Dear ladies! Just wanted to say a big hi and thanks for your encouraging posts. I come here once in a while to see how you are doing. God is using your testimonies for a lot of good, and I find I am constantly drawing nearer to God along this journey, and I give thanks for all the good he has done in my life so far, and that is the reason for me to keep on hoping and trusting in Him and his awesomeness, even when we pass through the difficult seasons of life. May you all be blessed and thanks for sharing your testimonies

Jeremiah 29:11-14-For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, (Jeremiah 29:11-13 AMP)

Welcome to you, Markswife!

Glad to hear the encouraging words and uplifted spirits of everyone around here the past few days! I've been well. Been able to take care of a friend's 8-week-old while she goes to job interviews, so that helps me be more patient for our little one to announce it's arrival in my womb. I'm also working on a baby shower for another member of our church's staff who found out yesterday that she is having a little boy!

I want you ladies to know what a huge role you have played in God turning my attitude around. Thank you for being Jesus with skin on! I pray for you all often throughout the day and know God has His hand on all of you!

And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth." (Genesis 9:12-16)


After a storm the other day, I was driving around town when I saw the most beautiful sight. A gorgeous rainbow, stretching from one end of the sky to the other. It seemed to reach as far to the left as I could see and as far to the right as my eyes could search. It was beautiful! I stopped my car and just sat there for a few minutes drinking in the colors and reminding myself of the significance of this natural phenomenon and supernatural reminder of the faithfulness of God.


But guess what happened the day after I sat teary-eyed in the Wal-Mart parking lot staring at a rainbow. It stormed again. Lightening ripped across the sky and thunder shook the walls of my home so violently that it felt like they would fall down around me. However, I didn’t panic. I knew I didn’t have to. I know God’s promises remain even when new storms come. I also know that with every new storm, God places a new rainbow in the clouds. A new reminder of His faithfulness to keep His promises.


In Genesis 6-8, we read the true account of Noah and the great flood that most of us have heard in Sunday School since we were knee high to a grasshopper. After Noah and his family lived in a floating zoo for a year and therefore escaped certain death by drowning, God promised Noah that the entire earth would never again be destroyed by a flood. As a reminder of His promise, God set a rainbow in the sky so that every time Noah felt raindrops on his head, there was no need for panic. After every thunderstorm for the rest of his life, all Noah had to do was look up and see the rainbow. It was God’s way of reminding him that He was faithful to keep his promises. Don’t go build another ark. Don’t look for animals to start lining up two by two. The world will never float away again. God keeps His promises. Always has. Always will. As long as rainbows grace the sky, you can rest assured that God is faithful and He will keep His promises.


Your season of infertility may cause you to question God’s faithfulness to you. Your period starts again and a storm of emotion rages, causing you to wonder. You wonder if He really does love you like the Bible says, and doubt thunders through your heart. Has He truly been God Emmanuel--God with you--or has He left you to navigate the confusion of infertility alone? Tears fall like raindrops and soak your pillow at night. You cannot see a rainbow during the storm. Is God faithful now?


The answer, hurting friend, is a resounding YES. There is a reason for the storm and trial you face. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow. Without the storms in your life, you would not be able to fully see the faithfulness of God through trials. When the storm of emotion passes, look outside. The sun will shine again and when it does, you’ll see your rainbow, that magnificent reminder of God’s faithfulness to you. Your rainbow may be unique to you. It may come in a deep, settled peace that wasn’t there before--God’s faithfulness proven to you through the storms. Your rainbow may be a more intimate knowledge and relationship with God that you ever dreamed possible--a treasure worth more than any pot of gold. And who knows? Your rainbow may have curly brown hair and love ballet. God is faithful in all of His promises. He is faithful through infertility. He is faithful through the heartache of loss. He is faithful to never leave you or forsake you. He is faithful in all of His promises. He is faithful.

If someone asked you who David was, what would you say? Would you call him a giant-killer? A king? A scoundrel? A man who danced before the Lord with all might? A man after God’s own heart?


A grieving parent?


In 2 Samuel we see a portrait of grief hanging on the walls of David’s home. He is facing the imminent death of his baby, and is stricken with pain only a bereaved parent can know. The prophet Nathan has told him that God has revealed the baby will die, and although David does all he knows to do to change God’s mind, in only seven short days, David’s baby slips into eternity.


What about your baby. Did you know death was inevitable, or did it sneak up on like an unwanted companion? No doubt, you begged and pleaded with God for the life of your child. How your story parallels David’s!


David’s baby has died. There is no going back. There are no more doctors to call, no more treatments to try. The baby’s life on earth is completed. What does David do? What did you do?


Somehow through his grief, David found the road to recovery, and began to walk in it right away. Scripture tells us that when David was alerted of the passing of his baby, he arose from the ground where he laid, wept and prayed, he washed himself and changed his clothes. Then he did the most amazing--and perhaps the hardest thing. David worshiped.


How was David able to enter into the worship of the Lord? This is the same Lord who could have changed His mind and saved David’s baby, but chose not to. How could David worship?


I believe the answer lies in 2 Samuel 12:23. It’s a profound truth found in only five words:


I will go to him...


God surely pulled back the curtains of time for David and revealed to him just a smidgen of His plan for humanity. We know that Jesus went to prepare a place for us so that we can be with Him for eternity. David lived centuries before the cross and the empty tomb. He had no way to know that God had planned eternal reunions with lost loves.


Somehow, David knew he would see his baby again. It wasn’t a cliche to David. He knew-in reality-he would see this baby again. Not another baby that he and his wife would soon conceive. Not a child born to him at another point in his life. He knew that he would see this baby again. The unuttered promise of a glorious reunion with his baby made this painful, but temporary, period of separation bearable.


When your heart aches for your baby, remind yourself that as a child of God, you will see your baby again. Not for a moment. Not until death steals him/her away again. Thank God that death will never enter Heaven’s gates! You can be reunited with your baby and with your God for eternity! All that is required is the salvation freely offered you at the foot of Calvary.


When you arrive in heaven, perhaps you’ll sit down for a while with David. Maybe you’ll share how your hearts broke. He’ll tell you what it was like to see his child again. You can tell him what it was like to see yours. Together, with the children you’ve both loved and lost, you can join with David, the master musician, and and pen a new song. You’ll add a verse. Your child can dance as you all sing the praises of our Heavenly Father for all eternity.


What a beautiful song.

So my cramps continued through the night.... Not severe just dull, niggly and constant.... I phoned doc this morning... His receptionist asked doc and got back to me. He advised to take 2 progesterone tablets this morning and if I bleed or cramps get severe I should go in. He wants to see me tomorrow afternoon though. We have just changed medical insurance's and I have to pay all this out of my pocket as we are on a 3 month waiting period... I'm feeling a little worried but praying hard and keeping the faith!!!
How is everyone else?

 

[No Doubt]

Dyna I'm not sure where you live but if paying out of pocket is an issue you could always try to find a free clinic around you. There is one here that takes care of everything for women from yearly exams to all maternity needs.

Hi Sweetie

Those cramps could just be your uterus expanding to make room for baby. You should definitely take No Doubts advice and go to a clinic so your out of pocket expense won't be so much.

Here are some scriptures for you.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30

Peace I leave with you;my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. John 14:27

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Colossians 3:15

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all. 2 Thessalonians 3:16

do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

Since Friday I've been a little queasy Hubby and I were suppose to celebrate our anniversary, but there was no way I was able to eat anything. My diet lately is consisting of crackers, ginger snaps and ginger ale.
