Answered prayers

I shared early on that there were two very big requests we have been bringing to God. #1-To sell some land we own and #2-To become pregnant with a second child. Even when you read the scriptures over and over that tell you to TRUST GOD it's still hard to do. This is especially hard for someone like me with a somewhat compulsive personality that likes to be in control of everything. But of course God knows how to show us that HE'S in control, not us! So it's been quite a few months that we have been petitioning the Lord for these things. I have to admit I've had my days of frustration and even questioning God and why He wasn't coming through.

A little over a month ago my mom called me to tell me she felt the Lord had woke her up early one morning and she couldn't stop thinking about the fact that I was still going to the tanning bed (yes, vain and silly I know) but yet trying to get pregnant. "Was that smart?" she asked me. I had to admit that God had been dealing with me for some time over the very same issue so that was just confirmation. I stopped going and just prayed my obedience paid off...WELL IT DID! I had a doctor's appointment today and I AM PREGNANT! What a blessing from the Lord!

"Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,The fruit of the womb is a reward."
Psalm 127:3
"For You formed my inward parts;You covered me in my mother’s womb."
Psalm 139:13

God is so faithful! So now we are still trusting for the sale of our land! Our realtor showed it this weekend and we are praising God that these are the buyers and they will give us the price we want out of it. Thank you God for caring about the big and the little things in our lives!
