Dear Sister...

Dear Sister,
I know all you've ever wanted was to be a Mama. I know that for a heart wrenchingly long time, you've wondered why it hasn't happened for you yet. You watch friends and family having baby after baby, and even those others with infertility are having success. So why haven't you? 
You sort of let go of hope, I know. You thought maybe it wasn't in the cards for you. You love your nieces and nephews like your own...is that enough? You tell yourself it is for now but you know it isn't. 
I know your life has been insane for the 7 years you've been married. You've held on for dear life to faith and knowing that God has a plan for your life because it is what keeps you sane. 
Now though, things are settling down. Your husband is always home and all those cross country moves have ended for a while. You've found a beautiful place you both love and can see a future there. And for the first time in years, you have hope shining in your heart again. I know you're afraid to let the sunshine in and count your chickens before they've hatched, but have faith! 
Have faith because it isn't only your prayers He is hearing. He hears mine, He hears mama's, He hears prayers of SO MANY people that are praying on your behalf.
He has heard the many nights you've stayed awake crying and praying and wishing with all your heart.
He has heard me begging Him to give you a baby because your pain makes my heart hurt so much, and nobody is more deserving than you. If I could just GIVE you a baby I would have, long ago.
So dear sister, have faith! Let the hope steal your heart and KNOW that one way or another,  this is going to happen for you. And I just can't wait.
