It amazing how God speaks to us!

Well my closer family knows that we are hoping to be adding to our family soon, and the last two months that have past there hasn't been any exciting news. Some of you think. Pssshhh, two months thats not long at all. Yes I agree it isn't that long but when you get pregnant right away the first two times its hard not to think that it will happen like that again, and that these last two months feel WAY longer then just 2 months. But my purpose for this blog post is for 1. for me to just let out my feelings and 2. To share that if you just listen to God you can hear him speaking to you. 

Tonight when the boys were taking a bath I was sitting right out side the bathroom door and looking at all the books on my book shelf. Skimming through the books I have, and I came across "Praying Through You Pregnancy" By Jennifer Polimino and Carolyn Warren. It was a week by week guide I had when I was pregnant with Dominic. I will say for any moms to be or is planning to be having another, I highly recommend  this book! Very awesome book! Helps you to open up to the Lord about your pregnancy and baby. But anyways I could hear God telling me to pick the book up and look through it. I haven't touched this book in a long time! (Obviously, cause Dom is almost 2 lol) but I open the very first chapter and it is titled "God's Timing for you baby". Of course this made me want to read more, cause I know God has a plan for our next baby and knows he or she's birth date. So I read on, and I have thought about this from time to time but it really sunk in, in that moment of reading it. Like God was saying it himself. This is what the women said in her book......

"God's timing is divine. By this, I mean that if our baby's conception had occurred earlier, it would not have been the same Micah (her son) we have now- it would have been somebody different. Another day, another time would have brought a different set of chromosomes together, creating a person with different looks and different personality. It's fascinating and mind boggling when you think about it!" 

I have thought about this before, especially when I look at our boys. I thank God for his timing and for our son's they are true blessings! God reminded me tonight of that exact thing. I can hear him saying "It's all in my timing." Verse Jeremiah 1:5 "I chose you before I formed you in the womb; I set you apart before you were born. I appointed you a prophet to the nations." Another verse Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; think about Him in all your ways, and He will guide you on the right paths.

I know God has a plan for our next and that our time will come but to come across that when it has been heavy on my heart was proof that God wanted me to read that and know that he has a great plan and I need to trust him, be patient and know that my time will come. Thank you Lord for always finding ways to speak to me when I need it! 

I want to share the prayer that the author finished this chapter and it was another prayer that I know God wanted me to hear......

Dear Lord, I believe You have a divine plan for each of our lives. You know the future and You know the child I am going to have, even now, before I am pregnant. Jeremiah 1:5 says, " I chose you before I formed you in the womb." I take this as an encouragement that You see into the future and You know the baby I'm going to have. Lord, I pray for Your plan to come to pass and for Your will to be done, even as Your Word says, "I set you apart before you were born." 

Lord, let me conceive and be blessed with a healthy pregnancy. Hear my prayer just as You heard the prayer of Hannah. I believe You put that account in the Bible for a reason- so that women such as myself would be encouraged to have faith.

If there is anything preventing me from getting pregnant, I ask for Your healing. You know all things and You are still doing miracles today. I let go of stress, anxiety, and worry; and I will meditate on Your promises instead.

I receive Your peace. Philippians 4:7 says, "the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." I thank You for peace.

I choose faith and to trust in You, Lord, for the blessing of pregnancy. I stand on the promise of Your Word. Jesus, you said, "Whatever you ask in My name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it" (John 14:13-14). I claim that promise for my husband and me, and I ask for a child. 

And, Lord, help me be the best mother I can be. Give me the wisdom to raise this child according to Your ways, so that he or she grows to love You and serve You all his or her life.

I thank you now, in advance, for hearing and answering my prayer. I know You have good plans for me and my family. My future and my hope are in You. 

In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
