We prayed for 1,564 days. He answered.
We prayed. We prayed with tears and broken hearts, in anguish and confusion, with courage, hope, and faith. And so did many of you. You prayed, supported us, and hoped for us even when we could not.
Over four years of infertility and gut-wrenching disappointment. Over four years of negatives, multiple specialists, ultrasounds, countless medication, injections, invasive tests, procedures, failed treatment cycles, surgery, a miscarriage, and waiting, waiting, and more waiting. It has been a long, difficult wait. But it was all worth it for you, our sweet, beautiful miracle.
“Through this trial and trouble, God was at work. He blessed us with a clearer picture of who He is, what the Christian life is really about, and what to put our hope in. This is our lasting hope. Peter says, “In His great mercy He has given us a new birth into a living hope and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil, or fade” (1 Pet. 1:3).” – Kimberly Monroe
With unspeakable joy we are sharing our big secret: a new member of our family will be joining us in May 2018!
”Blessed be the Lord!
For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.
The Lord is my strength and my shield;
in him my heart trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to him.” Psalm 28: 6-7
