Thank you for this post. If there is o...Dear Robin<br />Thank you for this post. If there is one time in my life I could change it is when I was standing outside that doctors office while Dave had the big V. I was overwhelmed, young (just 27) & had 4 babies very, very quickly. Our pastor had just had one, both our father's had had one & so we thought it was what you just did (in fact I didn't really have any thoughts, Dave made that decision, but I did go along). 4 years later we were in a microsurgeons office getting our mistake reversed. After a further year of tears we were back in that same office to be told that there was blockages & it hadn't worked. To hear that was devestating ~ you cannot imagine how we felt after doing what we felt God was leading us to do to be told that. But you know what ~ even knowing the outcome I would still get the reversal done again if I had the choice. To know we are right in God's will, to know we are doing what is right is definitely worth the $10000 we needed to find (well actually God miraculously found for us). Many people laugh at us & think we are crazy for even wanting more. Many people don't understand the tears & the hurt this journey has been, but we trust that God has a reason for it all. I know I have had my marriage, my faith & even my very being tested through it all, but I also know that we are getting stronger because of this trial. It's not all bad news ~ we are praying & considering a rereversal. Oh & saving. But this time we won't tell anyone if we feel that is God's leading. I often think of the babies that we have missed because of that foolish decision we made. I could well have another 4 by now & it grieves me so much. But God is God & we trust Him. We are sorry, we are forgiven & we do deserve the consequences. Will I carry this sadness & pain for the rest of my life? probably. Will I cry each month knowing God can do miracles and clear blockages ~ I guess I shall see. But all in all we know God is God ( & it's wonderful to have that assurance in that area of our lives)~ not us.<br /> Not sure why I'm sharing, but I've wanted to tell you for a while.<br />Thanks <br />Renata :)Renatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546331512433403550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628621471037646365.post-69426739809799426252012-03-25T21:44:37.437-05:002012-03-25T21:44:37.437-05:00Thank you for pouring your heart out in your blog ...Thank you for pouring your heart out in your blog posts and reminding us of God's goodness manifisted as tiny blessings.Heart of Wisdom Academyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354693058441213261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628621471037646365.post-4814777956743940572012-03-24T13:40:48.665-05:002012-03-24T13:40:48.665-05:00LOVED this!!! You are so right the world does yell...LOVED this!!! You are so right the world does yell at us. After number 3 my husband almost had the big V!!! Something just didn't feel right he did not have peace and at the time I couldn't imagine another difficult pregnancy. We were just talking about this last night with our older 3 and said what would we be like today if there hadn't been a Jacob, Sarah, Samuel, Stephen and our sweet baby Daniel that is also in heaven. It hurts to even imagine and are so thankful to the Lord that we finally started listening to him instead of taking the easy way out. What blessings they are and that is what our family is now full of blessings but always welcoming more. Your words spoke to my heart so well!! Thank you!!! My oldest have always wished we had more between the first 4. if only we had been taught that instead of listening to the way of the world. Blessings to you I love to read your blog!!! I always find encouragement from your words. Missy in TNSammy and Missy Parrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14013731966375293459noreply@blogger.com
