I love what Missy said. I don't think I can possibly say it better...not that this will stop me from trying of course... The journey, the process...that is what life IS. Even once your Isaac arrives, you will see that his arrival was just an instant. The journey goes on, and on, and on. Never does it end and never do we get to see more of the path than that which is right at our feet. psalm 119:105 "thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a ligth unto my path" This season of leaning your heart into God and learning peaceful, but active waiting is going to help so much later on. your Isaac may have need of you as his example for this very life lesson. Learning to wait, because GOD is GOOD, in him there is NO darkness at all. He is not holding out on you, or making you wait till you learn some obscure lesson, it is actually very simple, the woman carrying YOUR child hasn't happened yet. God knows the desires of your heart (Psalm 37) In the meantime, praise God for his provision, and go out and do good. Deirdre Oh honey. I love what Missy said.

I do know what it is like to really want something and have to wait for it though, and the frustration of not being in control of your life, because I was 32 before I got married. I can only tell you what a friend told me recently. She and her husband had a baby girl waiting for them in China, and then right before they were to go get her, through some bizarre snafu, she was given to another couple. After they had believed that she was theirs for months - she was now with another family. She said at the time, she said, "I don't want Ishmael - I want Isaac. And if we have to wait a little bit longer for Isaac, then we will wait a little bit longer. Because I do NOT want Ishmael, I want Isaac." Their Isaac - aka Lizzy - just celebrated her first communion last month. Your Isaac is coming, Crystal. I’m not going to try and say I know what you are going through because I don’t have a clue.

Take comfort in the fact that Your Baby WILL come. It's just not ready yet. It may take a few more weeks or months before Your Baby decides it's ready to join you, but it is somewhere out their waiting. When I lost my first baby people were surprised that I was not more upset but I didn't feel like I lost a baby, just that it wasn't ready to be born and I would just have to wait a little longer for him.

I saw your link on my friend Shannon's blog, and wanted to read your story. Our situations are not the same, but I can identify with pieces of your story. The deep desire to parent, the loss of innocence, and the desire to treasure all that is to come with raising a child. All that to say, beautifully written.

I've never even met you guys in person and truly, I love you both. I would love to be Samantha Stevens and just be able to wiggle my nose and fix this for you, because you are right. You will be AWESOME parents!!! I'm praying that Baby H finds his or her way to you quickly. Hang in there. Love you. Hugs, Crystal ;) Your words are so beautiful.
