Prayers up for you and yours.
Matt 18:20
Prayers for you and your enitre family.
Praying for you and your little one.
For many years, we were trying to become pregnant. After two successful pregnancies, my OB was not optomistic about our ability to have any more children. We discussed options, in case we wanted to prevent any future pregnancies, given my health considerations.
Unfortunately for me, I have a severe allergic reaction to any spermicides, so that prevents the use of condoms, jells, creams, etc. Historically low blood pressure made birth-control pills a bad idea. A diaphragm would not work well with my endometriosis. And since we were absorbing and paying thousands of dollars in medical bills, we simply didn't have the resources two years ago to have my husband undergo a vasectomy.
Thankfully, our financial situation is much brighter now; we've paid down a huge hunk of the debt. Hubby was going to go for the vasectomy when, surprise, the Lord blessed us again! I'm frightened, but excited. Who knows what greatness this child might achieve? Who knows what comfort they may bring me? Who knows how loving or confrontational they may be, what trials and tests they will put me through? I pray I will be here for all of it, every wonderful, maddening moment of it.
And so we are accepting His wisdom, embracing His will. In the end, I want to know I did what God wants, what He has asked of me.
Should this little one make it, I will probably ask to have my tubes tied during the c-section. I will need to consult with my Priest, first, though, and do some heavy praying, before making this decision. I don't want to leave my babies and beloved husband behind, either, believe me, but I also want to go to my Creator knowing I served His will faithfully.
We come before You, honoring You, the Lord God Almighty, the very Creator of life. You have known this wee one from the very first. We seek Your protection and loving care over this, one of Your newest children. We pray for health for the loving mother, willing to sacrifice so much. Bless her with peace and a calm spirit. Guide her physicians that they may know how best to care for both mother and babe. Watch over the father and other children, keeping them under the shadow of Your wing. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
That would probably be a good idea regardless of what any priest might say. It is your life at risk not his.
As one that has been through it and fortunate enough that both mother and baby survived, but the doctor thought it best not to tempt fate. We accepted our gift from God and chose to not press our luck. We felt it would be very selfish to try for more nad leave the children motherless.
You are all in my prayers. May God bless you all.
prayer bump
You can never overuse our prayer ping list, imo.
Prayers lifted....
Thank you.
NO, you did NOT lose your little one. God ALWAYS knew where he was. We ALL have our days 'numbered'....born or UNborn.
Your newest baby-to-be, has MANY Scriptures that you can wrap him in, that you can INSIST upon. Scriptures that God gave to YOU, to meditate upon. Scriptures that YOUR Daddy gave you, that are His Promises to YOU.
DON'T listen to 'issues'. Don't listen to what's happened in the past. Don't listen to what *you* can/must do. REALLY SCARY OF ALL.... don't listen to what the world/doctors/friends/family tells you.
You FIND that Scripture that the Spirit points out to you...you meditate(think, think, think) on it....and if anything/anyone goes against that Scripture, you REBUKE it. ( I'll tell ya, it's NOT easy, people will think you've 'gone over the edge')
The Scriptures are 'love notes' from your Daddy, He's telling you WHAT to believe, WHAT to expect from Him, WHAT to 'DEMAND' of Him............A Promise is a Promise is a Promise. HE NEVER CHANGES.
BUMPING your post!!!!!!!
