Hello. It's Jeff writing this morning. I thought it would be good to add a few of my thoughts here. In just two days we will know for sure if Robin is pregnant or not. Yes, the wait has been full of emotional ups and downs, but we feel God has been giving us reminders of hope on a daily basis. I have to say Robin has been absolutely amazing through this process! She has handled the injections with ease, the procedures calmly and the intense emotions with a sense of faith and trust in God. I am so proud of her!
Those of you who know us know that we love the power of story. It is through the powerful medium of books, film and theatre that we find God often speaking to us. A little over a year ago, I was reminded of the story of David and Goliath . . . how the young David faced seemingly impossible odds. Through the story, I was reminded that though we may have many giants in our lives, nothing is impossible with God. I was reminded that as we trust in the Lord, He will give us strength to look our giants in the eye and to be victorious. Shortly after this, Robin and I watched the film Facing the Giants, a film produced by Sherwood Pictures. Little did we know that a subplot of the film is a young couple struggling with infertility. We knew immediately God was speaking to us through this amazing film. There are a number of scenes from the film that speak to us about our journey, but one specifically I would like to share here. We are reminded that even though the odds are against us, we continue to believe. Many times when we see the giants in front of us, we are overwhelmed and intimidated. But if we focus directly in front of us and give God our all, He will give us strength we never imagined we had. Whether we win or lose, we will give God the glory. Enjoy the clip:
