Day 30: Day in the life of trust...

Struggling today in waiting on God. I mentioned earlier in the year my hubby and I are trying to conceive.

I have 4 amazing children. I am blessed beyond measure.. but God told me I would have another child. I am not very good at waiting.

Lets be honest.. when I get an idea in my head I want it now...

But God's timing is perfect. It is hard not to get discouraged. I just want to trust him. I just need to trust him... but I am late. I am 6 days late.. and no positive pregnancy test.

I have to walk away from trying to conceive. But as my friend Lucy says "knowledge can be a burden". In this case I think it is. I have been reading up on conception and charting and natural family planning. I am more confused now then I have ever been.

I am laying this at your feet Lord. Take this from me... make it yours. Your glory, Your power, YOUR timing.

I love you Lord.

Amen
Joan

    I'll pray about this Joan.That you can relax and be confident that God can carry the ball across the goal line. You are worth it! You know a funny thing happened to me at our Women's Prayer Group last night. My MS was prayed for and I felt so conflicted about it because "Shut Up!" there are so many other more important things to pray for ladies, not me!? Driving home I thought of your blog and how silly it was for me to feel that way. If I'm not worthy of prayer then what...

    Try to focus on one good source of information about conception and natural family planning, so as to decrease your confusion.
