⠀
There is no fear in trusting Him, only security and strength. When we live our lives in trust and surrender to Him, we have no reason to worry about what the future holds. Like a tree planted by streams of water, we need not fear when the drought comes. Trust keeps us at the source of life, and allows us, through humility, to know more of Him.⠀
⠀
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, ⠀
whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, ⠀
for it does not cease to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17-7:8⠀
⠀
Encouragement today from my husband @williekaz
When faced with fear many times God is showing us another limit to overcome!⠀
⠀
Have you ever felt timid when starting a new job, starting a new school or walking into a new experience? Sometimes we have to step outside of our comfort zone to accomplish and fulfill God’s calling for our lives. ⠀
⠀
But the beautiful gift of God’s Word and spirit is that he equips us with strength. When we spend more time in His Word, we dwell on His promises even more and it can help us overcome any challenge.⠀
⠀
You can always ask God to embolden your heart- and ask Him to give you the right words when new opportunities arise. He has given you a spirit of power, love and self-discipline to carry through this world wherever you go today and always. When you are walking with God, you are never walking alone.
Anxiety bows at the feet of Jesus. Insecurity bows at the feet of Jesus. Uncertainty and doubt bows at the feet of Jesus. Depression bows at the feet of Jesus. Friend, peace is your WEAPON. It is your RIGHT. It DESTROYS the Enemy and his strongholds on your life!! Claim peace! Declare peace! Use peace as your weapon!
His timing is perfect❤️ Just breathe✨✨ •

I received a beautiful set of books of the Gospels from @alabaster_co so I am re-reading the gospels right now❤️ I love the book of Matthew, so many reminders to give it all to God. His ultimate plan will carry us through. Have faith, O you of little faith✨✨✨

Have you ever had a moment where you just outright chose sin instead of following the spirit? Have you known without a doubt that the path you're on is leading you further away from Christ, but you just try to ignore it and keep going anyway? Or has there been a situation where choosing to follow Jesus been too confronting or scary for you, so you look the other way?
I know I've been there, and they'll probably be more moments like these in my future because of one thing... sin. Sometimes as Christians, we can forget just how far our sin runs inside us and how it has manipulated and destroyed the world we live in.
But if we make the conscious and deliberate decision to ignore God, does that mean He will turn His back on us? HECK NO! We are God's creation, He knows us inside out. Therefore, He knows our SIN inside out. He knows we are selfish, He knows the desires of our flesh, He knows we WILL (not maybe)fall into temptation. He knows that time after time, we will choose to follow the wrong things and turn away from Him. He knows we suck, He knows we aren't perfect and that we never will be.
So, He decided to SAVE us. He sent Jesus to live and to die so that we can have a relationship with Him. He sent Jesus so that we can live a life where we are freed from our sin and our shame. He sent Jesus so we could KNOW and SEE unconditional love and experience REAL grace.
When we sin, we don't have to dwell in the fear and shame. At the cross, those sins were forgiven. At the cross, God's grace has covered you. At the cross, God's love won.
If you've messed up, if you've been ignoring God or if you've been consumed by your own desires. Take a moment and repent. Give it over to God and openly receive the grace God has fought to give you. Today choose grace. Choose to walk in freedom. Choose victory✨
