Serving Even Our Enemies

Summer is coming to a close. The air is cooler today. I’m sitting outside in my favorite antique metal patio chair. Which by the way, Joanna Gaines has the same exact one… and yes, it’s painted in the same color. I didn’t copycat her on this one; we truly were just kindred spirits in our…
Our Miscarriage Story: When Grief Takes the Helm

At 13.5 weeks, our miscarriage is done. It’s ironic that this would have been the weekend Brooks and I would share our good news with the world – we are pregnant with twins. But instead, it’s the weekend we got to lose our babies. Monday, at 3:30 in the afternoon, we started to bleed heavily and…
Fertile Soil: Will We Grow & How?

“A farmer went out to sow his seed…Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain…Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desires for other things come in and choke…
Prayers for Katie & An Update on Where We’ve Been

Well, hello! I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve written a blog post. In reality, it’s only been a month. But, it certainly feels like an eternity. Where have I been?!? What have we been up to here in DavisLand? June has been a ka-razy month! The start of our summer has been full….
Happy Mother’s Day! ❤️

Mother’s Day. It’s an Infertile Myrtle’s most dreaded day of the year. It’s that reminder that you lack the very thing that consumes your every thought, inkling of energy, and penny of money. It’s an emotional day for those of us still longing for a house full of laughter and pitter-patters of feet. If you’re a…
NIAW 2016: The First Things I Learned @ Infertility

Ah, my first lesson as an Infertile Myrtle. These were the first of many principles that God laid on my heart early on in my journey. Back when I was so self-conscious about my childlessness and felt debilitatingly alone. God knew my heart’s cries then as He still knows today. With each passing season, He…
NIAW 2016 is Here Again!

It’s National Infertility Awareness Week! It was this time last year that I went completely public with our infertility. We had already allowed our social network to know our deepest pain and struggle but we hadn’t come out of the “infertility closet” per say. I remember last year like it was yesterday. I was getting stronger…
He Remembers the Broken-Hearted

Sanctity of Life Sunday was January 17, 2016. I would say, for me, Sanctity of Life Sunday is the second hardest Sunday in my calendar year (the first is Mother’s Day, but that’s a whole other blog post). With so much going on, it snuck up on me this year. I went to church, grabbed…
Rely On Me: A Story of Triumph Over Depression

I feel like every time I write a blog post, I get more and more candid about the depths of my personal thoughts, struggles, and fears. I almost feel like I’m over sharing! But here’s the thing, I KNOW others deal with the same issues. The thoughts and fears we have are not ours alone, they are…
