Thankful

Tonight I am so beyond thankful for the thoughtful words of a stranger. Today is the one year anniversary of us finding out that my pregnancy was ectopic. I've been moping around and feeling sorry for myself for three days. Pathetic, I know. I was just about to go to bed, and decided to check my Etsy site one more time and had a message from someone. A fellow Etsyer (yes, I made that up). She told me that she conceived her son through an IUI after 3 years of infertility. She also shared a piece of scripture with me,

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Phil.4:6-7

I've been angry with God. I've felt like he is ignoring all prayer requests for and about me. I've felt abandoned. I will probably still have moments like this. But tonight I feel that God is speaking to me. I feel as though I need to stop and listen. To be thankful for all that I have in my life that is going right, and to have faith that my prayers will be answered. I want to have faith with every fiber or my being, so I am going to continue to work on that.
