Thursday’s Babies has come from a personal journey. A journey that thousands of couples go through. For some, it is a short journey, for some it is great in length. The destination often differs, and the way we all get there often varies. Different methods are used, with different outcomes. And although no two journeys are identical, there are most certainly aspects of the process that we can all relate to one another with. The journey I am of course talking about, is that of fertility.
My husband Julian and I started trying to conceive in February 2006, five months after we were married. After a few months of trying, with nothing to show for it, I took to my knees and began to ask God what was going on.
I felt the Holy Spirit drop into my heart that this is a battle. A battle for the next generation of children to rise up and take their place. Genesis 3:15 is God talking to the serpent who has tempted and deceived Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, into eating of the fruit of the tree that the Lord forbade them to eat from. The Lord says, “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heal.” The enemy is not as keen as God is to see our children born!
