You are NOT Alone - He Remembers the Barren.

I'm a religious person, and I have not hid that in writing this blog. 

Today I was reading in the New Testament for a class I'm taking for school. We have a student choice assignment, with one choice being to write a blog post about what we learned. As soon as I finished reading, I knew I needed to write what I felt here. I chose the second topic choice, being Luke, chapter 1 - the birth of John the Baptist. 

Luke 1:36 - 37 KJV

"(36) And, behold, the cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. (37) For with God nothing shall be impossible."

Now we know that Elisabeth was an old woman in her "stricken years" and even in her young years she was considered barren and unable to have a child. I know how Elisabeth felt. I know the pain she felt when she saw her husbands sadness at not having a child. I know how she felt watching other mothers love their babies.
I know why so many people were so happy and rejoiced that Elisabeth was carrying a child. They rejoiced that this woman who never had a child would bring forth a miracle and an important hand in the plan of our Heavenly Father. 

There are times when going through this trial of infertility, that I feel very alone. I feel like I am working toward the impossible. After all, if my doctor can't fix it, I guess it can't be done. 

I feel like Mary a little bit in this trial; I question, how can this happen? How can the things God has promised me come to pass? 

As Gabriel, the angel, said to Mary, "nothing" is impossible for God. 

God had a plan for Elisabeth. 

God has a plan for me. 

We are not forgotten. We are not alone. He is with us. He is our greatest supporter and our greatest strength. He remembers the barren and he blesses us for our faith and our patience. We can rejoice in knowing that God knows us, our pains, and our suffering and He will provide a way to give us what He has planned. 

Nothing is impossible for God.
