[BRK06]

Good morning beautiful ladies!!! I'm so glad to be back safe and sound. I had a wonderful, relaxing time away and already looking forward to our next mini vacation in August.

Time to catch up on the thread, praying you all are doing well and keeping the faith


Out-of-Control Truckers

...God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.
1 Corinthians 10:13

When I was about eight years old, I went on a road trip with my mom through the mountains of Tennessee. I remember sitting in the front seat feeling like such a grown up! As I am a child of the 70’s, I remember the crackling of the CB radio as truckers carried on their lively conversations and warnings of “smokeys” hiding in their speed traps.

We were coming down the side of a mountain on skinny, curvy roads as I noticed that my mom was driving much faster than normal. She would take the curves without slowing down and it really became frightening. What was happening? There was an 18-wheeler just behind our car that had lost its brakes and was barreling down that mountain out of control! Truckers were talking my mom down the mountain as she had no way to get out of the path of the truck behind her. “There’s a huge curve to your right just ahead of you! Get ready!” “Just another mile and you’ll be off the mountain! Hang on, lady!” It was utterly terrifying! My mom never said a word to me as I peppered her with questions. She just gripped her steering wheel and prayed.

Finally, we saw the most beautiful sight we had ever seen in our entire lives! That dirt road leading up the side of the mountain was more glorious than any sunset, any mansion or any diamond ring we had ever seen! Why? It was the way of escape for the out-of-control truck behind us. When the trucker rounded that curve in the road and saw an empty escape route, he turned his steering wheel to the right and plowed his way up the escape path. The incline and deep sand in the escape route slowed his truck to a stop. My mom was able to slow down and safely drive us the rest of the way down the mountain.

Infertility is hard. You certainly don’t need me to tell you that. It sometimes feels like your emotions are so out of control, that you simply cannot take the frustration any more. You get a bad report from the doctor, or you get another invitation to a baby shower in the mail just as you get off the phone with your newly pregnant sister-in-law. You just don’t know how much more of this you can take! You’ve been told time and again that God has a plan for your life, and that He will work through this situation, but you’re just not sure you can hang on long enough for Him to do the work. Has God pushed you to limits beyond what you can bear?

No, friend. He promises to never give you more of a burden than you can bear. It’s written in black and white, and found in 1 Corinthians 10:13. The word, “temptation” is really quite an interesting word. The literal meaning is “adversity, affliction, trouble: sent by God and serving to test or prove one's character, faith, holiness”. God will not allow more adversity, affliction or trouble to come into your life than what you are able to bear. He may push you right up to the limit of what you can stand, but He’ll never allow more than you can survive. When you feel like the burden is too heavy, and you are about to give in to the pressure, look around you. God promises a way of escape. Perhaps it will be found in the encouragement of a supportive friend. Maybe your pastor will deliver a sermon that speaks directly to your heart and the specific struggle you face. It may even come in a good doctor’s report, or just a stress-free date with your spouse. Look around you. God promises a way of escape when you feel like giving up.

God doesn’t allow tests and trials like infertility to come into your life because He likes to see you suffer. Don’t you know that He loves you, and hurts right along with you? So why does He allow it? They prove your character. Trials overcome make a shining example of faith and holiness.

Perhaps you need to hear it from a fellow sufferer of long ago. Surely there were days that Job felt like giving up. Surely he felt like he couldn’t take the hurt any more. Surely he wondered if God really did have a plan for him. Perhaps his escape route came in the form of a deep abiding belief that good things were around the bend. Read the words he shares with you today:

But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. (Job 23:10)

When your struggle with infertility gets the hardest, and you feel tempted to give up on God and His plan, just hold on, lady! God will provide a way of escape for you. And when He has tested you, you will come forth as gold!

Glad to see you back and rested from your vacation!!

Thank you for this one... I needed it today!

 

[Godsjewel]

But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5


...pray for one another so that you may be healed.
James 5:16

For the woman who suffers from infertility, frustrations abound. Besides the obvious heartache of the absence of a baby, perhaps one of the greatest frustrations comes from living with the daily knowledge that your body doesn’t work like God designed it to. Everything about a woman’s body is uniquely crafted to carry and nurture a child. While some diseases cause pain, and others lead to physical death, reproductive disorders lead to empty nurseries. It’s hard to know that your body refuses to ovulate, your hormone levels are like that of a prepubescent boy, or that what everyone else does naturally costs you thousands of dollars a month in medications.

Does God care about the physical side of infertility? we speak often of God caring about the emotional struggle. We know God cares about the spiritual wounds. But does He care about our physical bodies? Does He really care?

At the foundation of Christianity is the crucifixion and resurrection of the Son of God. Without Christ’s death and resurrection, there would be no reason to live, no hope for redemption, no chance of eternity with God. Praise God for this amazing gift! God cares enough about our physical bodies to knit a plan for our healing into the fabric of redemption. The stripes that ripped open the flesh of our Savior were placed there to provide healing for your body. Even for the healing of reproductive disorders. When you envision the wounds God allowed to be ravaged on His Son’s body for your healing, know that God cares about the physical struggle of infertility.

Have you prayed for God to heal your physical body? Have you asked Him to help your body to ovulate, or to increase your husband’s sperm count? He cares about your physical body. Have you prayed for others? Praying for others may seem a little foreign for you when you are facing one of the greatest battles of your life. It’s easy to let all your prayers focus on you and your desire for a child. Praying over difficult situations in your life lines up beautifully with the mandates we are given in Scripture. But did you know that we are to pray for others as well?

Chances are you’ve met someone else who desires a baby. Pray for them! God’s supply of healing virtue does not diminish when someone gets pregnant. He’ll never run out of miracles. Go ahead. Pray for someone else. You may just find an amazing truth occurring for you.

James 5:16 says to pray for others so that you can be healed. Understand that this is not manipulation. “Okay, God. I prayed for her. Now heal me!” But God says to pray for others. Perhaps you will find that your heart is pulled more and more toward the heart of the Father as you spend extra time in prayer. Just keep praying. Pray for yourself. Pray for others. Trust God for the healing of your emotions AND your body.

Here are some scriptures that I find help bring me peace through this journey.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31

The Lord is good. A refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him. Nahum 1:7

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

Count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work in you, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. James 1:2-4

This morning while working, one of my coworkers came up to me and told me she had a dream about me last night. She said I had a baby boy and I was so excited to show him off. She said the baby looked just like me and was a happy baby that kept smiling.

Lord, I’m claiming that dream as reality. You know it’s my heart’s desire to carry a healthy baby full term and for it to be a son which will fulfill my husband’s desire.
Thank you for the continued peace you have given me during this journey. AMEN!

I have been studying Habakkuk 2 this week and I can see how it applies here.

Habakkuk 2:2-3 (amplified version)

2*And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision and engrave it so plainly upon tablets that everyone who passes may [be able to] read [it easily and quickly] as he hastens by.
3*For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive*"or"disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day.

It's coming Sarah and it will be right on time and not a day late. I am praying for everyone in this thread. That God will give us the visions for our families so that we can put it where everyone can see it and know that it will happen when it's God's appointed time. Get Ready!

[srj1214]

When you struggle with infertility, there
are so many “can’ts” in your life! You
“can’t” go on vacation with your best
friend because you may ovulate while
you’re gone. You “can’t” have that cup of
coffee or sit in a hot tub. You “can’t” go
to another baby shower. You “can’t”
figure out where the money would come
from for treatment. You “can’t” handle
the anxiety or depression anymore. All
because you “can’t” conceive!
If you have grown up in a Christian
home, you have probably heard all the
Bible stories from Genesis to Revelation.
Jonah and the Whale. David and
Goliath. Daniel in the Lions’ Den. Go
ahead! Pull your Bible off the shelf and
read the stories. You’ll find lots and lots
of “can’ts” there too! The Bible is full of
“can’ts” that were turned into “cans” by
the power of God’s hand!
Don’t let these precious stories become
just stories. Remember that the men and
women we read about in the Bible were
just that: men and women. Men like
your husband. Women like you.
Ordinary people who put their trust in
an extraordinary God!
Think about Daniel when he was thrown
in the lions’ den. Put your husband’s
face to the story. What did he hear? The
lions’ claws scraping the floor of the
den? What did he smell? Rotting flesh
of other victims? What was it like for
him that night? It was common in their
day for victims to be covered in lamb’s
blood before being thrown into the pit
with the lions. (Boy! That’ll preach!)
This way the lions would more quickly
devour them. Picture Daniel dripping in
blood, but not blood from his veins. He
stood there untouched. A man “can’t”
survive a night with the lions, can he?
With God, he can!
What about Joshua? He was fighting a
fierce battle against the Amorites and
nighttime was coming! What would
happen when darkness fell? Joshua
didn’t have to worry about that! He
prayed and asked God to let the sun
stand still--and it did! The sun and
moon stopped dead in their tracks for
about 24 hours and never moved an
inch! The sun “can’t” stand still in the
sky and not complete it’s assigned
course, can it? With God, it can!
And of course, there’s Sarah! A 90 year
old woman cannot conceive and give
birth to a healthy child! That’s ludicrous,
isn’t it! Of course it is. A woman
beyond childbearing age “can’t” give
birth to a baby, can she? With God, she
can!
The list goes on and on!
The waters of the Red Sea “can’t” part
and stand up like walls of stone, can it?
With God, it can!
A man “can’t” live inside a huge fish for
three days, only to be vomited up at the
right place at the right time, can he?
With God, he can!
A child “can’t” defeat a nine foot tall
giant in battle. A virgin “can’t” conceive.
Water “can’t” be turned to wine. A
crowd of 5,000 “can’t” be fed with a
child’s lunch. With God, they can!
Maybe you’ve heard doctors say you
“can’t” conceive. Maybe you’ve heard
yourself say you “can’t” take anymore.
Maybe you’ve heard your spouse say he
“can’t” believe in anything anymore.
Maybe you’ve heard Satan tell you you
“can’t” carry a baby full-term.
Friend, pour through the pages of
Scripture and watch God turn all those
“can’ts” into glorious “cans”! Encourage
yourself and build your faith by diving
into the real stories of real people with
a real belief in a real God! The same
God who closed the mouths of the lions,
fed thousands of people with nothing
more than scraps, breathed life into
ancient wombs and even placed His Son
in a virgin womb, is the same God who
heard your prayer today. He’s the same
God who knows how badly you want that
baby. Our God is the same yesterday,
today and forever! He is the only one
who can turn all your “can’ts” into
“cans”!
I CAN do all things through Christ who
strengthens me!
