Because I believe in God and His sovereignty, I believe that everything happens for a reason, even the bad things...but it can still be tempting to fall into the bad pattern of doubt and worry. That is why it is nice when some little thing happens just at the right time to encourage and uplift one's spirits.
The past couple months have been a little bit of a struggle for me. The reason is because once Kira turned one, I started getting questions of "are you going to have another baby?" more and more. Since I try to be upfront, I would answer yes but inside me there was a knot in my stomach and a lump in my throat. I started feeling more and more pressure to be pregnant. I wanted to be pregnant now. I guess this may sound funny to some of you reading this but this issue really became all-consuming in my life. I am writing this down as a testimony to God's gracious and compassionate hand in my life. I started turning to Him more in prayer and began really seeking Him more fervently. I needed answers. I prayed for patience and wisdom. I also prayed that He would reveal His plan to me in HIS time. It is amazing what happened. I started to feel PEACE finally about this issue.

Yay, Dawny! What a lovely post, I know it will happen for you! I'll pray for peace for you as well. I hope you had a great Birthday, I'm so blessed to have a wonderful sister like you!
It's amazing how much we care "about what people think"- me included. It just makes us draw near to our Father, protector, provider- our all in all. We are so blessed that we can turn to His Word for guidance and comfort. His plan is ultimately for your good and not bad.
