This is a special collection of notecards representing so much more than the opportunity to write a friend or family member. 

No one travels the path of healing in a straight line - while there are stages to grief there are also times when it feels circular rather than linear. In those moments our lives intersect with beauty, grace, love, and truth - we are given unique ways to see anew, to experience deeper intimacy with God and others.

Suggestions for how to use these notecards:

• Color them in while listening to music or Scripture
• Add a new color every day/week/month, and reflect on where you saw God during that time period
• Spend time in prayer while reflecting on each drawing. Write down verses or phrases that come to mind, and pray over them.
• Use these drawings as a template for a collective painting/ coloring in a group for a couple facing infertility or a specific individual walking through a difficult season. Each person takes turns filling in a space with a different color. Let the picture be a reminder to them that they belong, that they have a community of people who love them and are with them on the journey. 

Comes in a set of 5 one-sided notecards (5.5 x 4.5) with envelopes.

Want to give but it's not in the budget? By donating just $10, $15, or $25, you can directly make an impact and fund a spiritual retreat for women facing infertility. 

Our goal is to host two retreats in the next year. Women will be invited to join us at minimal cost to them, and led through Scripture, reflections, group and individual processing times, and other helpful exercises. It is a retreat for the body and mind, but most importantly for the soul, so there will be plenty of moments in silence to hear God speak. Having this opportunity to connect with other women in walking the road of infertility is so important in our healing journey. Thank you for playing a part in it!
