Get behind me Gluten.....

Hello All,

It has been a little while since I have posted, but here it goes! Since the last time I posted, I have started a new journey....to the Gluten Free side. I have had many friends do this, but it wasn't until I saw that almost 85% of women with PCOS have a gluten intolerance, that I realized this might be a big part of my infertility issue. I had NO idea...so here we are. Now, I know that you can not do this by diet alone. I have returned to excercising, and hope that this journey with help with my PCOS. I had to share this with all of you who might have PCOS, that there is a high likelyhood of having a gluten intolerance issue. Hope this helps, and I will keep y'all updated!!

Pursuing Life Anyway...

 So what path do you take when things do not go as planned? I do not have the exact answer to this. This is a question that I have asked myself many times over the years. What do we do now? Over the last eight years we have turned a lot to prayer. We have asked God for direction, and although it was in relation to kids, it has brought us toward other things that we have never expected. For one, it has taken us on a trek from Atlanta to Dallas to attend Dallas Theological Seminary. Although this time has been for school, it has also been for our family and whatever future God has in store for us! It has been a great time of growth personally and as husband and wife. I would not change a moment of where we have been called to be.

 Sometimes, I think it would be easier if all of a sudden you found out you were pregnant one day, than going through years of uncertainty. It would be easier for things to happen exactly like we planned. But easier is not always better. You know, I can look back now and understand why God had me become a pediatric nurse. There were so many times that I wanted to quit, or was not quite sure if that is what I wanted to do. Going through infertility, I am forever greatful that my path included serving children and families and being able to love on them! What a great gift! What have been your blessings on this journey?

It's not just me...

Well, this is the inagural post for this blog....and I am a little intimidated. However, my heart has been touched to connect with those who have had to endure this struggle of infertility.

My husband and I have been married for over 8yrs now, and are still struggling to begin our family.  I am so thankful that this is something that we have always been able to communicate about, however, I have never really spoken with other women who have had to go through this process. So, this is my attempt. This is a place to ask questions, share stories, and interact. My hope is that we may all encourage eachother on this journey!
