I am who I am
Thanks for visiting my blog. This is just my way of talking myself through struggles and doctor visits with infertility.
My husband and I have been fervently trying to concieve for almost 3.5 years. Our deepest desire is to have children to bring honor and glory to our Heavenly Father.
Feel free to email me at emilyhulett@yahoo.com
If you are having the same struggles, I want you to know... that God does care, and He wants us to be faithful, even when it feels like He doesn't care, and even when we don't want to be faithful.
The title of my blog sums up my whole life with infertility,
Lord... I believe. Help my unbelief.
