I won't give up!

So, I just took a week off work from my 2 part-time jobs, so that I could relax and get some rest. It was really nice and I went to visit my parents who were very encouraging! I got back to work yesterday and feel just as stressed as I did before I left. This is so not fun. I need a new job.

My parents gave me a book called The Successful Family, and it talks about a bunch of different things. One of the topics is about having children. In that book I read that God really does want people to be parents and he doesn't have favorites. That means when everyone around me is having babies, then I should not be sad, because God does not like them better than me. I will be a mom someday too.
Also, the book talked about things that we should do to fight for our right to have children. I have started reading my Bible from the beginning and I will write down every verse that I can find that talks about having children. I really like Deuteronomy 7:13 - He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb.
So, I am trying to be more positive, and believe that God does have a plan for me and that plan includes children.
This is a hard thing for me to do, when surrounded by people who don't understand and are pregnant or have children already, and don't understand how difficult this is. I don't really have anyone to talk to, but finally I think that Dave is seeing that I have been struggling with this all on my own, and he is starting to help me and encourage me, and pray with me. That is huge!

good for you honey. Don't give up. I will keep praying too. I'm glad Dave is starting to support you more now.
I love you.
