A story worth telling!!

I wanted to share with you all a truly uplifting and amazing story. I started this year saying that this was our year, that we would get pregnant and have a baby. As many of you know that we did get pregnant this year, and that pregnancy ended, but we were able to get a lot of answers to move forward with. We have been praying the past month or so that God lead us to the path He wants us to take, and to speak (loudly) to us the perfect timing for us to try IUI again. About a week ago I had this overcoming feeling that December was the month we needed to try again, I sent messages out to my prayer warriors to pray that if this was not the timing that God has for us, for Him to intervene, before we start the process.

I went to the community food bank on last Thursday afternoon to give some of my time, and help them out wherever they needed it. It was my first time there, and I was a lil nervous walking in, but I was greeted with smiling grateful faces, welcoming my help.  A woman by the name of Regena Taylor the CEO of the place, she said they had some clerical work that I could help with, she lead me down the hallway and apologized because the room I was going to be working in was kinda warm, then she made the statement that it was ok that I was young enough to not know what a hot flash was, so I should be ok. This made me giggle a lil bit and I told her that I had been on clomid (one of the fertility drugs I take) long enough that I knew EXACTLY what a hot flash is! LOL she said she too had been on clomid to have their now 21 year old son! We go to talking and such and I told her we had been trying for a year, but still no baby, she immediately took both my hands in hers and started to pray over me.  She prayed for health, and prayed for me to get pregnant this year, and prayed for a healthy pregnancy and a happy and healthy baby to be born to us. I was in shock that a perfect stranger would pray for us with out us asking or anything!

I went about my business, and doing the task that she had given to me....she had moved me to another room so I wouldn't be so hot :-) as I was doing my work....it hit me like a smack in the face...
 I had never told her when we were going to try again.....I had not mentioned to her that we were going to even try again this year......and here she was in prayer, praying specifically for us to get pregnant THIS YEAR!!!!
 I immediately started to praise God for sending me to this place to help and give back....and praised Him for the wonderfulness ways he works.
 This was the answer we were looking for, the  "green light" that December IS the time we need to try again!!! I was crying when I realized what had just happened, God works in mysterious ways my friends!!! Here I was wanting to help them, and she helped me more than she ever knew!!!
This is just something I felt the need to share, to give praise to the Lord above!! How great is our God!?!?!
The next day as I was doing my bible study homework, I came across this scripture and I thought it was oh so fitting!
Daniel 2:20-23

"Praise the name of God forever and ever, for He has all the wisdom and power. He controls the course of world events; He removes kings and sets up other kings. He gives wisdom to the wise ad knowledge to the scholars. He reveals deep and mysterious things and knows what lies hidden in darkness, though He is surrounded by light. I thank and praised you, God of my ancestors, for you have given me wisdom and strength. You have told me what we asked of you and revealed to us what the king demanded."

Thank you God for giving us the strength and wisdom, you have told me what we have asked of you!
I can not praise God enough for the blessings He has given to us, and the wonderful ways he has brought them. I'm loving the path He is leading us down, and the wonderful people he is placing in our lives!!!
I hope you have enjoyed this as much as I have. I just stand in awe of Him!!!

God bless
