You get to a stage in your life when you want to take a ride down to a shop that you have never been to before.
You have heard of it from others and seen others buy amazing things from this shop.
You get into your car and start your journey, expecting it to be an uneventful one.
Imagining what lies ahead, dreaming about what this shop might be like.
You are full of excitement!
Not long into your journey you have a terrible crash at an intersection - your car is a wreck.
You didn't make it to the shop and you are so disappointed!
But you still think to yourself that you will get there - you will need to get your car fixed, sort out insurance etc etc, but when that is all fixed you will make another attempt to get to that shop!
You are encouraged by others to get back in your car and make that trip.
You are told that car accidents are SO random and that the chances of having another accident on the way to the same shop is really low! You also meet others who have also had this car accident and they eventually made it to the shop - so that encourages you!
So months later you decide to get back in your car and head for the shop.
You feel a little bit more cautious about this road that you haven't yet travelled on - particularly when you reach that dreaded intersection.
But you think that the same accident can't happen twice?
But you were terribly mistaken - at the VERY same intersection you have a devastating accident AGAIN!!
Your car is a wreck again!
Once again you didn't make it to the shop!
By now some people have returned to this shop twice already with a rather easy journey.
You wonder why they are managing so well. Is it the type of car they drive?
Is it the way they drive? Is my driving wrong? My model of my car too old?
So you decide to take your car in to be checked...... the verdict is that your brake pads were a bit worn which MIGHT have caused the accident but also might not have?
But you spend a lot of money getting new brake pads and you also get your wheel alignment sorted out too - just in case that also contributed to the accident.
Aah, as good as new!!
You feel more confident next time you venture out on this road. The beginning part of this road is now very familiar to you and you could probably drive it with your eyes closed.
But before you even have a chance to even put the car in 3rd gear, you have another accident! This has even happened before you have reached that dreaded intersection!!
You are SO frustrated and confused? Your car had just been 'serviced'?
Everything was supposed to work as it should?
You have some friends who stopped to help you with your car - for which you are SO grateful!
But others just whizzed past you with their cars full of parcels from this shop - gave a galnce your way but carried on riding.
Others thinking - "shame, Im SO glad Im not her!"
Others too busy admiring what they bought from the shop, they didn't even notice you stuck on the side of the road.
This time around you are more determined to get to the shop so you get back in your car and start again on your journey.
However, this time you are VERY nervous.
You are more cautious and drive more carefully.
Eventually you get to the dreaded intersection where you had crashed many times before and to your amazement you make it through safely!!!!
You start really getting excited about the trip to the shop!
Finally!
You will get a chance to experience what others have experienced and perhaps even get together weekly with your goodies and share shopping stories and laugh about all the funny things that happened!
Perhaps you will even make new friends because you have something in common - you got the same things at the shops!
BUT..... perhaps you let your excitement and anticipation get the better of you because, unexpectedly and suddenly, riding along an unknown stretch of road - your car overturns and once again your journey to the shop comes to an abrupt halt!
You are mad, furious, cross, hurt and angry!
AGAIN?? SERIOUSLY??? WHY???
Some people decide not to get into that car again. They still want to someday make it to that shop but perhaps they need to look at using other modes of transport to get there??
But some people judge them and think they are being silly and should just get back in the car and ride - its no big deal!!
Others can understand that feeling, but they have decided to continue driving in their car - taking alternate routes to get there. This is more expensive than the usual way but they are determined to get there.
Others have had accidents far into their journey - almost thinking they were at the shop.
Others have crashed early on in their journey - the car didn't even have a chance to warm up properly!
Others have decided that perhaps its not even worth the trip to the shops.
Others have made the trip to the shop numerous times with no problems and cannot understand what the big fuss is all about? Its really easy - just relax and you will be fine!
Others have been to the shop and back and realise what treats the shop has and they dont want you to miss out so they encourage you, pray for you and support you!
Whatever road you are on or have been on with regards to fertility and children - lets support eachother!
For those with no children - lets love and support and pray for those WITH children and sew into those childrens lives because we CAN!
For those WITH children, support, pray for and love those with no children, eventhough you might not understand entirely what they are going through.
None of us are better off than the other!
