Six years ago DH and I decided we were done having children,after the birth of our third child and first son. About two and a half years ago, God began whispering in my ear and boy did I wrestle with Him. I did not want anymore and I knew DH felt the same. After two years, I finally looked into my heart and knew that I really did, I had been fighting the practical side of life. I have known since I was a small child that I wanted many children. I prayed that if He wanted us to have more, He would have to talk to DH. LOL. He did, within a month DH came to me and said we should let God decide this for us. I absolutely expected to get pregnant that first month. With my first three I got pregnant easily each time, I guess I thought I always would. It has been hard to realize that it isn’t in my hands.
I wondered how to get past the disappointment and questioning. We were happy when we didn’t want anymore babies. Why did He bring us to the place of desire only to not bless us?
In his timing, not ours. Nine months later He has finally blessed us.
We are due the week of Thanksgiving! |
