Following the peace...is it enough?

  

How do we know we are doing all we can do without imposing on the will of the Father?  

Every time I ask this question the same conclusion is drawn...Follow the Peace.  

Trying to have children while dealing with infertility is taxing in every single aspect of ones life.  It is emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically confusing.  All of these different emotions can make it hard to know what to do.  Am I making this decision because I want it or because It is the best option for us?  Am I choosing this because the Dr. made it sound like a quicker route to parenthood?  Or is it what we need to do?  It can make you feel like your drowning in a sea of options.  You could go drive yourself crazy trying to figure it all out on your own.  How do you know which path is right for you and your spouse?  

Follow the peace.  

When my husband and I found out we had and inverted chromosome issue there was no doubt in our minds that we were going to do in vitro with genetic testing.  As the time came closer to pick a doctor we really had to look inside ourselves to find the peace.  There were two doctors we were choosing between.   One made the process sound quick and easy and amazing!  Who doesn't want to move the process along?  The other made it sound like a longer road, full of testing and preparation.  Both doctors were comparable on many levels.  The only confirmation we got was a simple peace.  Either doctor may work but the peace that accompanies a decision makes it less stressful.   At some points in the journey that peace is all you have especially when your world feels out of control.  

Control...that is a word for another time.
