My Sweet Jesus!

God is so GOOD.

Teusday Tegan and Michelle came over and prayed with me that God would strengthen me and miraculously heal me. At the time I was very dehydrated and could not take the pregnancy test. So we still had no idea what was going on. A few hours after they left when things had settled down with the children I took the test and Hurray! I am not pregnant!

So my next step was to make an appointment with the doctor to see what was going on. That night my uterus was very sore. Asher pressed around on it and to see if he could tell anything. (I am not sure how that would help.) It was quite painful and I really didn't like him touching me. I was starting to feel like this was a very serious situation because of the pain. But then when I woke up the next morning my pain was gone. After two months of pain, suddenly it was gone. It occured to me that God had healed me but I was a little to hesitant to start proclaiming the good news in case it was something else. So today is Thursday and still no pain.

Earlier today I was thinking about my conversation with Bill Monday night and a tiny little thing popped into my head and I started to wonder about it. In my thinking it was totally unrelated to my uterus problem but I wanted to check it out. I spent a little time on the internet this morning researching it and I discovered that I have a tilted uterus. I think the surgery aggravated it or possibly made it go lower but I am pretty sure that is the cause of my dilemma. I know this is a God thing. It was really just a passing comment that Bill made and did not make any big impression on me. Then this morning, out of the blue, I felt like I just had to check it out. Thank you God. It is so awesome to be reminded that He is watching out for me and He does listen to our prayers.

"…The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective" (James 5:16)

'Have faith in God,' Jesus answered. 'I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, "Go, throw yourself into the sea," and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins'" (Mark 11:22-25).

"And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it" (John 14:13-14).

Thanks Michelle, Tegan and everyone else that prayed for me.

I haven't read this until today... that's truly awesome. I'm so glad that Tegan and I were able to be there with you and give you some encouragement.

It's funny, I have a tilted uterus too. That's why my cramps were always so bad and partly why, if you remember, I had such bad cramps in my first trimester - my uterus was moving to where it should be in addition to growing. We should make a club or something :)

P.S. I just found your latest comment on my journal and I wanted to let you know how happy I am that we're getting to know each other better, too. You've helped ease so many fears throughout this pregnancy, and I really love knowing that you're there for me.

I hope everything's okay from last night... we popped in and Asher wasn't looking too well. Let me know if you guys need any help or prayers or anything.

I have heard that if someone has their tubes "tied" (or whatever it is actually called), a pregnancy test will likely show up negative, so you might not ever have a positive pregnancy again. You might do some research on that. I'm glad to hear you're doing well!
