Sharing the News

Well, last night I finally told someone else about our struggle with IF.  I'm part of a women's group through my church and last night when we were talking about prayer concerns, I knew it was the right time to say something.  It was unbelievably hard to actually say it out loud.  I was really surprised how emotional I was about it and I really didn't go into any details.  It makes me wonder how hard it will be to share with other people (especially my parents).  They were so great though - they just asked a few things, all of which were appropriate, and then said they were glad I told them so they could be praying for us.  After I left I cried most of the way home, but honestly felt like telling them was a really good idea.  I'm by no means planning to start broadcasting our situation to the world, but I think as it feels right I'll start telling other people too.  

In non-IF news...I got that other job.  It all happened really quickly and is being announced at my office tomorrow.  I'm a little nervous about it since I work with a lot of volunteers and am worried some of them will be upset that I'm leaving them, but I know I need to do what's right for me.  I'm such a people pleaser that I really struggle with this kind of stuff.  I'm crossing my fingers that everything works out for the best.

    Good for you for sharing. Telling family is always the hardest inmy opinion, so I understand why you are waiting. Whenever you decide it is right, it will be.
