As with all plumbing problems, we all just need to call on the right technician to help us fix the problem and it’s as good as new. In this case, it was the priest who repaired the damage for you. I hope you inspire more people by your story. <br><br>Darryl Ioriohttp://www.milani.ca/british-columbia/surrey-bc-plumbingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438013659013419081.post-81725948778395919422010-06-23T08:01:24.422-05:002010-06-23T08:01:24.422-05:00I haven't been able to muster the courage to l...I haven't been able to muster the courage to listen to it yet.<br><br>I am hoping to tonight.<br><br>But I have been praying for you and your future babies since we talked at Papasitos. <br><br>I love your heart so so much sweet friend.Kellihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11221108113261292862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438013659013419081.post-73744034485111373622010-05-26T16:52:21.719-05:002010-05-26T16:52:21.719-05:00Thanks so much for posting this!

I think my favorite part of what you wrote that he said is that a child is a gift, not a right. Amen, amen, amen! I pray people hear and understand that. Such a precious gift. Not something anybody deserves. And I believe that God will protect your heart and mind even if you do deal with these struggles, but I pray you won't have to.

It came for a different reason for me. I am the popular phrase fertile myrtle. Matt could just be in the room with me and I would be pregnant. I was weeping for the women coming front wanting a baby so desperately. I was the teenage girl not even thinking of a baby and yet God BLESSED me with one, for reasons I don't know I will ever understand. It moved me to tears when he said girls able to get pregnant so easy and they go straight to the abortion clinic, while those that would be raised in a godly home just can't get pregnant. Some things I will never understand. Thanks for sharing your heart, I love hearing it!Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17642922076249124396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438013659013419081.post-84714517484058405282010-05-24T17:59:46.114-05:002010-05-24T17:59:46.114-05:00I too, was a leaky faucet... shocking, I know.

I just bawled my eyes out. <br>But, the most amazing thing was to see those of our friends that had come down to pray on our behalf. I was so humbled. <br><br>Love you, friend. I pray that you never have to face this terrible struggle, but I understand your fears of it. I can promise you that if you do have to walk that road, I for one will be here by your side for the whole journey!Rusty and Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13024111730935179701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438013659013419081.post-67196662343091434492010-05-24T16:41:25.111-05:002010-05-24T16:41:25.111-05:00Jen, I just listened to the blog re-cap video for...Jen, <br><br>I just listened to the blog re-cap video for Beth Moore's most recent event in Grand Rapids...the video was set to Travis singing "I Will Sing of My Redeemer." He is Redeemer! Everything that was lost or taken--He buys back. I know that we know that, but it's so wonderful to be reminded of it. Ah, this might be a tad long, but one last thought. I was reading the first chapter of Ruth a while back and really identifying with Naomi when she says (paraphrase), "I was full, but now I'm empty. Don't call me Naomi (pleasant), call me bitter." I prayed before the Lord, telling Him of my own emptiness and that I "got" Naomi. I was asking Him, "how do I avoid being bitter?" She was letting her circumstances determine her feelings. But how do we not? You know? It seems logical to me...we often "feel" the circumstances. (And in the midst of the feelings that result from our sight, we choose to walk by faith.) <br><br>It was as if the Lord said, "What if life is not really about the circumstances--sometimes we're full, sometimes we're empty--at the end of the day, it's all about the Redeemer. Boaz. Jesus." <br><br>He uses every circumstance, and at the end of it all, He redeems. <br><br>I pray that His faithfulness is your guard in every area of life. He loves us so. <br><br>Blessings to you,<br>TaylorTaylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09488879518275112785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438013659013419081.post-7204287174676092142010-05-24T16:29:22.499-05:002010-05-24T16:29:22.499-05:00Thanks for sharing.

I wasn't sure I wanted to get pregnant- ever and I did- baby is a suprise, a complete suprise. We really REALLY struggled at first and some days I'm still not sure I'm cut out for what is to come (due Oct2010) but I can tell you one thing I've learned for sure. My baby, babies in general really ARE a gift from God and a blessing that is beyond words. Thank you for sharing this sermon, it made me cry to. I thank God every day for my new blessing and accept his plan and I pray for anyone else out there who is struggling with what was my issue or the issue of infertility. <br>Again, thanks for sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438013659013419081.post-48969898302840038322010-05-24T15:20:47.360-05:002010-05-24T15:20:47.360-05:00Oh, girl....I will be listening to this tonight......Oh, girl....I will be listening to this tonight...after I have removed my makeup for the day!<br><br>Thanks for the reminder to be praying for all of those mommies and daddies!Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05772819464369181754noreply@blogger.com
