God Is Good
This was our journey. And it was not easy. Attempt after attempt, loss after loss, year after year. And still, God is good.
We faced questions, and challenges, and needles—lots of needles. We faced hopes, and doubts, and pain. And still, God is good.
You may be just starting your journey, or you may be well along the path. Ann Marie and I learned a great many things along the way—considerations most doctors never provide.
We are with you. God is for you. We pray for you, weep for you, and cheer for you.
Open yourself to His plan, and wait to see what He has in store for you and the future of your family.
And remember—God is good.
