Infertility prayers I found online.

Infertility Prayer

Almighty God, I have need of patience so that after I done your will, I will be able to receive the blessing of your promise.

Help me to develop a more patient attitude at all times, and to be an imitator of those who through patience, inherit the promises of your word.

Teach me how to wait patiently on you, father, because I know that your timing is perfect. I believe that which you have promised to me will surely come to pass. Lord I believe you will settle me in my own home as a happy mother of children.

I will patiently await the fulfilment of your promises, father, for you watch over your word to bring it to pass. I rejoice that your word will never return unto you void, it will accomplish the purposes for which you send it.

Help me never to grow weary in well doing, because I know in due season I will surely reap. Thank you, father. I love you so much, because you are so good.

Show me how to be patient toward all others. I want to be a woman who is gentle, apt to teach and patient.

Thank you for hearing my prayer, father, and for the ministry of your Holy Spirit who is working in me and enabling me to bear the fruit of patience in my life.

Thank you for all the promises of your word father. Your word gives me the faith and confidence to hold onto the certainty that your promise will surely be fulfilled. Your word is always true and your faithfulness is unto all generations.

Strengthen me to never grow weary in well-doing for I know I will reap in due season if I wait for your perfect will to be accomplished. I will let patience have its perfect work in my life.

After my waiting upon your word I will be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. These things I pray, father in the wonderful name of Jesus my Lord.

Amen

In the Face of Fertility Challenges

Lord, help me to know that You are enough. Take my eyes off of myself. Take my eyes off of the child I desire. Help me to delight myself in You. Mold the desires of my heart to be in line with Your will. I don't want to need to be a mother more than I need to be your humble, obedient child. I don't want wanting to have a baby to be a stumbling block between You and me anymore.

Lord, I want to give this desire, this drive, this ache up to You. Help me not to snatch it back as I so often do with the burdens I place in Your hands. Help me to be truly content with Your will and Your timing.

Lord, You know that I still desire a baby - someone to mold, teach, train, shape, guide, and help to grow in You. But until the day You give me that joyous blessing, help me to grow in You. Let me reach out to those around me. Let me witness and minister to the children You place in my path.

Lord, if adoption is the path You would have us take, prepare our hearts, and prepare the child who will share our home. If adoption is not Your will for our lives, keep me from pushing ahead of Your plan. Help me to stay submitted to my husband's will, and to Your will. If we are headed in the wrong direction, change our hearts.

Thank You for lifting my burden. Help me to keep You first! Let me seek Your face daily, and let me know that You are enough!


Prayer to Heal the Pain of Infertility

Dear Lord, the pain of infertility is so deep. All of our lives, we dream of being mothers, of raising children with loving hearts to do your will on this earth. Month after month when that dream does not come true, it so painful, Lord. We feel like our dreams die each month with empty arms. Please guide us to trust in your plan for us. We desperately need you in our lives. Thank you for all the blessings we do have, knowing through you all things are possible. Amen

Heartbroken!

Well this weekend was pretty good until yesterday. I realized my engagement ring was missing. I was 1000% sure I left on my Grandmothers end table. Well it was no where to be found. I am so sad about it. I am trying so hard not to let it get to me but its hard. How could I have lost something so special to me. I pray that God heals my heart on this one.

Coupons and other ramblings of a sleep deprived person

So I just started getting back into coupons lately and I think that I actually might have the hang of this. Here is what I bought!

CVS-

3 Chef Boyardee
3 Pudding Snacks
2 Bags of Sunflower seeds
4 Dry Idea Deoderants
2 Right Guard Deoderants

For all of that I paid .99 (I had $15 extra care bucks also) and got $11 extra care bucks. That was a fun trip!

Then I went to Kroger-

5 12packs coke
6 vitamin waters
6 sobe life waters
1 box Kashi Waffles
2 bbq sauces
2 bags wacky pasta
6 2 liters of Kroger brand soda
2 cool whip
5 boxes of Green giant veggies
3 packs of Gerber baby food
1 Purina Dentix dog treats
1 suddenly salad mix
1 box donuts
2 Dial hand soaps

I paid 24.xx out of pocket. I saved 72% on my groceries, my best trip yet!!!! I was so excited. I think I might like this whole coupon thing!

NEW YORK NEW YORK....

So I fly this evening to NY again. I am looking forward to it. This time I am taking my laptop with me so that I can post as I go. I should probably work now!

Not me Monday!!!



Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

I didn't do so well on my last Not Me! Monday! so I am trying again. I did not turn 37 on Friday! Not mention I did not regret staying home from work.

I did not buy 3 things from the thrift store for a baby! Honestly, I don't have a stash of baby things put aside because I am not obsessing about becoming a mom!

I am not excited about my trip to NY this weekend even though I was just there. I did not put off my first round of clomid to go on this trip!

I do not love my husband with every ounce of my being.

Finally, I did not finally find a church and I do not love it! I do not look forward to Saturday nights so I can see my BBC friend Audra and listen to the message. Not at all.

I'm 37???

So Friday was my birthday and I turned a whopping 37 years old. It makes me wonder where did all the time go? When did I get so OLD???

I chose to keep a low profile that day! First off I took the day off. I went with my mother in law to do some shopping. We went to my new favorite deal place CVS. Then to my favorite fun place, JoAnn fabric!!! She treated me to a very yummy chicken sandwich and diet coke. We came home and I just LOUNGED for more of the afternoon. After a bit the lounging got to be boring so I wandered down to the first floor to see what was a-happening. Well, I was just in time. My birthday dinner was cooked. I had pork roast, corn and scalloped potatoes which were delicious. Then for dessert, cupcakes. At this stage in my life birthdays are not about gifts. It meant a lot to me that someone took the time to cook a special dinner for me. Its the little things that mean the most. I got to snuggle with JC and watch tv... what more could I ask for?

Kayleigh

I was so sorry to hear that sweet Kayleigh Freeman passed away last night. She was such a blessing to all who were touched by her. I am glad she is no longer suffering and I have visions of her sweetly nestled in the Lord's arms as he welcomes her home.

When it rains....

yeah, you know the rest. Today the power go shut off at the house. I am struggling with this. I have never had my power shut off before. I have been THREATENED many times but always pulled it together before then. There is no one to blame really. 3 months ago my mother in law and I combined households in an effort to make things better for all of us. I am trying to have faith in all of this but I will be honest... it gets really hard sometimes. I just want to be ok. I have reserved myself to the fact that I will never have the money I used to have and that is ok. Money isn't everything. I just wish I had enough. I honestly just want enough. God is good and I know he will fulfill our needs. For all who read, just pray for our family in this tough time.

On a happy note. I went to NY the first weekend in May to start the planning of my cousin/sister's baby shower. She is adorable pregnant! It was very tiring but definitely fun. I am looking forward to going back next weekend for Memorial day. I am so jazzed about that. This is one of the main things I love about living in WV. I am way closer than San Diego. Everytime I think of running back there I remember the small things like this. The only other time I got to see family 2xs in one month was when mom died. So this is nice. It may be a 7-9 hour drive but at least I can get there.
