The Most Wonderful Time

DebokoLeave a comment

I love the seasons of the year, but my favourite time of the year is Christmas I love the display of lights on lawns across the streets, i love the music its magic brings Joy and warmth.

I love the various shows, theatre, school plays bringing people together, I love the pop up shops, the Christmas fairs, the smell of roasted chest nuts as, with hot chocolate brewing as people gather for a spot of ice skating.

Christmas is definitely the most beautiful time of the year.

As we prepare to relax and celebrate the Birth of our saviour Jesus I just can’t help but look at my life and how he’s blessed me. I am grateful for this and for the cross, because of the cross and his blood I am here today.

As a waiting woman or couple, you maybe thinking this isn’t for me Christmas brings too much reminders of what you don’t have.

Your expectations seem further away.

I want to encourage you to find something to do this year that will satisfy you.

Volunteer at a Charity, find a community of like minded people and connect with them.

Find joy and peace in believing that God’s gift in the person of Jesus also comes with all your desire and as you continue to wait in expectation, you will receive.

I love Christmas not just because of all the wonder things above, but because I am reminded of God’s wonderful gift of love, His Son, Jesus.

Jesus was born at Christmas, love brought him to earth, he had all of heaven but chooses to come to die to save man from sin.

As we celebrate wherever you are, do not let it become same old time of the year of having a few days off work, eat and drinking pause and think about Christ wonderful coming and embrace him this Christmas.

Keep looking ahead.

There is a saying I like “look forward, because you are headed that way”.

If you are a driver, you know that your main focus should in front ahead of you. .

Yes, we occasionally glance at the rear view mirror before making a turn, but mostly we focus on the road ahead.

Infertility is a constant journey of endless glances backwards.

Recounting that one time you sipped a glass of wine or made a horrible mistake which you are too ashamed to speak of, that old relationship where, perhaps if you had been nicer maybe things would have worked out with another partner.

Endless glances backwards.

we take our eyes off the future, and our hopes and instead regrets sets in, trapping us in guilt and misery of the past.

This is what infertility does, it robs you of enjoying simple everyday stuff, as your whole life is engrossed with endless questions of when will I become a mother? When will it be my turn?

It can be so isolating that it seems no one can comprehend the depts of your pain.

My encouragement for you today is to keep looking forward, look unto Jesus, your maker and creator who made you and knows your inner most desires.

He put those desires there, keep bringing them to him and look up to him. He will respond to your cries for help with Grace and mercy.

He is the author of your story and the finisher of it .

Stay in Peace as you wait.

Christ In The Waiting Room

Waiting is part of life, everyone has had to wait or currently waiting or will wait for something significant to come into their lives.

The wait can be about anything, it maybe long or short and often leads to impatience the longer it takes.

Sometimes we wait with friends or a family member comes along to hold our hands or provide that physical, emotional or morals support.

A&E waiting rooms are pictures of pain and misery. People all waiting to be seen for their issues to be addressed.

Who is in the waiting room with you during your waiting period/season?

in His day Jesus was found in unusual places places, he hung out with prostitutes,

with tax collectors, those regarded as extortionist, with women (the woman at the well), and in street coner preaching.

if Jesus was living in our world today he certainly would have been found in fertility waiting rooms.

Jesus is no stranger to hunting people, the centurion whose child was ill, the woman with the issue of blood. He was drawn to the sick and down trodden, the ostracised and outcast.

The waiting room of any infertility clinic is an extremely high anxiety, fear, and pain depository . I used to just scan the faces of those waiting with me. Its amazing the mask we put on.

Our dear Lord and Saviour is a hugger, he would have been in the waiting room with waiting couples, hugging, holding and whispering hope and peace . I imagine he is there right now with you. Lean on him, trust in him and hope in him for your miracle.

He knows what you need and will bring it to pass in His own time.
