This is just crazy. I guess the only logical place to start is at the begining. Back before December my best friend and I and our husbands all agreed we were so done with kids. We didnt want any more. We couldn't have any more. Our patience and time and we didnt want to put our kids through beinging in another kid. Not to mention we don't have enough money to support another kid and possible activities.
In January , the first time I saw baby Micah my heart changed so fast I was afraid it was going to fly out. Even still I didnt want another but it was okay. Almost a hunger. In February Dave and I had an oops and the thought of being pregnant made us so happy it was scary. We couldn't understand why we were so happy!But we had embraced the thought of being pregnant. So it turned out I wasnt pregnant and oddly we were a little disappointed.
I began thinking about it and then I was flooded by worries. Resentment from my girls. I cant take care of that many. When they get sick and yea lets not forget we would need a new vehicle UM yea. That would be not happening. So in all reality of the world it would so not be possible and would not be happneing I dont care if 2 of the most coragious moms I know can have 7 and 5 kids and still be sane. They can, not me.
So Dave got more used to the Maybe having a baby... I was still worried and scared so I thought, Brilliant me will set up a day to meet with Vicki, my pastors wife who has 7 kids that are all wonderful and Leslie who has 5 thata re amazing too. I knew I would still be worried and having another would be out of the question for us.
WAS I WRONG OR WHAT!?!?! I met with them Friday the 6th. Told them all my fears and concerns and worried and pretty much the bottom line is " Stop worrying about stuff you can't control. God has provided for you all this time every time what makes you think he won't now, stop worrying about it. If you husband wants another baby then be grateful and say YES!. Its very uncommon for men to want another baby so the fact that he does is amazing and he is going to keep it worry free. So I was getting ready to leave and Vicki said " you know maybe God is wiating to provide the job so you obey him first" OH SNAP! NO WAY!!!! So I go to pick up Dave a books a million. He gets a few books for the kiddos. We head home and put them in bed and we go outside to work/talk. So we were talkin and I asked him if he really wanted another baby and he said YES!
So that night we tried for a baby! at 12:00 am to be exact. After wards we talked and we went through names. We have our girl named picked out. Its beautiful and fits perfectly! We dont have a boy name yet, we are going to pray about that. Unless it really is Brody. I couldnt sleep after that and I played my game and then Asked God for a verse to comfort me. And all of a sudden my God said Psalm 106:2. I'm thinking what? I dont even read psalms, they confuse me. And where in the world did it come from. Just then I looked at my phone and my score was 1060 and I had 2 balls left so I took that as a sign and closed my game and pulled the bible up on my phone and went to psalm 106:2 and it says " WHO CAN LIST THE GLORIOUS MIRACLES OF THE LORD? WHO CAN EVER PRAISE HIM HALF ENOUGH?" Oh MY GOSH! This is a perfect verse I cant believe it oh my gosh. And I cried myself to sleep.
The next morning we woke up early. Dave and B left for the car auction they had planned and Blessing came to my house to hang out. After 10 she left and Dav called and sent pictures We just got a van. A VAN!!! B just bought us a van! GOD JUST PROVIDED FOR US! A big fear was taken care of because Dave and I obeyed God!!!!!!! THIS IS AMAZING IT CANT BE HAPPENING!?!?!! So we are where we are now. Trying for a baby and we will see in two weeks if it worked. I can not even express my heart and our hearts and our excitment to just be so blessed! God is real. God is good and faithful and He will always answer your prays if you have faith and trust him!
