I am giving my best friend a HOPE key for her birthday because she, like myself, is dealing with infertility and going through IVF right now. I want her to know that I am here with her and her and her husband will get through this difficult and stressful time. I want her to have HOPE for the present and future. God has a plan for her and her husband and even though right now it is hard to see it will all make sense in the end.
My husband and I had issues getting pregnant as well and we finally resorted to IVF and God's will the IVF took and we now have a gorgeous, sweet little girl, but there were many days before I was pregnant that I asked God why he was putting my husband and I through all the stress of not being able to get pregnant.
Once I got pregnant, we had more stress, because then we found out there was a good chance our daughter was going to have several critical health issues that would be life long and again I asked God why was He doing this to us. All I could do was have HOPE for the future, the unknown, and know that God was in control and everything would work out for His will in the end.
When our daughter was born, she did have some health issues that we had to address, but as it turned out none were life threatening and our little girl would be able to carry out a normal life like all other kids. God is good! Faith, Hope and Love in Him is what is important and if you turn to Him He will take care of the rest.
I hope when my friend wears her HOPE key that she thinks of all the positives that came out of my situation and she can focus on the positives with her issues as well.
