10.Other than the song “I Would Die For That,” post a video of a song that has special meaning to you and your infertility journey. Explain it, if you’re comfortable doing so.

Mine is actually a song from the recent movie, Tangled. It is actually about a relationship between the two main characters, but to me it sounds like a mom and dad's first experience holding their child and what goes through their mind. Finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and the wonderful result of having a baby. A "mommy's boy" and a "daddy's girl". Just close your eyes and listen to the lyrics :o)
I See The Light - Tangled
Mrs Red: there are actually 3 songs I would like to share... The first one is "strong enough" by Matthew West. I accepted Christ into my life when I was a junior in high school. I didn't fully understand what that meant for years. Struggling with PCOS made it hard for me to keep my faith. I felt alone and like God didn't care about me. I've learned different over the years and I truly believe that I am not strong enough alone and that I need Him to help me through it. That's where this song comes in.
Strong Enough - Matthew West
The second song is "Stronger" by Mandisa. This song helps me remember to just hold on to God and keep going forward. I don't feel like God had told me No yet on my fertility journey, he's saying wait, hold on just a little bit longer, this will make you stronger.
Stronger - Mandisa
the last song makes me cry. It is "Beautiful Things" by Gungor. The story behind it is so touching and personal to me. The lead singers wife was battling with fertility and she hit a low point. That's when she wrote the chorus to the song. It's a very beautiful song that can bring you to tears, my husband and I were drawn to the song before we knew the story. The story just makes it more beautiful. A year after her low point, she gave birth to a beautiful baby :'-)
Beautiful Things - Gungor

#1 Blake Shelton, God Gave Me You. This song means the world to me because I know without my husband I would not be able to get through any of this and continue to move forward.
#2 -Gavin DeGraw, Not Over You. I know its about a romantic relationship, but I think of it as a relationship between me and my unborn child - I'm not over "wanting" you, and the emotions I feel are very similar.
Aw! Steph and Ashley I love your songs/videos!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the song "Blessings" by Laura Story. It reminds me that God has great blessings in store for me. I know that when we have a child the timing will be perfect, I just wish I could understand His timing now.
ReplyDeleteOH YEAH! I forgot about that one! that is definitely another good one. :)
ReplyDeleteUnderstanding God's timing is something i guess we will never understand until the day comes when we get our blessing. Or maybe we will understand it years later, but we just have to trust in it completely and not rely on our own.
Proverbs 3:5
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. 6 Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
