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

[Guppy051708]

aw, thanks Groovy! But tbh, its the grace of God-not myself

rosa, I am becoming a child birth educator through Brio Birth and the training is in D.C. then the second week of march i'll be taking a training on becoming a DONA birth Doula. I am so excited!!!! (not so excited about it being on credit, but this is what the Lord has called me to!]

 

[Guppy051708]

oh yeah I just wanted to thank all you lovely ladies again for praying that i would get through my birth drug and intervention free! Not only did i survive 30 hours of labor (about 99% of it being back labor) but i also just found out Isaiah was posterior! What they call "sunny side up"! No wonder i had so much back labor and it took me 6 hours to push him out! but seriously, thanks ladies!!!

Groovygrl, congratulations!! Praying for a healthy, happy pregnancy for you!!

babyhopes, I'm so sorry for your loss. Like many other ladies, here, I have been there. It's a devastating time. Praying for you.

Guppy, my sister's first baby was posterior, and she had an epidural...from what I understand, the epidural made it worse/harder to push out the sunny side up baby. So it's good you stuck with no drugs! She went unmedicated for her next baby as a result.

So sorry babyhopes.

I am REALLY glad they didn't tell me at the time because i probably would have given up! lol ....yeah, i mean, obviously giving birth without all of that stuff is *probably* best (granted there are situations where it truly is needed) but i think im just selfish haha bc i was SO scared of all the intervention. Its like a snow ball effect, once you get one your at a great risk for getting more. I knew God commanded that I do this drug free...guess He knew something i didn't! lol Needless to say I am glad that i listened to Him!

[fides]

ooh, i'd love to join all you beautiful women of faith!

let's see - we've been married since Oct 2009, and we got pregnant on our 13th try, then lost the baby at the end of 13 weeks in Oct, 2010. Just starting my 4th post-miscarriage cycle now, and i stumbled upon this wonderful forum!

I have no idea what God is trying to teach us, but my wonderful husband keeps telling me to trust in God. Jesus, I trust in you.

 

[Guppy051708]

:wave:- hi fides! So glad you are here.
You have overcome so much! But isn't God great!

 

[fides]

Yes, God is great!!

 

[Deb111]

Welcome Fides. So sorry to hear of your loss. I'm know you will find lots of support here x

Well, no good news here. AF showed up this morning, waking me with horrendous cramps. No IUI for us again for a little while at least. While bawling and praying to my heavenly father, I kept hearing "2 years." So, I interpret that to mean He wants us to be patient.... for 2 years of trying really God?? I know He knows best, so I am grateful for some kind of answer to all my prayers. I haven't told my DH yet as I feel as though God has some things He wants to work in him, and if I let him know it's going to take us at least 2 years, he may not continue to seek Him as fervently. Afterall, our 2 year mark is just a few months away anyways

Sorry to hear about the MC babyhopes I'll be praying for you!

Congrats groovy!!! Praying for a H&H 9 mos for you!

Welcome to the new ladies and I hope everyone has a great weekend, I have to work no fun for me!! Blessings on you all!

 

[Dahlia]

praying for you babyhopes - I can't imagine going through something like that. may God give you peace and comfort.

Congrats - Groovy! praying that this baby stays for a healthy 9 months - can't wait for you to meet him.

Rdy - ugh. I feel your pain in the timeline girl. I haven't felt your pain in the IUI area (yet) - and I'm so sorry it didn't work for you, girl. We are praying about IVF ourselves - still not sure on IVF or adoption but we will see where God leads us. Anyway, he has a plan for us - we just have to seek and be patient. That's so awesome that you got such a clear word from him. I will rejoice with you on that long awaited bfp. oh girl - we will rejoice.

I'm so sorry to hear that AF showed up Rdy2BaMom. I know exactly how you feel. We've been trying for almost 7 years now. I've had alot of tears and alot of questions and have been very down so so many times but I know that God is listening and I will not lose hope and I know God is listening to you and your hubby's prayers as well. We will never understand why we have to wait but God knows and there's always a reason. I'm thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers. IT WILL HAPPEN FOR YOU I KNOW IT.

Congrats on all the bfp and very sorry to hear about your MC babyhopes

You can have my heart
Though it isn't new
It's been used and broken
And only comes in blue
It's been down a long road
And it got dirty on the way
If I give it to you will you make it clean
And wash the shame away

You can have my heart
If you don't mind broken things
You can have my life if you don't mind these tears
Well I heard that you make old things new
So I give these pieces all to you
If you want it you can have my heart

So beyond repair
Nothing I could do
I tried to fix it myself
But it was only worse when I got through
Then you walked into my darkness
And you speak words so sweet
And you hold me like a child
Till my frozen tears fall at your feet

Hello ladies,

I hope you don't mind me posting again, some of you may remember me as I have posted here before - have been a bit of a lurker recently though


Rdy - I'm really sorry your IUI didn't work out, AF is horrible anyway - I expect even more so after IUI I was really interested to read what you said about God giving you a timeframe when you prayed. I think I have experienced a similar thing:

DH and I just have a really good feeling about this month, not sure I wanna write it down cos don't wanna jinx it!!! But back when I was really struggling with TTC I think I actually got quite depressed, I just cried out and really prayed for my child, and I just heard 'February' in my head - and have done for months now (I've not even told DH about this!!!!) so feels like God has been reassuring me. But now that February is nearly here I'm scared that it has just been my mind playing tricks with me. Everything seems to have fallen into place this cycle - first ever + OPK, scans that show I am in good working order, and I just seem to be in a really good place in life - very positive and upbeat. DH said he also feels good about this month and has been very excitable, and we have worked out that if we have caught the eggy, I will be due on our 3 year wedding anniversary.

I don't know, just really praying that we're not setting ourselves up for a fall :-S

I didn't think that God really ever worked in timeframes, which is why I have been confused as to whether or not this is from Him. I am in a much better place now, and really feel that God has upheld me and strengthened me exactly when I needed it.

The passage that spoke to me the most is James 1:

"Dear brothers and sisters, whenever trouble comes your way, let it be an opportunity for joy. For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be strong in character and ready for anything.

If you need wisdom - if you want to know what God wants you to do - ask him, and he will gladly tell you. He will not resent your asking. But when you ask him, be sure that you really expect him to answer, for a doubtful mind is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.......

God blesses the people who patiently endure testing. Afterward theay will recieve the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him."


Wow - as I was typing that out, I had a real sense of God's presence with me - completely overwhelming me with His peace and mercy. What an awesome God we serve


Sending this message with lots of love and blessings across the web to you special ladies

Xxx

@RDY: Im so sorry to hear this. I know its hard. I will keep you and babyhopes in my prayers. TTC is so difficult and I feel like a hypocrite even saying anything now because I am pregnant. I just want you to know that God loves you and so do I.
