Everyone of us has faced frustration and doubt. Does He hear me?
While I haven't struggled with infertility, I have struggled with feeling alone. For a long time I was a single mother. My first marriage had failed (neither of us were Christians) and I was trying to make it in the world with my two children. Just us. I longed for a husband to love and take care of us. Four years after the divorce I found God, or should I say, I finally accepted Jesus. Jesus showed me the love I'd longed for. He began showing me who I was in him.
I would watch the couples at church with my heart aching because I wanted to be like them. I wanted to be a "whole" family. For years I prayed for a husband. Not just a husband but a man who would love and accept us as Jesus had.
I had been single for seven years when I gave up and decided it wasn't in God's will for me to marry again. It was then that I truly began seeking God and comfort in Him.
It was also then that I met Renato- my husband.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33
Sarah writes with such beauty and grace. She teaches us how to worship and adore God. Her relationship with Him is so obvious it can be identified on every page.
I highly recommend this book. It's simply wonderful.

I'd definitely keep it. I had my own similar journey; our miracle boy finally arrived after four years of a struggle, while friends and acquaintances around me seemed to get pregnant by walking thru the maternity section at Target. It was quite a trip!
