This year has been an exciting one for the Pamblanco Family! We have traveled, done lots of ministering, doing lots of home improvements, laughing, crying, working and I personally have managed to end another semester of my masters degree with a 4.0 GPA! This year has definitely been filled with a great deal of ups and downs on our journey for a family. Honestly, more lows than highs on the journey for a family, but all to say that God has BLESSED us!! Jason and I grow closer together each day on this journey and his support is unwavering. GOD has blessed us and continues to show us HIS will. We are committed to waiting for HIM to bless us in whatever way HE chooses. This year I found out I was going to be an "Auntie" for the first time which is so EXCITING ! I think my brother and his wife will be great parents and that Jason and I will be wonderful as an Auntie and Uncle. Many family members, on my side continue to be blessed with children, and as I sit waiting in expectation of God's blessing I am thankful and grateful for God's LOVE and the way HE has shown me that HE will provide and give us our heart's desire. I know that time is coming but has not gotten any easier. This blog was intended to help and inspire others on their journey, and although I have no idea who, if anybody reads this blog I am prayerful that a simple click or search will help another family to feel at peace and know they are not alone on the journey for a family. By no means was this blog created to "sugar coat" this process but to speak frankly about how hard it is and to provide support to those who need it. What I have learned in the past year is that many people just do not understand in the same way when they have had children on their own. In speaking to others on this same journey I have come to understand that this process and how one who is struggling with infertility feels and how others seems to struggle with how the one who is actually struggling with infertility feels. As someone who fights this battle everyday and does not have a single day go by thinking, "will I get to be a mother?" My feelings are real and to an outsider may seem "unreasonable" but nonetheless they are REAL feelings. This posting is for every woman and family who is out there on their knees praying for a family tonight. You are not alone!!! May God bless you and your family in the coming year!!!
