OT: Way off Topic, but feel lead to ask
Posted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 2:40 pm
Hi Ladies,
Just now I was lead by the Lord to ask for prayer from a group of ladies who love the Lord, and who have been so kind and loving towards me.
Just to let you all in on a bit of our personal life, as you all probably know, we lost our oldest son a year ago in a tragic accident. I remember on the way home from the accident (after leaving the hospital) Evan saying (he was only 4.5 at the time): Mommy and Daddy, I am praying for a baby brother or sister. That moment will forever be etched in our minds.
After much prayer, my husband decided that he would go through with the surgery for a vasectomy reversal. You see, selfishly after Evan was born, I was DONE and wanted nothing to do with having more children. I told my husband to get the vasectomy, and to do it fast! But over the years the Lord softened my heart, and I wanted more, but my husband refused...until Ethan passed away. So dear hubby had surgery back in November. We were blessed that we were on the list for only 2 weeks, and the surgery was free through the military!!!
We do not know how successful the surgery was, but we can only pray that the Lord's will be done. My prayer is that you would pray for God's will. We want more children for us, but more than anything, we want Evan to have more siblings. He is so lonely. It breaks my heart.
If you feel lead to do so, would you pray for us? My impatience is hard...as I would love to be pregnant already. But I know in reality it's in His timing, not ours.
God bless you all...

Our 3rd bio child was born with spina bifida and serious intestinal issues. There were many surgeries and hospital visits. I was worn physically and mentally. I decided to have a tubal when she was 2 years old. It wasn't until she was around 9-10 years old that I really started regretting what I did. I asked the Lord's forgiveness for taking things into my own hands. To make a long story short, the Lord worked it out for me to have a reversal at 40 years old. It was successful. I thought for sure I was going to conceive. I was so anxious and would get so disappointed when it didn't happen. Well, it didn't happen after 2-3 years, even after praying and crying out to God for another baby. We started looking into adoption. We did our training, and within 7 months we were chosen to be the adoptive parents of a two year old girl, our dd who is now 8. I can't tell you the joy she has brought to our family. She wouldn't be with us if we would have had our own. So, I believe God will hear your prayer, one way or another. Don't be anxious like I was. Give it to the Lord and let Him work it out in His time.
