Miracle on Baby Street

I am so excited.

My brother and sister-in-law are in the throes of IVF (in vitro fertilization)

               and miracles are on the move!


I can't stop thinking about them and praying for them --
           this is one wild and intense ride!

                             Totally super intense.


   It is unfathomable to think about the exact timing and intricacies of creating new life.

Amazing that it happens so easily for some . . . heartbreaking to know how hard it is for others.

And beyond amazing to watch when the pieces fall into place . . . and those without hope begin to hope . . . and you get closer and closer to a miracle.

I pray for this miracle to keep unfolding.

          And I pray for those whose miracle never happened.

                      And I pray for those who long for a child, those who long for another child, those who are in the midst of fertility treatments, those who are hoping to/preparing for/in the midst of adoption, those who know the intimate pain of the loss of a dream -- the emptiness of a womb -- the longing to hold their own child in their arms.

                          God, hold them in your hands.
