Sprinkle and Bloom

The moment you look in the toilet and see red instead.
The DESIRE to be a mom is the same whether you've been hoping for 10 years or 2 months, whether you have 7 kids or 0 kids. Who is this girl you might be asking? She has no credibility. She has 2 boys. She's already a mom. 

Friend, it's no different. The woman in the Bible who bled for 12 years, she most likely felt that toward her women friends too. She probably thought to herself no one understands how I feel, that mom with 7 kids doesn't get what I go through day after day. But all we know of her is after 12 years she still clung tight to her FAITH. Faith that Jesus would heal her, faith that her hope would be fulfilled. The feeling in the moment, the rush of emotions when you run downstairs at 6am to take a pregnancy test and instead you look down and see red instead, it's the same feeling a woman whose been bleeding for 12 years feels, it's the same feeling a woman trying to conceive a baby for 10 years feels, it's the same feeling I feel after bringing 2 boys into the world.  The DESIRE comes and it comes like a typhoon.

When the desire to be a mom comes, there's no willing it away, there's no magic wand to make it disappear. It's just there and you're waiting and you have a choice. 
We can get angry and cry all day or we can cling to our faith.
We can give ourselves a GRACE DAY and cry for a little bit and then keep living.

Therefore, be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. Ephesians 5:1-2

Cry, let the tears stream and then give yourself a grace day and go out WALKING IN LOVE. Be reminded of the sacrifice Jesus did for you and pick yourself up and go LOVE SOMEONE ELSE.We're breaking our pride aren't we? So let's help each other.

Sprinkle your faith to people you meet today in the midst of your pain or struggle and God will bloom you just a little bit more.
