Finding joy in a waiting season 🩷

My word of the year is “joy”. The Lord has been working on my heart for many years and after many years of infertility, He wants me to find joy again.

It’s so easy to become what season you’re in. If you’re in a season of heartache, and worry, and fear, you easily become all of those things, and that’s what I have become.

I fear I will never be a mom. I worry that if I am able to get pregnant, I won’t be able to stay pregnant. Every single day I am living in heartache of what life could’ve been and should’ve been.

There is power in your thoughts and your words and Jesus wants you to cast your worry and fear to Him. You weren’t meant to carry those thoughts alone.

This is the year to be intentional with your thoughts, your words, and your actions. Find your joy again 🩷

What’s your word of the year?

... Read moreNavigating through the challenges of waiting seasons, particularly in journeys like infertility, requires resilience and faith. It's common to experience feelings of heartache, fear, and worry that can overshadow moments of joy. However, embracing a positive mindset can be transformative. Consider reflecting on ways to shift your focus from worries to hope. Engage in activities that bring you joy, whether it's reconnecting with friends, pursuing hobbies, or setting small personal goals. Furthermore, the influence of faith can play a pivotal role in finding peace amid uncertainty. Build a support system where you can share your feelings and experiences with others who understand. Journaling your thoughts may also help in articulating your emotions, thus clearing mental clutter and illuminating paths toward joy. Remember, you are not alone in this journey, and actively seeking joy can lead to profound personal growth.
