F.A.I.T.H. (Forsaking all, I trust Him)

[somedaymama]

Isi, it's really neat that your friend prayed for you to have a baby...I hope it happens SOON!

Rdy2, a free washer and dryer is awesome! It's so nice that you want to give them something to thank them...I think your idea is great, I'm guessing anything you give them will be more than they expected.

 

[Guppy051708]

Can I get y'alls opinion on something? A couple at my church gave us a washer and dryer for free because they are remodeling and getting new ones, so what should I include in their thank-you card?? I was thinking a gift card to a restaurant and 2 movie tickets?? What do y'all think??
v

I think that is a lovely idea and a perfect gift
And I agree with someday
Sorry the clomid was mean to you, but I'm happy you're feeling better


Well, parsing God again ladies! Went to see the MW today and Isaiah is head down was so worried he would end up being breech. Of course he could flip back again but I'm believing God will keep him head down

Please pray that I don't have Pre eclampsia. my BP was slightly elevated today (130/80). But that is the first and only elevated BP I have had this pregnancy. Though the 3rd tri is when pre-e develops.MW and think it'd just a fluke, as it's not really that high at all and I have no other symptoms. I'm pretty sure it's a fluke but she wants me to come back in on Friday for a BP recheck. Please pray it's nothing

Well ladies I had to cave lastnight and do my advair my chest felt so tight and it seemed the only way I could breath comfortably is by coughing. So after a long talk with hubby he and I have decided to stay on the advair and leave it all to God's will.

cornbread glad to hear muffin is great and your hubby is taken care of too

rdy2b what a blessing - anything you feel on your heart to give is great and they will be pleased

guppy there is nothing wrong with believing about tithing and natural birth if we don't believe it than how can we expect to receive it. You sound like everything will be just fine God is in control. Praying for you and Isaiah

Hope everyone is having a blessed day!!!

Hi all,

I hope everyone is doing ok - I love reading all your posts about how God is working in your lives

I have had a great day, for no other reason than I asked God for one - I normally hate Mondays as they are so busy at work, and to top it off I have a nasty cold, but I spent time reading the bible last night (jeremiah 29:11 - love it!) and spent time in prayer, and God has really lightened my mood and made me feel really positive about things. I love how He does that!

I have also realised that AF is due on my birthday this month - 13th July, so I'm really praying for the best pressie EVER!!!!

Sending lots of blessings out across cyberspace to you all

 

[mrskcbrown]

@Isi: That is awesome. You will get your baby soon.

@Guppy: Everything is going to be fine. Keep praying!

@RDY: That was an awesome gift. Your gift sounds nice.

@willbe: Yes do what you have to stay healthy. God will bless you!

Hope everyone is doing well. Me, Im just so tired and ready for this scan on weds. I cant wait to hear the heartbeat.

 

[somedaymama]

yay for your scan on Wednesday! At ours, we didn't actually hear the heartbeat, but seeing the flicker on the screen was the most amazing thing!

Ill be ever so grateful to see a flicker, LOL.

 

[somedaymama]

Yeah, I've never felt so happy in my life. I was right about the same place as you--I think I was 6 weeks 4 days when I had my first scan--so it was just a little blob that didn't look like much, but the heartbeat was very clear.

Me too! I was more than thrilled to witness that sight!

Thanks fir the encouraging words ladies

 

[willbamom1day]

Good morning

I need some help and prayer from you ladies as I get so nervous to make love to hubby and I hate it. I feel like I take control from God by not doing it and being so worried something will happen. Any encouraging words?

LaraJJ He says "ask and you shall receive". Glad you had such a blessed day

mrskc tomorrow is the big day I am so excited for you

someday I bet when you seen that blob it was the prettiest thing in the world

Guppy, rdy2b, Isi, Cornbread, Never and everyone else may God bless you all

Hubby and I were watching TD Jakes and he was saying how God doesn't get the glory from the things that don't happen God gets the glory for the things that do happen and it made me think of all of you whether ttc or pregnant so keep that in mind.

Even on a work day be sure to enjoy your blessings - God
Thou hast prepared the light and the sun Psalms 74:16

willb, sorry you're feeling scared. I don't really have any advice for you, unfortunately. After I got my BFP, we didn't BD until I was about 8 weeks or so because I was so scared. When my anovulatory cycles got really long, bd'ing would bring on AF, so I was - somewhat irrationally - afraid that would happen even though I was pregnant. Anyway, I understand and I will pray for you!

you make me feel better and am glad I am not the only one

this was in my email and thought I would share

After living what I felt was a 'decent' life, my time on earth came to the end..

The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting room of what I thought to be a court house..

The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat by the defense table.

As I looked around I saw the 'prosecutor.'

He was a villainous looking gent who snarled as he stared at me. He definitely was the most evil person I have ever seen.

I sat down and looked to my left and there sat My Attorney, kind and gentle looking man whose appearance seemed so familiar to me, I felt I knew Him.

The corner door flew open and there appeared the Judge in full flowing robes.

He commanded an awesome presence as He moved across the room I couldn't take my eyes off of Him.

As He took His seat behind the bench, He said, 'Let us begin.'

The prosecutor rose and said,

'My name is Satan and I am here to show you why this woman belongs in hell.'

He proceeded to tell of lies that I told, things that I stole, and In the past when I cheated others Satan told of other horrible Perversions that were once in my life and the more he spoke, the further down in my seat I sank.

I was so embarrassed that I couldn't look at anyone, even my own Attorney, as the Devil told of sins that even I had completely forgotten about.

As upset as I was at Satan for telling all these things about me, I was equally upset at My Attorney who sat there silently not Offering any form of defense at all.

I know I had been guilty of those things, but I had done some good in my life - couldn't that at least equal out part of the harm I'd done?

Satan finished with a fury and said, 'This woman belongs in hell, she is guilty of all that I have charged and there is not a person who can prove otherwise.'

When it was His turn, My Attorney first asked if He might approach the bench. The Judge allowed this over the strong objection of Satan, and beckoned Him to come forward.

As He got up and started walking, I was able to see Him in His full splendor and majesty.

I realized why He seemed so familiar; this was Jesus
representing me, my Lord and my Savior.
He stopped at the bench and softly said to the Judge, 'Hi, Dad,' and then He turned to address the court.

'Satan was correct in saying that this woman had sinned, I won't deny any of these allegations. And, yes, the wage of sin is death, and this woman deserves to be punished..'

Jesus took a deep breath and turned to His Father with outstretched arms and proclaimed, 'However, I died on the cross so that this person might have eternal life and she has accepted Me as her
Savior, so she is Mine.'

My Lord continued with, 'Her name is written in the Book of Life, and no one can snatch her from Me..

Satan still does not understand yet. This woman is not to be given justice, but rather mercy.'

As Jesus sat down,

He quietly paused, looked at His Father and said,
'There is nothing else that needs to be done.'

'I've done it all.'

The Judge lifted His mighty hand and slammed the gavel down. The following words bellowed from His lips..

'This woman is free..'

The penalty for her has already been paid in full.

'Case dismissed.'

As my Lord led me away, I could hear Satan ranting and raving, 'I won't give up, I will win the next one.' I asked Jesus as He gave me my instructions where to go next, 'Have you ever lost a case?'

Christ lovingly smiled and said,

'Everyone that has come to Me and asked Me to represent them has received the same verdict as you,

~Paid In Full~

@willbeamom: Initially I wasnt afraid to BD with DH when I got my BFP, but one time we BD and I had pinkish spotting and that really scared me. It lasted a day. Then we resumed Bding and nothing. Then just recently, we BD and the next day I had brown discharge. I didnt tell DH though, but called DR and she said it was fine, its probably the placenta forming. Even though, the DR said this I was nervous. So I would put DH off, but then the other night, I broke down and cried and told DH I was nervous. He understood and told me, why didnt I just talk to to him and tell him instead of avoiding it.
Then he proceeded to tell me that God didnt give us this gift to take it away. He said we trusted Him to give it, now we have to trust him to bring it to pass. He says, dont worry, whatever happens is in God's hand, but he knows everything will be ok.

So I said all of that to say, share with DH how you are feeling and to be easy because you are nervous. All will be well.

Help, not baby related:
Anyone use the "envelope system" in doing your finances? If so how is it working for you? Anyone do Dave Ramsey's financial peace classes? I have done them before but was unable to finish. Just looking for some testimonies.

 

[Guppy051708]

@ willb- Its completly up to you when you feel ready to make love. The DH and I didn't for a good month or so after our simply because we did it so much to get the bean and we were bored with it! TBH though, we both were initially a little fearful as we had miscarried before this pregnancy and i had IB this pregnancy. Got checked out by the doc, and with my MC history they did a very early ultra-sound. There was a heartbeat. The general rule of thumb (what they told me) if you have bleeding, wait 1-2 weeks before having sex again. (but that was just in my case). But many preggo woman get a little bleeding like Mrskcbrown was talking about for the reasons she stated and because the vagina is a little more sensitive. They actually teach woman that a little spotting can be normal after sex.

Also, just wanted to let you know, that once you have seen the heartbeat of your LO, you have less than a 10% chance of miscarrying. So the fact that youve seen the heart flicking is a VERY good sign your pregnancy will go full term. Sex will NOT cause a miscarriage. That was a tough lesson learned for me, but it is true. Just trust in the Lord, but dont do anything until your comfortable. Im sure you would be fine to go at it though

@mrskc- i've never heard of that before, off to google.

@ everyone else- have a blessed day! it sure is hot here! Can't imagin what its like in the south!

you made me

your hubby is so right in what he said and I tell myself pretty much those same words. It's like I give my concerns to God but somehow manage to take them right back instead of leaving them in capable hands

thank you

I told hubby at lunchtime that I felt we needed to make love as celebration of sorts but I am scared and he said he is ready when I am. We looked up on a couple of sites that said go for it and I think I am

Thank you for all the advice
