Just Now

My monthly period comes.... just now....

I really don't know what to say here. I also can't understand what I feel for having my monthly period now.

It's been five years of waiting, five years of disappointment, five years of craving, craving to have a baby.

In our first year of marriage, my husband and I told to each other that maybe for God, it's not yet the proper time to have a baby and just we need to wait when God will bless us a baby. But it's already 5 years of waiting. So my husband and I decided to consult on a doctor. I had my first consultation and we realized that asking help for medicine is really expensive. But we need to continue the medication because having a baby is more important than wasting money.

While I'm in the stage of medication, I read from Didache, my gospel reflection this lines, "When there is faith, God is doing His miracles." I showed this passage to my husband and he hugged me. He told me that we need to continue our faith to Him and that He will soon bless us with a baby.

Days passed with full of mixed emotions. Every time I think the different things that may happen to me if I become pregnant, I feel the excitement. Its also happy to see that my husband is always beside me. I trust God but fear also haunts me. There are many times that "what if" stocked up in my mind and can't move myself from trusting God again.

And now, just now, my period comes. I already texted my husband (his on office right now) and informed him about this. I started crying as I logging on here. And I am still crying. I don't know if how long will I wait, if how long will I ask God for it and if how long will I feel the depression and craving to have a baby.

Is five years of waiting not enough? Is the pain not enough?

What will I and my husband need to do for us to have the gift that we are waiting for? Please tell me... Oh God, please tell me what will I do... Do we need to keep on trying and to keep on waiting?...........

    I'm feel so bad for you JH. Let's say this rings home for me, not the period part of course but the difficulties with this. God be with you.

    Thanks Sir Virgil.

    The reason why I posted this thing in my blog is because I am hoping that somebody will pause for a while and whisper a short prayer for me. Oh, I really do believe in intercession.

    my co-teachers were happy this day, but not me...

    one of my co-teachers announced that she is one month pregnant. Everybody was happy and congratulated her for she also waited for that day for almost 2 years. I also congratulated her and was happy for her for we have the same prayer.

    But at that time, I wanted to walk out. I didn't want to hear the sounds of their happiness for i felt a strong jealousy. It really broke my heart. Until now, I feel so sad and hopeless.

    I thought I already accepted that I was destined to wait for it, that I it's not painful anymore if my monthly period comes.

    But this day, hearing that news from my co-teacher, I proved that the pain of having no child is still here. I want to shout aloud, to cry hard and ask people around me of what to do because even God, I think, doesn't hear my prayer. People around me don't care for my feelings.

    If only I could ease the pain I feel. I want to smile, but I can't. I want to show to others that I'm okay but it's hard.

    God, please, when will you hear my cry?....
