We are not alone

Have recently been blessed with amazing support from friends and families as well as reminders that God had not forgotten us in or struggle. So it feels right to acknowledge all the support and reminders by writing about it here.
Firstly, a few weeks ago Neil's Mum attended an event at her church where the speaker brought a word of knowledge about a couple who have been married for nearly 5 years and have been trying about 2 years for a baby. That pretty much sums us up. Nobody responded so Neil's Mum went forward on our behalf and we were prayed for. No big revelations but it's nice to know Good had not forgotten us!
Secondly we have been very blessed to receive some great pastoral support from our church. We were able to meet up with the couple giving us pastoral support the Monday after the Friday of our disappointing appointment to pay things through and debrief a bit. Great help!
The lovely comments and support I have got from recent Facebook posts and this blog have been really helpful. Just to know people are thinking of us is really nice. And to know that others who have been there in the past have felt some of the things I am feeling is helping to make me feel like less of a horrible person!
I was able to have a chat with my managers about working around IVF should we go down that road. It's great to know that I don't need to worry about work.
Finally, I want to express thanks for what happened at church yesterday. I attended HOPE which is a church meeting for people with learning disabilities. None of the service users came but that was the best thing that could happen. The guy leading it was beautifully obedient to God and brought a word about how we should support each other in the team. So we had a great time of worship and ministering to each other. I received some much needed prayer and offers of practical support.
Overwhelmingly aware that we are not alone.
