She told Jacob, "Give me sons or I'll die! Jacob got angry with Rachel and said, "Am I God? Am I the one who refused you babies? When Leah saw that she wasn't having any more children, she gave her maid Zilpah to Jacob for a wife. Zilpah had a son for Jacob. Leah said, "How fortunate! And now you also want my son's mandrake...

Thrive through Fertility Issues: Hannah's Blog from 1 Samuel
http://thrivefi.blogspot.com/2008/06/hannahs-blog-from-1-samuel.html
Thrive through Fertility Issues. Sunday, June 8, 2008. Hannah's Blog from 1 Samuel. My husband Elki is from Ephraim and is a man from a great family that can trace their line through many generations. I was his first wife but he had to marry another woman so that his line could continue. Penny had many children, but I had no children. I couldn't help it. I would weep and I could not eat. But, the time that he said to me, "Aren't I better than 10 sons? Was the last straw! So I ran out before dinner was fi...

So What's Next?: February 2008
http://thrivewn.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 8, 2008. Motherhood: The New Frontier! I wonder what astronauts think when they enter space for the very first time. They have all the textbook knowledge but textbooks and reality can be two very different things. I feel that way about motherhood. I vacillate between excitement and how I will feel with only a few hours of sleep and having to get up and change a diaper or make a bottle or go to work! How do they do it all?

So What's Next?: January 2008
http://thrivewn.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 23, 2008. Many of us end up with the family of our dreams, either through IVF, adoption or a blended family. And after all the hoopla of a tender pregnancy, a mountain of paperwork, a lifetime's worth of doctor's visits or a miracle of circumstances that results in one, two or three children, we may finally have the time to turn to our husband and say, "So what's next? What challenges have you encountered? What hopes and dreams have you had a hard time seeing happen?

Thrive through Fertility Issues: Wounds and Arrows
http://thrivefi.blogspot.com/2008/04/wounds-and-arrows.html
Thrive through Fertility Issues. Monday, April 14, 2008. Bethann has commented on our blog that her fertility issues feel like a "non-healing wound on her soul . and the scab keeps getting ripped off." Oh, how I understand that feeling all too well. A book that I have read and reread is. A shift deep in our soul . An approach to life that becomes our personality . Our shape . our convictions . The Arrows taint and direct our spiritual life.". Chapter 1: The Lost Life of the Heart. I never thought of the ...

Thrive Through Loss: May 2008
http://thrivemisc.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 22, 2008. Don't You Just Want to Hide? When the excitement and enthralling joy of pregnancy ends in miscarriage,. May be your first instincts. I know I wanted to stay home, not go out, not play tennis, not go to church. I thought about moving, about taking an extended vacation (I did this one time! And I thought about just running out into the street and not coming back. Came across a beautiful poem in The Psalms the other day and wanted to share it with you:. He will lift me up on a rock.

So What's Next?: April 2008
http://thrivewn.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 18, 2008. Thinking outside the box. I went to an event not long ago and one of the speakers was talking about the importance of mothers milk versus formula. It was so interesting on one hand and sort of sad on the other since I will be adopting a child not creating my family through birth. I think we have to look at parenting as an art. You have to learn how to shade and color and item but you have to look intently as to what the item is and hear the color it's calling out to be.
