For several months, my husband and I have been trying to have a baby. During these same months all of my friends, family and patients are becoming pregnant. Your article uplifted me. It's just not my time yet. I am finally coming to terms with this. Oh but when my season arrives, it will be over and beyond what I expected. Thank you for this article.

I am trying to recover from a 6 year relationship and it's been very difficult. My situation is quite different from most that I hear as he is a really good Christian guy and really wanted to marry me. He bought me a ring and proposed and everything. However, as much as I loved him and as much as I wanted to get married, I could never get peace about it and our relationship never seemed to be blessed to move forward by God. He didn't agree but I could never get my spirit to agree even when I tried to make myself move forward. So I eventually ended it (with no obvious explanation that really gave either of us much closer). It left me with a lot of feelings of loss and heartbreak but also with unanswered questions as to what was wrong or why not? And I've spent a lot of time going back and forth between knowing that God said "no" and my feelings and emotions convincing me that it's something else (like fear or jitters, etc) It's easy to see why God would say no when he's a cheater or a habitual lier, or an abuser. But when he's another child of God, is a really good guy, and was a really good friend. It has left me on an emotional roller coaster! But ultimately, I knew that I could never say yes to marrying anyone unless I felt God's approval in my spirit. So to try and avoid making a long story longer, this article spoke to me on many levels! I will be sure to bookmark it... It's been 5 months but I know that I still have a long road ahead. Thanks again! God Bless! God bless you for writing this article. I am trying to recover from a 6 year relationship and it’s been very difficult.
