Faith, Hope and Hot Flashes...


Let's start with the latter word from my title...HOT FLASHES!!  I knew it was a side effect from the meds, but W.O.W!  I got a small glimpse of menopause and it ain't pretty...the heat starts at your toes and by the time it reaches your face, you're sweating and look like you're sporting a lovely sunburn!  I'm sure my body went from 98.6 degrees to 110 in less than 3 seconds!!  And...my husband would like to say I was a tad bit moody and quite emotional to boot!  Let me be clear...I'm not complaining, just explaining :)  Don't mess with a woman's hormones....just saying!

I'm still unsure why I'm anxious about doing the IUI on Saturday.  I'm not anxious about becoming pregnant, just the actual procedure...and the wait.  Also, the economy hit close to home recently, so we definitely don't have a shortage of things to pray about!  I'm reading a book right now that discusses the fact that the devil works diligently to gain strong holds (or mind traps) within our minds.  Placing doubts and fears that try and confuse us and separate us from our Lord.  I'm realizing how very easy it is to allow these "traps" to grow bigger and bigger.  Satan is a liar and I am praying for VICTORY over this...in Jesus' name!! 

I realize I don't always know what is going to happen or the outcome of the situation, but I do know that God's perfect love is reigning over us and it will always work out for our good!  Living in faith and hope right now.  Lots and lots of prayers going up.  And...the knowledge that we are living in God's miracle working realm....


The LORD is my light and my salvation—

whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?

~Psalm 27:1
