Chasing a Dream

When I was 15 years old, the Devil told me a lie. He told me a lie about my children and my future as a mother. I have spent the last 16 years rebuking that lie. I have spent the last 16 years trying to convince myself it wasn’t true.

I always wanted to have children, but when I got married, I wasn’t in a huge hurry to have any. My husband and I began trying to have children three years into our marriage. After one and a half years, we sought the help of a fertility specialist. It took him one year to determine how to get us a baby.

In October 2008 we made our first attempt to get pregnant. It was expensive financially and emotionally. I didn’t get pregnant. We were devastated. It never occurred to us that we wouldn’t get pregnant.
