He is faithful...

Well - once again I have been blown away and humbled by God's faithfulnesss. After two long years of trying to conceive, we are pregnant! What an awesome blessing! Having chemotherapy a few years ago, put a bit of a proverbial 'spanner' in the works for us, but we have received so many prophecies and encouragement over the years, that for us it was just a matter of 'when', not 'if'. However, I also understand the tremendous dissapointment that comes when every month comes and goes and there is still no baby... It is truly a very difficult thing to endure. God also gave me a burden years ago to pray for certain couples who were experiencing trouble conceiving. He was faithful with every one and it was the most awesome experience to hold my niece in my arms for the first time, after she was prayed for and believed for, for 5 years! God showed me that He wanted me to be a spiritual midwife to these women - literally 'praying' their babies into the world. I must confess that at times it was hard to pray for others while my arms remained empty. I now believe that there is a special blessing that comes when one is prepared to set aside your own dreams in order to pray for those of others - and I believe that is why I was privileged to see so many of these 'baby requests' answered! But - as promised in a prohecy to us - I believe it is now time for 'our household' to be given to us!
What a blessing! We are so excited and just sit grinning at each other at times!

I want to encourage you today to hang on - don't give up! If God has promised you something - whether to you personally or as a promise in His word - stand on it! Believe as if it has happened! Claim it for yourself and thank Him for it!

He is faithful...

It's been a while, but I'm back...

What can I say about the past few months? It's been difficult? Crazy? Hell? Ok - now we're getting closer... It has been the most unreal, sad, frustrating and at times heartbreakingly difficult time of my life.
But, I'm stil standing. I'm still here and God is still there and at the end of the day there is so much to be greatful for.
I think for a time, I was trying so hard to get through this tragedy in one successful, smiling and halleluyaing piece, that I completely forgot to be real and admit that the whole thing hurt and ripped me to shreds. But God has a way of getting the message through :0) and I am trying so very hard to be real!
So - here's to more blogging and sharing and learning!
Thanks for all the prayers and the love!
