Christian ladies TTC, we can encourage one another.

Congratulations :)

I pray that this little one stays put for the whole 9 months. May you have a safe and healthy pregnancy!
 
Remember faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.
 
xxx_faithful did you get a bfp? If so congratulations, sweetie. I understand the fear but just put your trust in Him.

Unfortauntely im in the same boat as all you girlies, waiting waiting waiting. So no bfp yet, i sorta feel i am because of the pregnancy signs i've had before. Maybe i just want it so bad that i'm beginning to imagine it, but yes i am late, that i know for sure lol. The less i think about it, the better off i will be. In the meantime..

Here's some inspiring words from a man and his wife regarding the pain from infertility. It broke my heart and at the same time, it healed it. >> www.infertilitysurvivalguide.com/issues/chapter12.htm

Thanks for this faithful. I love how the author writes that we "have to fight infertility for the privilege and risk of bearing [a child]". Privilege and risk - so powerful.

Prayers for you as you wait to test. Have you decided when you'll try yet?
 
Finding myself completely vulnerable in the arms of our loving creator right now. I had hoped to be around 3 weeks pregnant now and although I haven't tested yet, I certainly 'feel' pregnant. I've started spotting this afternoon which freaked me out completely.

So now I just am praying that the child we've been praying for will be safe and snug in my uterus, that my hormone levels will be rising normally and that I'll be given the opportunity to meet a healthy brand new creation of our amazing God in around 8 months' time. Only God knows what's happening inside my body, so it makes all the sense in the world to trust Him completely with the outcome.

Prayer would be appreciated though... Thank you ladies.

Amen Muumy-2-one. I pray that you receive the desires of your heart and you are definitely on the right track by putting all of your trust in God!!
 
Habakkuk was really confused. He lived in a day when evil men seemed to prosper and God seemed silent. He could not understand why God would refuse to do anything about violence and destruction. “How long, O LORD, will I call for help, and You will not hear? I cry out to You, ‘Violence!’ yet You do not save.” (Hab 1:2) I’ll bet you thought you couldn’t identify with some prophet hidden deep in the pages of the Old Testament, right? I’ll bet you’ve already changed your mind!

God did an amazing thing in Habakkuk 1:5: He answered Habakkuk’s question. “Look among the nations! Observe! Be astonished! Wonder! Because I am doing something in your days--You would not believe if you were told!” God was about to move on the nation of Judah in ways that Habakkuk would never believe. God knew that His plan was so far above Habakkuk’s understanding that He actually warned him. “...I am doing something in your days--You would not believe if you were told!” God was going to punish Judah’s evil ways by using even a people who were even more corrupt. It didn’t make sense to Habakkuk. Why didn’t God use good, upstanding Godly people to bring Judah back to their senses? Why was God doing something that just didn’t make sense?

Why does God give everyone you know children, yet you remain childless? Why does God let children be born to parents He knows will abuse them, yet life has never inhabited your womb?
So much of our struggle doesn’t make sense to us. Our finite minds cannot comprehend the mind of God. Can you cry out with Habakkuk? “How long, O LORD, will I call for help, and You will not hear?” Perhaps God speaks the same message to you that He spoke to Habakkuk all those years ago: “I am doing something in your days--You would not believe if you were told!”

Here’s the part I want you to focus on for our study today. Habakkuk 3:17-19 says:

Though the fig tree should not blossom and there be no fruit on the vines,
Though the yield of the olive should fail and the field produce no food,
Though the flock should be cut off from the fold and there be no cattle in the stalls,
Yet I will exult in the LORD,
I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
The LORD is my strength,
And He has made my feet like hinds’ feet,
And makes me walk on my high places.

See the word translated “exult”? Would you like to know the original meaning of this word? This word, exult, literally means “jump for joy”! Habakkuk is saying even though there are no blossoms on fig trees or fruit on the vines to provide food for my family, I will jump for joy! If there are no olives, no harvests, no flocks, I will jump for joy. If everything I have is gone and all I depend on falls away, I will still jump for joy because of the Lord. Habakkuk learned how to rejoice in God when everything else failed. When nothing made sense and everything he looked at confused him, Habakkuk kicked up his heels and loved God. He worshipped through the darkest, most difficult days of his existence.

Learn to praise and worship our Almighty Creator even in the midst of infertility. You really can “jump for joy” because God really is that good. He will be your strength when you are so tired and drained emotionally. Let your heart jump for joy.
 
Happy Monday to all my sweet Sisters!! I wanted to share this with you :)

Wowee it is so beautiful being vulnerable in the arms of our God, some people view it as a bad thing when we are vulnerable towards anything in life. But being vulnerable is saying you have your walls down, you have surrended, you have infact put yourself in a position to be blessed and for God to truely work in your favour. You are saying, i am taking the back seat of my life and i want you to drive it. Being absolutelly and entirely vulnerable to God. What a perfect place to be. :kiss:

I came across this during my study and it really blessed me. I pray it blesses you, too.

Isaiah 54 (Message Translation)

Spread Out! Think Big!

1-6 "Sing, barren woman, who has never had a baby.
Fill the air with song, you who've never experienced childbirth!
You're ending up with far more children
than all those childbearing women." God says so!
"Clear lots of ground for your tents!
Make your tents large. Spread out! Think big!
Use plenty of rope,
drive the tent pegs deep.
You're going to need lots of elbow room
for your growing family.
You're going to take over whole nations;
you're going to resettle abandoned cities.
Don't be afraid—you're not going to be embarrassed.
Don't hold back—you're not going to come up short.
You'll forget all about the humiliations of your youth,
and the indignities of being a widow will fade from memory.
For your Maker is your bridegroom,
his name, God-of-the-Angel-Armies!
Your Redeemer is The Holy of Israel,
known as God of the whole earth.
You were like an abandoned wife, devastated with grief,
and God welcomed you back,
Like a woman married young
and then left," says your God.

7-8Your Redeemer God says:
"I left you, but only for a moment.
Now, with enormous compassion, I'm bringing you back.
In an outburst of anger I turned my back on you—
but only for a moment.
It's with lasting love
that I'm tenderly caring for you.

9-10"This exile is just like the days of Noah for me:
I promised then that the waters of Noah
would never again flood the earth.
I'm promising now no more anger,
no more dressing you down.
For even if the mountains walk away
and the hills fall to pieces,
My love won't walk away from you,
my covenant commitment of peace won't fall apart."
The God who has compassion on you says so.

11-17"Afflicted city, storm-battered, unpitied:
I'm about to rebuild you with stones of turquoise,
Lay your foundations with sapphires,
construct your towers with rubies,
Your gates with jewels,
and all your walls with precious stones.
All your children will have God for their teacher—
what a mentor for your children!
You'll be built solid, grounded in righteousness,
far from any trouble—nothing to fear!
far from terror—it won't even come close!
If anyone attacks you,
don't for a moment suppose that I sent them,
And if any should attack,
nothing will come of it.
I create the blacksmith
who fires up his forge
and makes a weapon designed to kill.
I also create the destroyer—
but no weapon that can hurt you has ever been forged.
Any accuser who takes you to court
will be dismissed as a liar.
This is what God's servants can expect.
I'll see to it that everything works out for the best."
God's Decree.
 
Proverbs 18:21- Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Hebrews 11:6- But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Psalm 127:3- Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

What do all of these Scriptures have in common?
Your heart. A deep desire for motherhood dwells in our hearts. What you believe is what you abundantly speak. You see a BFN-Your heart is disappointed. You see a BFP-your heart is overjoyed. You hear bad news from the doctor-your heart is broken. Where is your desire found? In your heart. Your heart plays a major role in everything we seek in life. The Bible even warns us to “Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.”(Prov. 4:16) I was meditating on Psalm 127:3 a few days ago when Hebrews 11:6 came to me and showed me the connection. Faith pleases God. The reason is because everything in the Kingdom of God operates by faith. Children are a gift from God. A reward. The only thing required to receive this “reward” that can only come from above, is FAITH.

What you believe in your heart is what you spend the most time talking about. Matthew 12:34 says that “...out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” the words that we speak don't evaporate, they accumulate. When you speak good things over yourself or others, you bless. When you speak negatively of yourself or someone else, you curse. So it is so important that while we are waiting for our BFP, we are speaking faith filled words and not negative things no matter what it looks like. I was reading this book one day and the author shared about how one day the Lord spoke to him (Charles Capps) and told him “My people can have what they say if they stop saying what they have. For as long as they say what they have, they will have no more than what they say.”

Before the earth was formed, there was no earth in existence. Then God spoke light, and creation into existence. When you speak the Word of God in faith, you are speaking life. That's why the Proverb says life and death are in the power of the tongue. I speak to my womb all the time and call it blessed and functioning in the perfection that God created it to function in. Romans 4:13 says that God called those things that be not as though they were. So, I do the same. When I pray over my kids, I pray over my twin boys, Joshua and Immanuel. When I say grace, I thank Him for the food and I thank Him for the twins in my womb that the food is nourishing. God knows I'm holding Him to His Word and I know that He's faithful and eager to perform it. So, I do everything I normally would as if the last test I took came out positive, knowing that my faith is working for me and it's just a matter of time before I get the real deal.

In last week's devotional, I shared some conception promises. You can take one of those promises, (or research your own if you'd like) and take it. I mean really receive it. Claim it as your personal promise from God to YOU. Once you receive it, speak it, confess it, pray it, meditate on it and conception will take place in your heart. See yourself pregnant. Talk like you're pregant. Take care of your self like you're pregnant. Once conception takes place in your heart, NO ONE can talk you out of your promise and before you know it, conception will take place in your womb. Why? Because without faith it is impossible to please God and He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. The reward for your faith in Him and His Word is the fruit of your womb. Not only will you conceive the baby or in my case, babies you've been longing for, but He will provide EVERYTHING you need for this gift from Him. He loves you. He's passionate about you. He wants to walk this thing out with you and bring you joy. He already gave you His Son, He would not hold back any other children from you.

Give Him the opportunity to show you how amazing His love and power is in your life. :-)

Challenge for the Week:
Everytime something comes up that makes you wanna speak negatively, replace it with what you want to happen and thank God that it's happening. God will honor any attempt made in faith.

Example: You get a negative doctor's report or AF shows up- Instead of speaking what you see or what you worry will happen, say “I thank You God that I am pregnant with a healthy baby and you are working everything in my favor.” It might feel funny but the reward is so worth it.
Say it and eventually you will see it!

Confession for the Week:
“My womb is blessed! My body is healthy, whole and complete-nothing's missing, lacking, or broken.” I speak life to my womb and I call myself pregnant! God is faithful and He has rewarded me for my faith in Him. Thank You for this blessed child! I receive my gift from God! My marriage is blessed! My finances are blessed! The blessing is working in me, through me, for me, and around me!”

“Father,I pray that You open these women's eyes to Your vast abounding love and grace. Show them how much You care for them. Speak to them through your Word, people, through visions, and dreams. Show them how powerful their faith is in You. Grant them the petitions of their hearts even to the most minute detail. I call each and every woman reading this a beautiful, proud mother now in Jesus' name. There are only two things that You can not do Lord, and that is lie or fail. Pour your love and power into them and bless them for their faith in You. Thank you for all the BFP's to come rushing in like a flood. You are able and You are faithful. I thank You for all the children to come as a result of faith in You and I receive this petition done in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, Amen.”
Have a great week ladies!

YOU ARE LOVED and YOU ARE BLESSED!!!

Luke 1:45,37- And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. For with God nothing shall be impossible.
