CD15, IUI Day: (Everything Rides on) Hope Now

Our IUI is scheduled for 10:30 AM today. Please join us is prayer...

Lord, You are good. Thank you for the opportunity to complete this cycle and to pursue a child together. If it's in Your plan, please bless our family with a child. As we've said so many times, this is in Your hands. Although we want a child, we want Your will more. Prepare our hearts for the outcome of this cycle, no matter what that will be. We love You and know Your ways are perfect. Thank you for Your unfailing love and grace and the assurance of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. It is in His name we pray, Amen.




This song came on Pandora in March while I was working. I wasn't even listening to it as I sent an email. But the chorus jumped out at me and I was in tears by the end of the first line. For me, this song sums up our IF journey completely. The Lord has been with us through every step and has known from the beginning how this cycle will turn out for us. I hope and pray that we are blessed with a child but I know that, if we are not, we will be okay - HIS love will carry us through.


Addison Road: Hope Now


If everything comes down to love
 Then just what am I afraid of
 When I call out Your name
 Something inside awakes in my soul
 How quickly I forget I'm Yours 
 
I'm not my own
 I've been carried by You
 All my life 
 
Everything rides on hope now
 Everything rides on faith somehow
 When the world has broken me down
 Your love sets me free 

When my life is like a storm
 Rising waters all I want is the shore
 You say I'll be ok and
 Make it through the rain
 You are my shelter from the storm 

Everything rides on hope now
 Everything rides on faith somehow
 When the world has broken me down
 Your love sets me free 

I am not my own
 I've been carried by You
My whole life 

Everything rides on hope now
 Everything rides on faith somehow
 When the world has broken me down
 Your love sets me free
 
You've become my hearts desire
 I will sing Your praises higher
 Cause Your love sets me free
 Your love sets me free
 Your love sets me free
