City On Our Knees…
I just listened to Toby Mac’s new song “City on our knees”
I’m blown away by the imagery that I receive by hearing that song.
It is like I’m flying through the air at dusk in a pink and purple sky wrapped in the love and presence of God. It’s AWESOME!
As I was enjoying the Lord’s presence while listening to this song I realized that if I believe that my next child is planned for us, who are we to think that something could interfere with the plan of God. Our child is planned and all I have to do is wait patiently and look for God’s direction in how to do my part in helping him get here.
As I was writing this something in me broke… I realized that the devil couldn’t stop God’s plans to raise up Moses or Jesus. No devil in hell can stop our child from coming.
And I’ve been learning lately to hear the voice of the Lord.
Therefore with something as important as a life I trust that God can get my attention at the appropriate time. I am the victor in this situation also, I am not defeated in any area because the Holy Spirit is my teacher and He is teaching me right now and I’m listening!
I will not listen to anymore lies from hell that say it’s never going to happen or are you sure that God showed you this?
No More Doubt!
I have not realized until today how much he’s been lying to me.
And I’ve been too blinded by pain to realize it.
No More!
I must encourage myself in the Lord at all times in every area.
Holy Spirit show me where doubt takes up residence in my life and help me to drive it out.
Beautiful, Holly! I am praying for you – with you. I have faith that it will happen.
When I found out I was pregnant with Nickolas, I had a lot of fears about the “what ifs”. All the sudden, all these things that could happen overwhelmed me. It especially brought me to my knees after so many scares…they couldn’t find his heartbeat at 12 weeks & I had to wait hours for an ultrasound, my first episodes of pre-term labor started at 24 weeks, bedrest, his heart rate dropping during labor, being born 3+ weeks early…I could go on & on. My prayers through all that were nothing short of desperate. I think all those trials made my heart tender to those who have to endure long roads to their children. 6 1/2 years ago, I started praying for those I knew wanted a child/more children. Ya’ll have been on my prayer list since then. Here are some praises from my prayer list to encourage your heart –
My cousin tried for years & had given up hope when she got pregnant with her 2nd child. He will be 2 yrs next month – her oldest boy is 7.
My co-worker’s daughter was able to adopt a newborn baby boy…& was actually in the delivery room when her son was born! He’s 2 years old now.
Another co-worker had been trying for 1.5 years when I found out I was pregnant with Nickolas. Shortly before Nickolas was born, she found out she was pregnant with baby #2 (that put her trying well over 2 years). While I was out of bedrest, she lost the baby. She suffered through multiple miscarriages. Last year, she gave birth to a healthy baby boy & soon her son will celebrate his 1st birthday. Her oldest child is 11 years old.
A dear friend is expecting her first after trying for a year.
I know that was a jumble mess of thoughts, but I hope it encourages your heart. Keeping you in my prayers!!
Love,
Lacey
