Valley of Dry Bones

FleurDeLis · Jul 14th, 2011, 11:28 AM

This was my devotion for today: Thought I share!

Scripture: Ezekiel 37: 1-14

We all have "Dry Bone" days where we feel dried up and used up. We are tired and our usefulness has been depleted.

However God says to "prophesy to the bones to add sinew and make them come together."
He also says "to prophesy breath to breath."

By giving us the ability to prophesy, he is giving us the ability to be renewed. ( i sure know my spirit needed renewing today)

Our strength comes from God and the power that God gives us. Our strength doesn't lie in our own ability, but through God's word. Even when we are weak, we can become strong bc God has given us that ability. Who else can take a valley of dried up crusty bones (I know i feel dried up and crusty sometimes, haha) and speak life into them and it happens. Gods power is in us and bc of the gift that he has given us, we can speak to our weaknesses and bring life to them.

Amen Lord!!

God has always been our partner through ups and downs. He basically know what’s best for us, thus we should entrust everything to Him. So keep up the faith! We should be brave conquering all difficulties in pregnancy because as I believe everything is a test of faith. God bless us all here.

Fleur-sorry AF showed up

Your time will come.

AFM- I woke up yesterday to the scripture Romans 9:9, "In about a year, I will return, and Sara shall have a son." I'm taking that as God's promise to me! I'm believing we will be pregnant in the next few months.

Hope you all have a blessed day!

RDY: I am so happy to see you. I pray all is well and if God says no about the IUI this month then I know He is getting ready to bless you with the desire of your hearts. Praying for you and hubby!

Glad to see everyone is well!

Thank you for all your prayers and kind words. I found out Thursday that my pregnancy was ectopic and had to have surgery on Friday that removed the left tube and ovary. All is well and I am grateful to be alive. Praise God for he has given me the strength.

I have been TTC for 4 years now. I am 26, will be 27 on Sunday. I have been reading this forum for awhile, but never posted. I have mild endometriosis and rupturing ovarian cysts.

So...something has happened that has never happened before! It has been two months since my last period, and I am scheduled for a blood test on Tuesday, the 26th of July. I am tired of taking hpts only to be disappointed, so I'm going straight to the blood work. I have all the signs and symptoms, i.e.: nausea (even throwing up), dizziness, headaches, fatigue, hunger/cravings, extremely emotional, and most importantly - NO PERIOD! I spotted lightly for a couple of hours one day, but that was it and havne't seen anything since.

I just know I have a promise from God that I will conceive and birth a child of my own. I am going to hold to it and let Him handle it. It has been a long journey, sometimes very sad and lonely, but He will see me through! I will be praying for all of you here and hope you will do the same for me over the next few days!

Love and blessings to all!
