Prayer/Support Group

I have been doing a lot of thinking about my experience TTC so far...and I am beginning to truly believe that it is time for me to stop worrying so much and stressing out over every little thing, and put it in God's hands. I keep saying what I want...but I think that it is important for me to pray God's will be done in this. I don't want to sound like I'm preaching or anything...I just wondered if there was anyone out there who would like to join me in a kind of prayer/support group...we could support each other and pray for each other along the way...kinda a check in with each other and in the process we'll be reminded to check in with God more.

I want a baby more than anything else...and it occurred to me today that I need to not lose sight of all the blessings I already have in my life. I pray that God will bless me with a baby...but I also need to pray that I will be open to whatever happens..whether that be to conceive a child, to adopt, or to not have children...and to trust that God has a plan.

Does this make sense to anyone out there? Anyone want to join me?

I hope this does not offend anyone. I'm usually not so "vocal" about my spiritual beliefs, but I just felt I needed to say what is in my heart and see if there are any others feeling the same way.

Hi Stephanie! Great! You're in!


Okay everyone...I've put up a poll so we can vote on our name. I wanted to go ahead and get a name established so we can start a post tomorrow! Hope that is okay...

Hi Anne,

What a great idea! There are all kinds of physical and medical ways to help us TTC, but we so often forget that there's spiritual support too. I'd love to be involved in your prayer support group. As you said, even if I end up never having a child, at the very least I'll have had a chance to form a closer relationship with God in the process.

Thanks for thinking of this!!

Hi Lisa!

I'm glad you want to be a part of the group!


To everyone in the group:

I'll start a thread in the morning (or more likely VERY late tonight...will wait and let the name poll go on a bit longer)...so that we can all have a place to check in... This will be so great! We can support each other through our posts and prayers...and get to know each other a bit better! I like that this group won't be defined just by where we are in our cycles...but by our desire to have faith, and to provide ongoing emotional and spiritual support to each other.

Take care,

Anne
