New Urgent Prayer Request!

Okay, I know I have not had time to create a real post and I promise that I will soon, however I have a huge favor! I have been taking ovulation predictors and they test for a hormone surge called "lh" and I have gotten my first positive test result. Please pray that if we are in God's will that I will conceive this month and will soon be carrying a healthy baby. This feels like a humongous first step toward having a baby and I am so excited...however I know that after no pregnancy in the last 8+ years there is a possibility it still won't happen. I have been learning so much lately about myself and my loving God and I believe He both knows the desires of my heart and also that He wants me to have them. That being said, I have felt lately that there is something He wants me to learn first...please pray that I will learn whatever He is trying to teach me. My God is good (ALL the time) and He is Sovereign - I cannot BEGIN to know what He knows...but sometimes the road is difficult to walk and I really need prayers that I am on the right road. The road where God wants me to be.

I thank you all beyond words for your prayers for my family, my sanity :o), my dog, my friends and our finances...I am genuine when I say that if you will post a prayer request on your own blog or if you leave one in my comments I WILL lift you up in your times of need as well.

Be blessed and be well!

I will pray! And you never know, you MIGHT get pregnant after 8 years! If your desire is to glorify God in all you do, He will give you the desires of your heart just like He promised. :)

Misty - I am so excited for you. I have been lifting you up daily and I just know that God is hearing our prayers. When you get that positive result you let me know so I can post a Praise Report!

In Him,
Beth

I will be in prayer Misty. I truly believe the verse that says when we delight in the Lord he will give us the desires of our heart.
My sister had a daughter and they said she probably wouldn't ever have any more kids. I told her she'd probably get pregnant at 40. Well.....when that daughter was grown she had two more little girls.
I'll be so anxious to hear how things go.
I'd appreciate prayer for the unspoken request I mentioned on my recent post.
Thank you!
Love,
Valerie

On the Brink of More Change...

I can feel it. I am on the cusp of something new. Something different. Something beautiful. I still have no idea what God might be up to - and I am truly okay with that at the moment. I have completed another round of Freedom in Christ. God spoke to me in so many ways...and He continues to do so. I feel so very valued and treasured by my Father. I am in relationship with Him in ways that I always wanted - yet never really felt were achievable. As I have put forth the effort to come to Him more consistently and with a growing desire to go deeper, He has been unendingly gracious and faithful. So as I fall on my face, He gently leans in and scoops me up. The panic and anxiety that once ruled my life are far less, and the calm amidst the  chaos has grown exponentially. I know where to go when it begins to grow again...and it does. Sometimes. Yet God is always ready when I call on Him...and that in and of itself are a learning curve for me. I've learned that others are not constant. Sh...

I Have Returned to the Land of the Living...

I promise that I'm around and making it here! It's been pretty crazy what with starting school and becoming a leader in our homeschool support group. (In my defense, I didn't realize that was what I was doing. I thought I was going to coordinate the holiday parties...turns out when you only have one active officer, said officer reserves the right to make you a leader in that group. Hmm. The things you learn. :) School is going okay...or should I be more specific? Social studies, Language Arts and Science are going okay...mathematics? Not so great. We have determined that Hooked on Math is NOT a good match for my child. He gets SO frustrated he winds up in tears within seconds of the MENTION of "Hooked on Math". (While I must admit that a portion of this is due to his processing issues and I want him to learn to be more flexible, I NEVER want him to be THIS stressed out. Therefore we are searching for a new math program/curriculum. I am very interested in Math-U-Se...

Keeping My Eyes Fixed In the Storms of Life

On September 20th, my father-in-law collapsed at home. My mother-in-law called 9-1-1 and emergency crews arrived within a few minutes. During that time, he stopped breathing and had no heartbeat. Emergency crews were able to revive him, and he was transported to a local heart hospital. The next two weeks were nothing short of torturous. In order to stop potential brain damage, he underwent a procedure that chilled his core body temperature almost 10 degrees and then after 24 hours, warmed him to normal body temp. Doctors were unsure if he would awake. However, after 12 days on the ventilator, when it was removed, it was like someone flipped a switch. He simply woke up. Even the doctors were amazed. Still groggy from the medications used during that time, he remembers nothing from that time, until about 5 days later, shortly before he had his pacemaker installed. Twenty-two days after his "cardiac event", he was released from the hospital. Still quite weak, he continues to g...
