Hello Ladies, what a wonderful thread! And thanks for pointing out your other thread Xpecta. It's so nice to have a few threads for like minded folks.

For those of you who don't 'know' me...I'm a 41 yr old SAHM/Home schooler. This is my fourth baby, and a surprise one. I had an mc 5 yrs ago, and didn't expect another blessing from the Lord. We don't use any type of birth control, and so I was always a bit hopeful that we would get another blessing...and I did

We are also going thru some very stressful times. I have some physical problems (firbromyalgia and arthritis in hips and lower back) that I am dealing with too. But, the Lord is watching over us, I know, and I just have to have Faith that all will work out in the end.

My little bundle is active and healthy, according to the scans. I wont take genetic testing though. Our child will be who s/he is.

Anyways, hello all!

aww, so sorry for your loss, and so happy for your healthy rainbow bump this time around!! prayers for the Lord's healing touch in regards to your physical complications.

beautiful xpecta! Dh and i cant watch the passion without crying. sometimes we have to skip over the beating and crucifiction. its just too overwhelming and emotional sometimes. i found a thread on another site where they were talking about using the book while i was searching for it. im gonna order it on payday or just go get it from one of the christian stores in town

I'm so happy you're going to get it! It has been SUCH a blessing on my life!

Hi ladies,

I've just been reading through this thread and wondered if I can join? I'm expecting my first child in August; my husband and I are both Christians so we'll definitely be doing as much as we can to raise our LO in the faith.

I've kind of been on a big journey with God to get to this point. I'm 26 and from the UK. Two years ago pretty much to the day a long term relationship I was in ended and I was distraught. Had a job I hated, too, long-term sickness, and my parents' divorce to cope with. So when God told me to move to Cambodia, I thought, why not?! When a lady at my church group told me she'd had a vision of me in Cambodia surrounded by love hearts, that confirmed things!

So in August 2010 I arrived in Cambodia to teach at a Christian school for missionary kids. I'd been here 5 days when I first saw my husband across a crowded room (he was leading worship at the first staff meeting and I'm a sucker for men with guitars, what can I say!). He's Cambodian so we had a few cultural differences at first, most importantly that if I was going to start dating him it could only be if I genuinely intended to marry him. After lots of prayer (over a very short time) we started dating in September 2010, decided to get married in December, got officially engaged in February and were married in May!!! Then at the start of this December I found out I'm pregnant...

So it's been a whirlwind ride, but I know God's been totally behind it all - He's provided everything from the pretext for our first date (I was complaining about how I couldn't eat any food at a certain restaurant as I'm gluten intolerant, my husband revealed it was his favourite, the next week a series of 'co-incidences' led to me finding a dish I could eat there, so he used that as an excuse to take me to try it!) to $3000 when the Cambodian government decided I couldn't get married without proof of that being earned in a certain month, and the only person who could sign that proof randomly arriving in Cambodia the day I needed his signature!

Sorry for the long story, but God is good! Been finding my faith in a bit of a lull in recent weeks, mainly because I've been feeling too sick from being pregnant, which is stupid because I'm also so thankful for being pregnant! So hoping that sharing my testimony with you ladies might help kick me back into action again!

God bless xxx

Welcome and congrats Heather! What a wonderful story you have. God is good.

 

[blessedmomma]

welcome theza! i love that even though we dont personally know each other, we still do through Jesus. and i cant wait to meet you all face to face when everything is done and we spend eternity in heaven!

 

[peacelikeariv]

Hey Ladies! I just found this thread! What a wonderful idea. Dh and I will be raising our little one to live for the Lord. The Bible has so many wonderful references for raising a child. I cannot wait to get started!

Welcome to the board Peace!

Did everyone have a nice Christmas? We did. It was quiet (as quiet as 3 excited children can be. lol), nice dinner. We had fun opening the handmade gifts we made each other. Even my 7yr old is learning the value of a homemade gift. Which I am thankful for, as he seems to be such a store bought toy type of guy.

I think it's so lovely to see a christian thread, I didn't know there was a religious section on BnB either.
I am a teen parent-to-be my mother is a very religious person so I am still learning about my religion through her, I want my child to grow up a christian and my mother to teach her all she taught me and my brother when we were growing up.

I lost my wonderful father when i was 17 weeks pregnant, it's been the hardest time of my life..God has given me this child though and I know my baby girl is a gift from him because as soon as I found out I was pregnant my dad became very ill and died before he could even be apart of my pregnancy and experience all the joy I am having now. When my dad died it's the first time I felt my baby girl kick, so I believe this child is here to replace the love I had for my dad and much more. I have been through SO much in this pregnancy I am actually shocked that she has still hung on in there and not miscarried, I know God is looking after my baby because whenever I go for an appointment with my midwife she always tells me my baby's very happy in there even though I am so stressed and somedays I just wish my life would end.

Anyway, I thought I would share that with you all as I haven't really spoken to anyone about it on here before and I feel comfortable with this thread.. thank you OP for this thread, and I am going to look for this religious section now.:wave:

God bless you all x

 

[Dorian]

Welcome to the board Trina I'm so sorry about your Dad. And I'm so glad that God has shown you some good in your hard times.

 

[CeeDee]

We had a nice Christmas. I went to church in the morning and then to my parents’ house for dinner. The next day we went to my sister’s house. I love the idea of handmade gifts.

Trinaestella, Welcome! I am so sorry for your loss. It’s wonderful to hear your testimony and that you are finding peace in your loss.

Hello Ladies. Wanted to ask for a prayer request. DH found out last night that his step mother has been cheating on his father with multiple partners for the past two years. They went through a rough patch last Christmas, but we thought things had straightened out. We had no idea this was going on. DH is very angry with Step Mother. Father in law is just tired of the entire situation. We are 100% against divorce, but Step Mother has said she has no plans to change bc he deserves it for ignoring her for years. Please lift our family up in your prayers.

 

[blessedmomma]

will be praying peace! im so sorry your FIL has to go through this. if anyone can heal and change the relationship, Jesus can

 

[fides]

certainly, prayers!!!

hello lovelies!

just found this thread and wondered if i can join?

if it was not for Jesus i would not be able to get through whats happening right now. Our much wanted BFP came 26.12.11 and since then i have bled and had pains so i am on genuine bed rest until Wednesday when further tests are taken and hopefully a u/s in time.

I have been alone in my bed for hours on end while hubby has kept the Christmas charade with the family (i don't want them worrying) and its only through Goods love that i have managed.

cant wait to get to know you better,
love H x
