(What a loaded question right?)
Then this person said that there desire to have a family causes them to think of my journey to have one and literally makes them cry.
Today I woke up with the song "don't cry for me Argentina in my mind". No I don't think I'm Eva Peron and it may seem odd but I know it was God.
So don't cry for me please and here's why...
I've learned many lessons since that day we found out about our angel being promoted to heaven.
Here are just a few:
Let me premise this with this; I used to tell my husband that I couldn't wait to start a family and he would always stop me and say, "we're already a family"! Wow!!! So it took losing what in my mind was the definition of a "family" in order to really become a "family with him. So, God redefined my definition of family!
Here we go...
1. Hold on to the promise. If you have a prophetic word, bind it to your heart like the Word so that you never forget it. That promise becomes a beacon of light in the darkness of fear and doubt.
2. Declare the word: The word is what sustains the promise and the hope that you will see it come to pass.
3. Testimony: connect with others that have lived what you are living. There journey inspires faith and hope throughout your own journey. For me that's people like singers Natalie Grant, Chril Quilala and writer Christa Black Gifford.
4. Release: Find people that will encourage you when you are triggered emotionally in that area. Share with them and release that internal battle so that others can pray with and support you. You don't have to go through it alone.
5. Celebrate!
True freedom is when you can celebrate others that have what you are waiting to have for yourself. So you have to go to that baby shower, that birthday party, that wedding...
Time has helped me to be able to recognize much quicker when I am triggered so that I can begin to apply these to my life. And in that way I avoid boughts of depression.
So say it with me... Don't cry for me Argentina!!!
