Christian ladies TTC, we can encourage one another.

[Shellvz]

I spoke with my husband yesterday about an idea I had been toying with and he encouraged me to go ahead and make it happen.

Before today, I hadn't purchased any baby anythings because until there was a baby I didn't want to be upset looking at it. A reminder of loss instead of promise.

So today as a step of faith, a belief that I will get pregnant and have a baby or babies - I bought 2 little 0000 bond jumpsuits - one pink and one blue.

I don't know when I will be able to use them - but I am praying and believing that it will be sooner rather than later. Till then I am going to keep them in a drawer as a promise of children to come

Big for you!

I'm sorry dear, praying that you will find peace and comfort during this time.

God is forever faithful and will never give you more than you can handle. Be encouraged today that even though we don't see anything happening, God is behind the scene doing something.

I just have to share this with you.

I took Tay to watch the movie, “The odd life of Timothy Green”. If you haven’t heard of it, here is the synopsis…
A childless couple bury a box in their backyard, containing all of their wishes for an infant. Soon, a child is born, though Timothy Green is not all that he appears.

Here is the conversation between Tay and I after we watched the movie.

Tay: Mom, we should do that.
Me: Do what Tay?
Tay: We should make a list of things we want the child to be like and plant it in our backyard.
Me: So you think if we do that a baby will grow in the garden?
Tay: Mom! Not from the garden, but you never know...anything is possible...never say never. So, when we get home can we make a list and bury it?
Me: What would you put on the list?
Tay: That he is smart, is good at sports and loves God.
Me: So you want a brother?
Tay: boy or girl, doesn't matter.
Me: Sure Tay, so how will we do it?
Tay: we will make the list, put it in a water bottle, bury it next to my plant in the backyard, water it and it will sprout!
Me:

Isn't the faith of a child priceless?

 

[SuperwomanTTC]

Sarah that is so precious!

But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works. Psalm 73:28 (KJV)

Before you knew infertility would be a part of your life, could you ever have imagined how profoundly it could impact one’s life? You never knew you could hurt so badly over a baby that has yet to be conceived. You know that God must be working on you, but you cannot imagine what He must have planned. When the journey was new and fresh, you declared that you would remain faithful to Him throughout the ordeal and would trust Him through the unknown. But then calendar pages continued to turn and it got harder to trust His plan. You must decide whether or not you will trust Him now that your emotions don’t line up with your original desire to serve. Will you draw near to the God whose plan you cannot understand or will you allow yourself to pull away. Maybe you should go blow out some candles.

You see, I love to burn candles in my home. I have them in nearly every fragrance you can imagine, and light them up at any excuse. I have tall ones, short ones, tea light candles, pillar candles, tart candles--you name it! I love candles! Whenever I blow out one of my candles, I like to play with the melted wax while it is still soft. I guess there is still a lot of childlikeness in me, even in my 40’s. For a few seconds after the flame is extinguished you can touch the wax right around the wick and roll it into soft little balls. It is warm and squishy and actually quite fun to play with--as long as you don’t burn your fingers, that is. To be honest, when I play with the wax, it reminds me a lot of me.

You see, the wax is a lot like our hearts. When the wax is close to the flame, I can shape it the way I want it to be. If I want to roll it into a little ball, I can do so. The heat has made the wax malleable enough to change into the shape I desire. If I try to use a portion of wax that is further away from the flame, the wax breaks. It shatters and it is of no use to me anymore. I must use the wax closest to the flame. Throughout the struggle with infertility, you must stay close to your Savior. Keep your heart close to the heart of God so He can mold you into what He wants you to be. The heat of this battle is intense! Let Him work with you so that He can make of you what He knows you can become. If you pull away from Him, you will find that your heart will become cold and brittle, like the wax that is the furthest from the flame. The cold wax breaks and becomes brittle. Stay close to the flame. Stay close to the heart of God through your struggle with infertility.

And go light some candles!

Hi Precious Women of God!

I hope this message finds everyone well.

I wanted to let you know that Tay and I have planted the bottle in our backyard with our hopes for a child as an act of faith. I want to challenge you to step out in some way and make an act of faith, whether it be buying baby clothes, a toy or planting your own faith seed in the ground… I believe God loves it when we step out in faith believing that He is going to do something spectacular!

Numbers 23:19

New Living Translation (NLT)

19 God is not a man, so he does not lie.
He is not human, so he does not change his mind.
Has he ever spoken and failed to act?
Has he ever promised and not carried it through?

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6

I was nearing the end of time in college which meant I had to make some major decisions. I was so afraid of making a mistake. What if I chose the wrong path and was stuck in a career I hated for the rest of my life? What if I wasted all those years of study and all those thousands of dollars my parents and I had invested in my college career? I knew God had a plan for me, and I felt He was nudging me toward counseling, but I couldn’t convince Him to tell me anything more specific. I really felt that I needed more information than He was willing to share, but I had a plan.

I decided, in all the wisdom of my 20’s, that I would not get up from my knees until God revealed to me what His plan was for my life, and I meant that literally. I was going to physically stay in a kneeling position until I heard from Heaven. I’m sure that if you listened closely, you probably could have heard God’s holy chuckle. I knelt down in honest, sincere prayer and asked God to reveal to me what He wanted me to do, and promised Him that I would begin to do whatever it was He had designed my life to accomplished. I asked Him if He wanted me to work with sexually abused children. No answer. Battered women? Silence. Go into private practice? Why won’t you answer me, God? I need to know something. I eventually would have settled for even a word or two, but He remained silent. Apparently, I gave up and got up and went to bed. He didn’t even whisper anything about infertility. Not until He let me live it.

What if God had revealed to me that night what His high calling for my life had really been?
What would I have done? Would I have prepared for ministry the same way? Probably not. I’ll bet I would have taken things into my own hands, deciding that I understood God’s plan, and tried to carry them out according to my own wisdom, rather than relying on His as He revealed His plan to me step by step. His plan would have scared me to death. I don’t know if I could have handled it. Would I have accepted Jason’s marriage proposal had I known that I carried three diseases that would delay his desire for a baby? Would I have asked him to support me through years of tears and frustrations when I knew he could have married someone else with whom the prospect of getting pregnant would have been exciting and joyous rather than frustrating and scary? What a tragedy that would have been! I’m so thankful God didn’t let me in on His plan. I know now He knew best after all.

Be patient when you wonder why God won’t reveal His plan for your family. It sure seems like it would be easier if He would just reveal to you whether or not you’ll have a child, doesn’t it? If He would give you a dream or a vision where He shows you yourself snuggling a precious little bundle with your husband beaming over your shoulder, and you hear His holy voice saying “This is My will for you,” you could endure the seemingly endless months of negative pregnancy tests. You’d know a baby would eventually come. Or if a prophet of God would just come to you and say “God told me to tell you that you’ll be pregnant within a year,” you could endure all those countless rounds of treatment, knowing the end results. However, most of us don’t get these peeks into divine windows. If we knew His entire plan ahead of time, there would simply be no room for trust. We’re called upon to place our faith in an unseen God who reveals His plan to us step by step. Yet He promises to make His plan known to you as you need to know. Your job is to acknowledge Him. To trust Him. To cry out to Him and to let Him guide you. You’re not called on to understand what He’s doing, or to grasp the totality of the work He’s doing in your life. You’re just called upon to trust Him. He really does know best after all.

Great idea! Can't wait to see if you get to use the blue or the pink first (or both at the same time if it is twins!)

Tay sounds like such a sweet girl and it is surely a testament to her having such a wonderful mother to show her the way!

Thank you Jesus for this answer to my prayers!
