Annie,

Greetings in the Lord! This is Greg, TheNET Coordinator. Welcome! We're glad you are here!

Thanks for your post. I don't have any great wisdom for you, except that God knows your situation, He loves you and has a perfect plan for you and your husband. According to my understanding, these things take time and I've heard too many stories of supposedly "infertile" couples eventually having babies. There are a lot of emotional, physical and stress factors involved. I would encourage you to trust God and keep praying.

Annie, have you just become a believer recently? Where do you feel you are now in your walk with the Lord?

Please be sure to check out the Genesis Group and visit the Links for Growth forum for great tips on how to grow in Christ.

I also want to invite you to join our new Bible study, In the Beginning: a study in the book of Genesis to help you know God better and grow in Him! You can click here to join the study.

Once again, thanks for joining TheNET. I hope you make lots of good friends here and keep growing in the wisdom and knowledge of the Lord.

My husband and I have been TTC for several years. Feel free to message here on this network and I'll send you some ideas.

Hi Annie!!
Im glad I met you!! Wow! Get this-
Im married,just turned 35,and my husband just turned 51.When I met him,he was just getting a divorce from his wife of 20 yrs. He has 2 kids around my age already. When we were married, the doctor said I couldnt have kids because of all the self abuse to my body that I did. Like anorexia, bulimia. and diet pills. Lets just say, before christ I had a pretty bad habit of not taking very good care of myself I guess. But anyway, I didnt want kids anyway. Well in 2002 I gave my dying body to Christ, and in 2004 I had a healthy baby boy. Now, isnt that interesting? First, my body was trashed, my husband was alot older, I didnt even want kids,, but then, well, God did what He did and I cannot imagine living without my now 2 small children. Yes, I just had another one last August. What Im saying is that you have to TRUST God because He has for you a plan that you have NO idea what it is for your life. He KNOWS what you need, WHO you need and WHEN. I never thought I would have kids, let alone even a Christian, but God always gets His way. My husband just got a vasectomy actually just yesterday. Funny eh? Well, not so funny for him, but, ya know. But can you imagine this man? Hes been married before with 2 kids about my age with thier own kids and now he has a whole new family he just started. So, his new children that he has with me, are younger than his grandchildren. Hmmmmmm,ponder that one. I am soo excited to meet you!! Did the Lord bring us together or what???? I asked my husband what a vasectomy reversal would cost, but he doesnt know. (Nor would he care at this point, because he's done!) So I will call the doctor and let you know. My advice? Adopt. I have alot of friends at my church that have, and they absolutely are blessed because of it. You should look into that some more. Anyway, got to go. You sound like you are soo passionate about God and your hubby. You are encouraging to me!!! IM NOT ALONE!!!!!
Paige

Hey Annie!!
WoW! Ya! What a coincidence!!!
My sons name is Chase and my daughters name is Danielle. Are you thinking of those at all for names. Just wondering since you are using Paige. Anyway, Lets chat more. I would like to send you pictures of us and the kids, but I dont know how. How do I do that? Well, hes got the reversal so lets join together in prayer for that little one to come!! God is faithful, and even if He doesnt give you a child, just know that maybe it wasnt His will that you have one of your own but that you should adopt or something. Be a caregiver or teach a class or something like that. Anyway, I hope to hear from you. I think God brought us together!!!!! Paige

Hi Annie, real great to meet you. I share in your request. Not that am married and seeking a baby, but that i identify with your burden and will hold it up in my heart.. Most people are anxious about having a baby and this is in direct contradiction of the injunction in scripture. Trust His almighty hand dear, rest in the confidence that God is great and has a plan for you even in these times.. I am sure that his hands are in your life regardless of how this turns out.. Trust him.. rest in his love.. Will hope to become great friends as time goes on..
cheers..

Hi Annie! GOD can do what no one else can. My Aunt was told by doctors that she would NEVER have children, she had some internal problems, well that was 4 boys ago!!! He parted the sea for Moses to pass, but what really gets me is they walked across on DRY land! He can take the impossible and make it possible for his glory, pray as if you have already recieved. Pray in faith believing

I plan to be in church tomarrow, and as for me honestly, rough, but I have my sights and affections on things above, and nothing down here can get me down.... if I dwell on them :)

Annie,
Thank you for your mail and I hereby confirm that I have accepted being your friend.
Pray without ceasing God will give you whatever you desire to have.

Hi Annie,
Please message me. I'll walk you through some things. My hubby and I have been trying for 9 years and it is a hard journey. There are some tips (prayers, etc) I can give you to help you through those tough monthly times where you think you're just going to give up. Also, I have some medical questions for you.

Do you see the little baby in the arms of my wife? She was born after my wife received a prophecy from the Lord. (My other two children are from my wife's first marriage, so little Susan is my first biological child.) We were married for five years when she was born. Susan's first birthday is two weeks from now.

I know that God will do the same for you. Just rest in Him.

I'll resend the email tonight, ok? It's on my home computer. I'll send it as a message on this network instead of by email. Hope you're doing well.

Hi. I like your Dogs!!!

Annie,

What a lovely couple you are! I love couples who stick together...for that's how I am with my simple wife Mary. I have just been reading your blog and i think I might be having an answer to your prayers. Let me fetch you a secret weapon i have seen open up the lives of people. Receiving from God's hand is never expensive: we receive all we ask for freely. This is bound to revolutionalize your life.I will be right back to you dear. Meanwhile, be kind enough to add me.

God bless you both.

Annie dear,

I have just posted for you the thread at your blog. i hope you will be uplifted and blessed. I know it is long but be good enough to read through it prayerfully.

And...thanks for accepting to add me as your friend. friends are rare pearls. God bless you both!

FOR I, THE LORD YOUR GOD, WILL HOLD YOUR RIGHT
HAND, SAYING TO YOU, "FEAR NOT, I WILL HELP
YOU."
( ISAIAH 41:13 *NKJV )
We often face troubling times in our lives that
cause us to worry, and lose sleep. As a child of God you
have Him at your side, holding your hand, and guiding
your pathway through those times. For, THE LORD IS
GOOD, A STRONGHOLD IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE;
AND HE KNOWS THOSE WHO TRUST IN HIM.
( NAHUM 1:7 )
He will never abandon HIS Children, throughout
their entire lives. For He is always with us no matter
what we may face, as He further promised: WHEN YOU
PASS THROUGH THE WATERS, I WILL BE WITH YOU;
AND THROUGH THE RIVERS,* THEY SHALL NOT
OVERFLOW YOU. WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE
FIRE,* YOU SHALL NOT BE BURNED, NOR SHALL
THE FLAME SCORCH YOU. ( ISAIAH 43:2 )
[*Rivers and *Fire in the verse represent difficulties in our
lives]
Therefore, FEAR NOT, FOR I AM WITH YOU; BE NOT
DISMAYED, FOR I AM YOUR GOD. I WILL
STRENGTHEN YOU, YES, I WILL HELP YOU, I WILL
UPHOLD YOU WITH MY RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND.
( ISAIAH 41:10 )
So the next time you face troubling times, do as Jesus
said: "LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED; YOU
BELIEVE IN GOD, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME." (JOHN 14:1)
Then WHEN YOU LIE DOWN, YOU WILL NOT BE
AFRAID; YES, YOU WILL LIE DOWN AND YOUR
SLEEP WILL BE SWEET. ( PROVERBS 3:24 )
Now have a great day walking hand and hand with God,
friend! Amen.
