I was just thinking about all my blogger friends and realized there are six of us, including me, that are going through IUIs at right about the same time.

Some of us have already received wonderful news, others have once again received news they didn't want to hear and still others are in the 2-week wait.

Beth got positive blood test results on Tuesday! Beth is pregnant! (Have those three words sunk in yet, Beth?!)

Alesha found out today she is not pregnant. (Alesha, we are praying for you.)

My friend at The Red Stain will have her first IUI procedure on Friday. So she will have her blood test sometime in early October.

Ashley will find out this Friday if her IUI worked.

MT had her IUI last week and will have her blood test on October 1st.

And then I am 9 days into the 2-week wait with 5 more days to go.

I wish we could ALL receive the news Beth received on Tuesday. But, girls, we must realize there is something far greater going on here than positive pregnancy tests. There is a plan and purpose for each and every one of us that God Himself has intricately designed.

I like what my devotion said for today. It was on one of my favorite verses as I have walked this journey...Jeremiah 29:11. The devotion was about God's Plans for our lives. There were three main points.

1. In times of trials in our life, we discover how faithful God is.
2. God knows what we can handle.
3. He will "make a way" so we can exit this season of our life stronger, and ready for what He has next.

The fact that we have a problem is a sign that we also have a promise! It's only a matter of time before God reveals the solution.

A matter of time.

To some of us it may feel like time is running out. (I feel like that sometimes.) To others, it may feel like we have been on this infertility road for far too long. (I think we all could say we have felt that way.)

But God does not measure time like we do - in seconds, minutes, hours and days. God measures time in LOVE. He knows exactly what we need at exactly the precise, perfect time. His timing is always perfect.

Beth's time was Tuesday. Alesha's time wasn't today. But chin up Alesha (and anyone else, myself included, who may receive the same news this month). It's only a matter of time before God reveals to you His perfect plan, intricately designed just for you.
