		<description>Hi again, I am the first person that posted a comment back last Nov. I am so happy to report, I am holding my son that I was 8 wks pregnant with back then.(after 3 m/c and 1 0yrs from first trying to start a family) We named him Josiah, one of the meanings is Jehovah has healed, which is why we gave him that name.

I am not going to lie, it was hard mentally all the way till the day I delivered. God gave me this verse about half way through..

Forget about what has happened before, do not think about the past, instead look at the new thing I am going to do. Isaiah 43:18-19

and a new thing He indeed did do!

To all the women that have experience m/c and still waiting for your miracle, please keep trusting God. He has a plan and He often works on a different time table then us.

		<description>Hi, Lisa ~ 

You should write your story! I would like to be able to read it.  The pain is sometimes so intense though that it feels as if it will literally break my heart, when I wrote it. I remember that pain very vividly. But at some level it is a relief to get all of those feelings out onto paper. But very painful. And there is hope. There is. If there wasn&#039;t, then all of the talk of God would be pointless. There is hope because there is God. The God of heaven who cares for us even in the midst of this sin-cursed world that affects all of us, and for us as women it affects our bodies. I hate it. I wish it was not so. But it is. I&#039;m sorry. Praying that God will give you continual strength as you go through this journey. Ours has reached some resolution as we have been given a beautiful baby girl. :) But that doesn&#039;t mean that we are through all of the struggle. There could be more issues in the future, but we don&#039;t know. God is still God and He is still in control. in Him ~ Linnea</description>

		<description>Wow, thank you so much for sharing your story. I had a miscarriage, too, and it&#039;s so nice to have a Christian woman&#039;s perspective. I read a lot about miscarriages after it happened, and so many people say &quot;well, it was just meant to be.&quot; Or, &quot;it was God&#039;s will.&quot; But I don&#039;t believe that it was or ever is God&#039;s will for anyone to have to die, including babies. Before sin happened, death was not part of the plan. I strongly believe, though, that God knows what will happen to each of us and that His plan is far better than our own plans. If we follow him and trust Him with our lives, we will be richly blessed. But we will also have pain and hardship, and that&#039;s the beauty of faith. We choose to love and trust God even when we don&#039;t like what&#039;s happening to us.</description>

		<description>Hi Linnea,
If i were to write my story it would look so simular to yours. So much so! Tears came down my face at such a rate I couldnt see through them to read and had to take a break and come back. THANK YOU so much for sharing and for giving me some hope today as I struggle to finsh my story. I stopped writting after my surgery to unblock my fallopian tubes in Dec. 2009 and wanted to complete it after I was holding my mirical baby, (that hasnt happened and instead I learned that I actually only have one &quot;working&quot; tube.) My husband and I have been trying for 8 years and suffered one lost in 2004.
My desire of a mirical story is just that, my desire. God may have a story of STRENGHT and Endurance for me that I&#039;ve been running from! You have written in your pain and that encourges me in a huge way! I praise our Father for you and how you allowed Him to use you to write this story. WOW.
So on your Dec. post you stated that God had allowed you to become pregnant again, are you still there?</description>

		<description>Dear Frances,

Thanks for responding again and sharing where you are at with the whole subject of infertility and children. :) I read through the verse you were mentioning (Ps.113:9) and agree that it definetly could be seen as stating that God will give the barren woman children. And I agree that God does give us what we ask for and we do need to have faith that He can and will do it, if it is in His will. God does and has given many barren women children, but He also has with held them from many as well. But I hope and pray that someday in the near future that does become a reality for you as you seem to desire them greatly! :) 
And I will also pray that as you wait patiently for this gift from God that you continue to desire God above all else.  That&#039;s the hardest part of this whole journey, to worship and desire God and to be content in the middle of not knowing whether or not we are to be blessed with kids. Let me know how things go as I would love to know!</description>

		<description>I am writing to correct my statement written on the 30th of March, 2010 that I was waiting for God to bless us with children and it has come to my knowledge through the word of God in Psalms 113:9 (Goodnews bible) that God has honored me and given me children. If He has given me, then its up to me to either recieve it or reject it. Therefore I boldly confess in accordance with Mark 11:24 that because I have asked for children, I believe that I have recieved children and I thank God that I am pregnant NOW with children. I said Now because I realized from Jesus ministry on earth that He never told anyone who came to Him for healing or deliverance that they should wait for God&#039;s time but they were healed immediately they exercise their faith in God, the day we reach out to God in faith depends on us and not God. For God has already given us all things(whatever we may need) in Christ Jesus, no wonder psalm 16:6 said that we have a good inheritance. All we have to do is  walk by faith in love, for faith works by love and our confessions MUST be in line with our faith. Satan has been decieving us for so long, no more of it devil! We know who we are, what we have and what we can do. Thank you Father for opening my eyes to see this. Praise God!  Alleluya!!!</description>

		<description>Dear Lin,

The questions never go away. :) Sadly. I think in fact that it is merely the focus that changes. I still don&#039;t know why God allowed us to have two miscarriages. I wish I did. I grieve to this day, three years later, for the first child and two years for the second. and I remember vividly the days when I wondered often whether or not God would ever put a child to keep into our arms. It becomes a new normal, something that I never wanted but something that God has allowed into my life. And as you say, we don&#039;t know the results, but hopefully we learn to embrace whatever He has for us. Because the bitterness, resentment, anger, frustration, fears, etc...that can quickly overwhelm us are just that overwhelming. They don&#039;t do any good in the long run and they make us miserable and in fact can do the same to everyone around us. Its hard work, this particular part of life. 
Thankfully we don&#039;t have to go it alone. God has promised to never leave us nor forsake us and for that I am grateful.</description>

		<description>Dear Frances, 

Thanks for commenting! Yes, it is a long hard road, waiting for the blessing of God. Something that I&#039;ve learned over and over again is that God is in charge of the timing. No matter how many times or things that we tried, until He wanted it to happen, nothing happened. Its so frustrating as a human, as we want to be in charge and in control, but although God does allow us to have involvement in the process, the results are really all up to Him. Praying for you as you wait.</description>
