the royal report skip to main skip to sidebar the royal report monday april 22 2013 niaw in our society today we ve become accustom to seeing abbreviations like the one above we text we tweet we even say them sometimes but for many of you you may not be familiar with the title of my post it s national infertility awareness week according to resolve s the national infertility association website http www resolve org infertility affects 7 3 million people in the united states approximately 1 3 is attributed to the female partner 1 3 to the male partner and 1 3 is a combination of both or unexplained in our case we were diagnosed with male factor infertility when we first were diagnosed with mfif we dealt with it internally and shared it with just family and close friends however over the course of our journey we both became more outspoken about it and wanted to share it that s the way most infertile couples deal with their struggle it s such a silent and private journey that takes you through a whirlwind of emotions i m so thankful for my family close friends and my fellow sisters at stepping stones http stepforums bethany org that encouraged supported and prayed for us through our struggle while we are at peace with god s plan for us to be a family of 2 i have to say it was a long road to get there many tears were shed many medical tests and procedures were performed and many many prayers were offered and while we ll never know the answers to the whys this side of heaven we do know that god continues to be faithful to us he continues to show his love to us each and every day so to those of you who may have had a part in our journey we are forever thankful that you walked with us and to those of you who may be walking the same road please know that god is faithful through it all i would recommend also that you check either website i ve posted alot of good information and support can be found on both websites have you never heard have you never understood the lord is the everlasting god the creator of all the earth he never grows weak or weary no one can measure the depths of his understanding he gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless even youths will become weak and tired and young men will fall in exhaustion but those who trust in the lord will find new strength they will soar high on wings like eagles they will run and not grow weary they will walk and not faint isaiah 40 28 31nlt posted by stacyandchad at 3 21 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday february 28 2013 grace and mercy grace is defined in the following way 1 elegance or beauty of form manner motion or action 2 a pleasing or attractive quality or endowment 3 favor or goodwill 4 a manifestation of favor especially by a superior 5 mercy clemency pardon mercy is defined in the following way 1 compassionate or kindly forbearance shown toward an offender an enemy or other person in one s power compassion pity or benevolence 2 the disposition to be compassionate or forbearing 3 the discretionary power of a judge to pardon someone or to mitigate punishment especially to send to prison rather than invoke the death penalty 4 an act of kindness compassion or favor 5 something that gives evidence of divine favor blessing it is through these two words that god continues to prick my heart when dealing with those around me he calls us to have and extend both of these to all we come into contact with on a daily basis for me that can be difficult you have those in your life that you continually have to extend these to and in some cases it s not ever reciprocated to you it feels like you ve been slapped in the face each time oh how it hurts there are those people who are unthankful unkind unlovable perhaps or even wicked that god places in our lives it s those exact people that he says deserve grace and mercy the most in his word he tells us love your enemies do good to them lend to them without expecting to be repaid then your reward from heaven will be very great and you will truly be acting as children of the most high for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked luke 6 35 nlt and i think it can t be done yet god does it to me every day through his great love he extends grace and mercy to me each day i am unthankful unkind even unlovable in my relationship with my heavenly father and still he gives me the grace mercy and forgiveness i need why because the depth of his love for me is unbelievable i have to love others the way he loves me with the help of the holy spirit my ways have to become his ways i have to be jesus to others in all that i do say and think so today i m going to decide to love the unlovely i m going to be kind to those who are unkind i m going to be patient with those who invade my space i m going to be jesus to those around me thank you lord for loving me unconditionally because only you know where i would be without it it s my prayer that i can do the same with others you ve placed in my life may others see jesus in me every day amen posted by stacyandchad at 5 05 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday february 26 2013 it s been a while since i ve posted on the blog when i started this blog it was to have a record of our journey with infertility and adoption i struggled with keeping the blog because there wasn t too much to blog about yes i could do the everyday type of blog but i have to admit my life isn t that exciting some days feel like i m stuck on repeat i had those moments when i would post something i thought was significant but it seems like those were few and far between as well so i stopped posting however i have been challenged by god to make use of this blog for his glory now i can t say that there ll be daily posts but i do have the feeling god will continue to send those opportunities that i can t help but share with others in the past few weeks god has taught me about prayer and the importance of it through my daily devotionals a book i m reading a sermon by my pastor and even other people god is teaching me that prayer is essential in my relationship with him prayer is the key to commuicating with god he wants us to pray to him all the time not just in those moments when we need him but even when things are going well for us he doesn t want to be last when all other things we ve done fail he wants to be the first place to go to a friend shared a story about prayer with me yesterday and i knew that i needed to share with it with others it was the confirmation i needed from god to let me know that he truly orders our steps each day it showed me that through all the teaching and reading i ve done prayer is essential to our relationship to him the story is my co workers brother in law which i ll call sam jones told about how god had impressed upon his heart to go and give his co worker julie a hug just like i would have thought he just could wrap his head around why god would place that on his heart and yet the impression wouldn t go away sam didn t know julie that well but finally the opportunity presented itself that he should go up to her and give her the hug as he approached her before he could say anything she stopped him and told him that she knew why he was there she told him you re sam jones and you re suppose to give me a hug he couldn t believe what she just said i have chill bumps again just typing that she went on to explain to him that she had been struggling with an alcohol addiction and she prayed to god that if he still loved her he would send sam jones to give me a hug who would think that she could pray such a specific prayer and that god would answer that pray for her how awesome and amazing is my god the answer for her was a yes and i know that every prayer isn t answered with a yes we have those prayers that are prayed and god firmly tells us no and yet we don t accept that answer we take it upon ourselves to work it out for our good even though god has answered that for us it makes it hard to pray when we anticpate that god may say no to our request then we have those requests that god calls us to wait and boy do those prayers cause us so much worry and anxiety i know that it s in those times that god is just refining and preparing us for when he will answer those requests we have to communicate with god all the time not just for those things we want either yes he wants to know our heart s desire but he also wants us to know his heart s desire for us we should be like david a man after god s own heart it s only through prayer and studying his word that we re going to achieve that i didn t realize that this post would be this long but i truly hope and pray that through some of it you ve received a blessing i know that i have and this is the confidence which we have before him that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us and if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask we know that we have the requests which we have asked from him 1 john 5 14 15 posted by stacyandchad at 2 10 pm 1 comment email this

blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday march 30 2012 it s quiet life is hard it s been three day since my best friend and assistant left to take a new job while i m super happy for her and the opportunity this is for her family i have to say that i miss her especially during this time of day it s naptime here at work and it s too quiet yes there is the occasional baby cry from our infant room but other than that it s eerily quiet i can hear the rain falling outside and i sense that god is reminding me just how close he is to me he s telling me to focus on him and engage in conversation with him during this quiet time he wants me to think about him and to develop a deeper relationship with him to find the blessings of the day in all that i see and do and to thank him for them because he s the one that placed it there for me and perhaps it s god s way of telling me that it s in those quiet moments when you ll hear me better than ever the lord said go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the lord for the lord is about to pass by then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the lord but the lord was not in the wind after the wind there was an earthquake but the lord was not in the earthquake after the earthquake came a fire but the lord was not in the fire and after the fire came a gentle whisper

interesting start to the new year my dad was admitted to the hosptial on new year s eve with pneumonia and as i write this i m sitting with him as he s still here we re hoping he ll go home today so were just waiting for the doctor to come by i really hope this isn t a sign as to the way his health will be for the year it s eye opening to say the least that my parents are getting older and are facing more health issues we did enjoy a fun night with good friends for new year s eve we had a big bonfire and shot fireworks until about 10 00 we ended it early so we could all get home and be ready to attend church on sunday however my new year s day was spent visiting my dad in the hospital it wasn t the way we would have liked to spend it but we knew that he was in the right place here s
