In 2003, Susanne and I started trying to have a baby. The early part of this journey was filled with anticipation and excitement. It would be easy right? Getting pregnant is the natural progression after you've been married a few years. After a year of trying, frustration and doubt began to creep in -- but we decided to live with Hope and know that God would be faithful to provide all that he promised us. Now God never promised us a child, but he did promise that He would be our comforter through any difficult times. He also promised that He would be ALL that we needed Him to be through Jesus Christ.
Right around the end of that first year, our friend Jennifer got pregnant. Showing great compasssion towards our difficulty to conceive, she gave us a Willow Tree angel. It is named "The Angel of Wishing" by the company that manufactured it, but we renamed it "Hope" -- and it is a symbol of our trust in God through 7 years of infertility.
