| ABOUT ME |
Feb. 29, 2008...My testimony:
I met my husband in May 2002, engaged July 2002,
married October 2002. During our dating my husband
was waiting to find out the results of a paternity
test. In December 2002, we found out he was indeed
the father. So I found out I was a stepmom. During
our 5 years of marriage we have faced many
battles. My husband told me he didn't want to have
any other children. Whoa! But I'm very strong in
my faith and I prayed to God. I stayed with my
husband because I KNEW God had brought us together
for a reason and I love him. I never gave up on my
faith or my marriage. I did however feel like
there was NO way my husband would change his mind
about not having kids. He even told me he wouldn't
change. I kept praying.
In March of 2006, God gave me a reason to get off
of birth control (personal issues). I went home
and told my husband that the doctor said that if I
got off birth control it might help. My husband
agreed without any hesitation. I've been off
since. I kept praying.
In September 2007, my husband quit using
protection. I kept praying.
During our 5 years of marriage I've had a really
difficult time talking to my husband about my
desires to be a mom. When I did talk to him, he
wouldn't really budge. But within the last 2 years
I really started seeing a change.
Last month my pastor preached about Trust in God.
I had been trying various ways of getting pregnant
without my husband's consent. When pastor preached
that message I felt very bad. I have totally quit
trying on my own and started praying for God to
change my husband's heart and to do a work in my
life. This month I was late by a week. I thought
it was the time. Well I was worried about my
husband's reaction. God spoke through my pastor to
me on Sunday. God said "do you not KNOW what all I
can do?" WOW! It was so amazing. God is so
faithful. This week my husband and I have had
amazing discussions about us having a baby. God
has TRULY changed my husband and our marriage. If
we trust in God, HE will see us through. Hold onto
your faith and your hope! Be patient and wait upon
God.
I may not get pregnant this year. But my husband
said that maybe we can think about it in a couple
of years. But you know, it's not our timing it's
God's. So I will wait and see. But just knowing
that my husband is being worked on by God is
amazing. God has truly changed him. He's no longer
saying "no, never". He's saying "let's see what
happens."
Thanks for reading my testimony. If you want to
know something more about me, just ask. I love
friendship!
"I know the plans I have for you, declares the
Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah
29:11
UPDATE 4-28-08: We had a wonderful outpouring of
God's mercy at yesterday's service at church. God
is definately working on something for me. I was
standing praying for a friend of mine when all of
a sudden I felt this hand on my belly and a woman
speaking in tongues as she prayed for me. I felt
so much peace from God while she was doing this. I
just smiled, cried, and thanked Him for what He is
doing.
*** UPDATE *** 1-13-09: I AM PREGNANT!!!!! Praise
God. It is only because of Him that I now can say
that. For many months I have not been on this
site. Back in June 2008 I went on a girls trip and
really found myself hearing God speak to me about
what I needed to do next on my journey. I felt
like he was telling me to just 100% give this to
Him. No more tracking ovulations, no more tracking
cycle days, no more tracking days we had sex. I
had been saying I was trusting Him but I think he
wanted me to completely let it go. So that's what
I did. I kept praying and waiting. And on January
10, 2009 I took my first pregnancy test since
February 2008 and I got the most awesome BFP!!!!
Thank you God. You are so awesome to me. So
ladies, not everyone has the same TTC experience
but I do know I serve an awesome God and if you
hold on to your hope and keep praying and trusting
God ANYTHING is possible with Him. **** UPDATE
2-2-09 **** God decided He wanted to take my baby
instead. I am coping and still trusting God. I
believe in Him and know that He is doing the right
thing. I may not understand it or like it but i
trust Him and still love Him. And I'm still
holding on to my hope for a future baby.
