My mom sent me a text yesterday saying Geoff and I needed to read this article when we could get a free moment. So for FHE last night, we decided we would study and read this article together.
I relate to almost every single word the couples in this article shared and felt so much peace after we finished reading it. How grateful I am to be a member of the church. Going through the last 3 1/2 years of infertility would have been SO much harder if I didn't have my faith. I love the line in this article when one of the couples shares their thoughts on being "healed" from infertility and other ailments in life...
“When someone has an ailment or an illness and they are healed as the result of a blessing, their faith is being strengthened. But for those who aren’t healed but continue faithful, their faith is being perfected. The first is a faith-promoting experience. The second is faith-perfecting.”
I am beginning to understand what it means to have my faith "perfected". I have a long road ahead of me to go, but I know good things are to come.

it is a great blog!
i read that article as soon as our ensign came. i LOVED that quote to.
it was a good article and offered some good insights, or even just worded things in a way that i hadn't been able to.
if only people who haven't experienced this heartache would read these things so they would better know what to say to those who have, don't you think?
