#JustForYou
To the
woman with no child(ren) yet.
The woman
who is constantly bombarded with questions from outsiders such as “still no
children?” or “how long do you want to wait…don’t you know time is against
you?’’
The woman
who does everything to hide the pain and frustration she feels from the endless
insensitivity of people.
The woman
who has no choice but to press on and act like everything is OK, when deep down
she knows it isn’t.
The woman
who has spent many nights crying out in prayer, wondering ‘why her’ and if she
will ever get to experience motherhood.
The woman
who knows she would make a great mother and wonders why so many women who
couldn’t care less about their children were bestowed with the precious gift
she eagerly yearns.
The woman
who now lacks confidence, because she’s been made to feel inadequate.
The woman
who has started to question her faith.
The woman
who all she is asking for, is to feel the joy of holding her own child one day.
To that
woman, this is #JustForYou
I am dedicating this blog post/ vlog to
one of my dearest friends.
I remember how nervous I felt when it
came to sharing my great news with you.
I felt a sense of awkwardness, because I
knew that you wanted to experience the same thing; to be able to
pick up the phone and tell me that you were pregnant too.
I found myself toning down my joy and
excitement, just so that I didn’t come across as insensitive to your feelings.
Well just want you to know that:
I may not be able to feel your pain, but
I certainly empathise with you.
I may not be in your position, but I
know the heartache that comes with wanting something so bad, it hurts.
I may not fully understand, but I know
God does and He actually cares.
It’s easier to trust what we can see rather
than what His word says.
Let the accompanying vlog serve as an
encouragement; that regardless of what people say or how you may currently
feel, there is still hope and that hope will birth forth your deepest desire.
I want you to see this period of your
life as being in ‘Active Labour’.
It’s often when things get the toughest, and
the pain almost unbearable that you are on the brink of receiving something
beautiful, something worth all the pain.
