giving God the glory

It was just this morning that the Lord reminded me of something.  Last February, several of my dear friends decided to give me a birthday tea, partly to make up for the baby shower that I never had.  It was a beautiful afternoon full of great food & wonderful words of affirmation, which made for a memorable birthday.  It was then that I asked them to pray and believe with me for healing.  Just that week, the Lord had shown me that although I gave Him the glory for the miracle of Savannah, I wasn’t believing for healing in my body.  I was having a hard time believing that I would conceive again, and I especially didn’t think that it would happen naturally.  As I shared this with my friends, behind the tears, I was really confessing that I had limited God, and I didn’t want to limit Him anymore.  Together we prayed for complete healing, claiming that I would bear more children.  It was the next month that we got pregnant on our own, and although that pregnancy didn’t make it, God was reminding me that He is faithful to His promises.

A good friend of mine, Jessica, who has also shared the journey of infertility, ended her  journey last night.  Caroline Hope is finally here! What an incredible testimony of God’s faithfulness!  I rejoice with my friends as they get to experience a promise fulfilled!

I have several friends/acquaintances that are believing for a baby, and I contend with them for the little lives that are going to be.  If you are on this journey of infertility, I pray that you read this post and are reminded of the hope that we can find in our Lord and Savior.  Do not give up!  Your child is coming!

Thank You Lord for the miracle of life! Thank you for bringing baby Hope into this world safely and we give you the glory for her life!  I ask that you give life to those who are believing for their little miracle.  I believe that I am healed, and I give you the glory for healing and the miracles that come with it.

It’s not over ’til it’s over!

Last night we had our Nashville pastor and his family over for dinner. They prayed over us and the overwhelming sense in the room is “this isn’t over until it’s over”. God still has every capability to perform a miracle. Although I have accepted the possibility that God may choose a different path, I am believing and asking God to perform a miracle for ‘this’ baby. I’m not going to give up on my child-no matter what the doctor says.

So today I feel hopeful. I’m still pregnant. If it weren’t for the ultrasound and blood test I would be happily pregnant not knowing anything is possibly wrong. But I do know, and that is no reason to ignore the report, but it is reason to stand in faith and believe for a miracle. My life is a living testimony of God’s faithfulness and I know that this entire process is a way that I can give Him all the glory. I’m thankful for the trial, knowing that the promise is still true, and the blessing is still coming.
