A few things. First I wanted to thank all the ladies who have contributed to my series on fertility stories so far. I still have several lined up for you all and welcome more from anyone who would still like to send them to me!
Second, I want to apologize for my lack of a better word/wording when it comes to this issue. I’m still working out what this project is and what I’d like it to be. I just wanted to get the “conversation” going somehow and for, well, lack of a better word I went with “fertility“. I understand this might rub some women the wrong way, the way “reproduction” instead of “procreation” does and for that I am sorry.
By using the word fertility I don’t mean to diminish the miraculous work of God, who creates all life, by smudging it with a “scientific” word. Nor do I want to exclude any women who are not “fertile” either by being beyond their childbearing years or by having God close their wombs. I really would like to hear from more of you in these situations.
This was one of my goals in starting this series, to have the perspectives of women in all stages of life and in either situation, fruitful or barren, sharing their insights with one another. My hope is to provide a deeper understanding of each other and of God’s faithfulness to us in the midst of our fears, heartaches and struggles.
If you have sent your story to me and haven’t heard from me in a while bear with me! They have not been forgotten, life has just demanded a lot from me lately and will probably not change anytime soon. I’ll be in touch I promise!
Also, if you haven’t and would like to send your story to me read this post first and then please send it on!
If you want to read any of the stories I’ve already posted in this series you can find them HERE.
