One more sleep. 🕊️ Beta test is tomorrow morning. This verse is my anchor today: 'I will put my hope in God, I will praise Him again.' Whether the news is the miracle we hope for or a closed door, I will still praise Him. Resting in the quiet today. 🙏 #BetaEve #SurrogacyJourney #FaithOver

2/4 Edited to

... Read moreWaiting for important medical news can be one of the most emotionally intense experiences, especially during a surrogacy journey. I remember the nights leading up to my own beta test results—filled with anticipation, hope, and a mix of fear and excitement. What helped me through those moments was leaning deeply into my faith, much like the author’s anchor verse stating, ‘I will put my hope in God, I will praise Him again.’ Psalm 42:11, which was referenced in the accompanying text, beautifully captures the essence of finding peace in God even when circumstances feel overwhelming. The encouragement to praise and hope regardless of the test outcome resonated with me; it’s a reminder that faith provides a steady foundation beyond the uncertainty. During that waiting period, I found that resting in the quiet—just as the author mentioned—was crucial. Quiet moments allowed me to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with my spiritual strength. It also helped me manage stress and maintain a hopeful perspective, which can impact overall wellbeing positively. Engaging with supportive communities through hashtags like #SurrogacyJourney and #FaithOver can also bring comfort and a sense of solidarity. Reading others’ stories of triumph and faith reminded me that I was not alone. This collective support uplifts us and helps transform anxiety into hopeful patience. If you are on a similar path, I encourage you to identify verses or thoughts that anchor your spirit. Whether it’s a personal prayer, a meaningful scripture, or simply moments of quiet reflection, these small practices can sustain you. Remember, regardless of the outcome, praising and hoping cultivates resilience and peace during times of uncertainty, much like the shared message of praise and hope in this article.

Why I sleep naked
1. Regulated body temp - when you sleep naked, your body is naturally cooling itself down which can help you to fall asleep fast. 2. Better sleep quality - not only will your body cool down and help you fall sleep faster, but the quality of your sleep will be much better. 3. Reduces stress
