No matter how much I try to think that if I have an amazing vacation everything will be okay. But the truth is...even though yes so far this vacation has been amazing. We leave Myrtle Beach tomorrow morning but I still have another 4 days off work. And even though I know all of this it doesn't make looking at my situation any easier.
I don't want to say I'm depressed for that I feel is too strong of a word. I think it's more just tired and worn out emotionally. And there is only so far a vacation can take care of that. When you've been fighting the same battle month after month there comes a time that when you step away for a week you think it will help you feel refreshed but it doesn't fix anything. I think it just gives me only enough strength to keep going without completely losing my sanity.
I still have no idea how this cycle worked out. I want to be hopeful but I think at this point I'm so use to dissapointment I don't have any fight left in me. I know that sounds like a horrible thing to say but at this point I just feel like I'm going through the motions.
Normally during the two week wait Isaac and I are constantly talking optimistically about how we will tell people when we find out. What we will say, when the baby will be born ect; but we've barely said anything about it this month. I think in part its been so good for us to get away to keep our minds off it. It's allowed that not be the only thing occupying our minds.
I have hope. I really want this all to work out. But I also know that nothing I do at this point is going to change anything. If it's meant to be it will be.
I am just so very very tired of this journey. If this treatment cycle doesn't work Isaac and I will officially be over 2 years trying to conceive.
I just got news right before vacation that another friend I know is pregnant, but this time on accident. Oh how I wish that could be me. Don't get me wrong she is an amazing person and I am so excited for her but deep down I can't help but feel a little envious. I don't think that will ever go away until I have a child to call my own.
So for now I will take it day by day and try and rest along the way as I go. But it's so much easier said then done. I feel like my Christ like attitude is being chipped away bit by bit. And I hate it. I don't want to give in to my flesh I want to surrender everything to God...truly and lay it down at his feet. Right now I think it's just a matter of trying to see how.
How do I not allow something that every day shows me that I'm broken not to rule my day. How can I get to a point where I'm okay. I don't have the answers. But I think He'll show me eventually.
I do remember though even though I feel broken He uses people that were broken:
Moses- had trouble speaking in public
Gideon-was a coward hiding instead of fighting till the Lord called Him out
David-was a adulterer murderer and liar
Jonah-Was bitter and rebellious
Those are just a few the list could go on and on. I want to get to a point where I know He can use me despite what I am. He uses the broken. And I am broken. I can not run from this.
