The Wisdom of CS Lewis

“We are not exactly doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be.” - CS Lewis

This is one of those quotes that makes you stand up and shout, YES! I read this while I was walking out my infertility journey and it provided me a mixture of sadness and hope. Sadness, as I realized the reality that the pain of waiting could go on for quite some time. Hope, as I clung tightly to the promise that He would do what was best for us - no matter what that meant.

In the end, our pain relatively paled in comparison to that of others. But I hope to carry this truth with me and remember it as I continue to walk through life. There will be many more roads that we travel, for ourselves and for others that will require our willingness to walk through pain in order to reach His best.

There are moments of questioning the pain . . . but I will always trust the outcome.
