• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Why did this have to happen to me?

I can't understand why God allows certain things to happen in our lives. I knew that I would have some hardship in my life to deal with, everyone does, but why did this have to happen to me?

Over a year ago, two weeks after my twenty third birthday, I had to have a hysterectomy. All I ever wanted in my life was my own children. God knew that is all I wanted, yet that was the one thing that was taken from me. Is it because God thinks I wouldn't be a good mother? Does He not love me anymore? I just don't understand why. My heart is so broken that I feel it will never mend. :cry:

Thank you for listening.

God Bless,

Charity

God loves you, and will always love you. even if you were to wander, he would love you.

i'm deeply sorry about what you're going through. i can't say that i can relate, but i can tell you that no matter what, God will help you with what you're going through. he may choose to heal you. i've heard of people who weren't able to have children, have children. or maybe he has something different planned for you. if it is so...God will grant you the strength and use you in a powerful way concerning that. but either way, His way is the best way. all you have to do is trust Him. even though things are difficult now, the new morning will bring joy. it's not just a song...it's the truth.
also, i don't think it's because "God thinks you wouldn't be a good mother". sometimes we can never know why God allows some things to happen to us until we see the result of it. but here's how i see it. where the devil puts a period...God puts a but. anyways, i'll :pray: for you.

Don't fret. It's true, we all go into times of trouble. Just remember though that these are needed to create and prepare you for God's plan. Face it with optimism because it's worth the fight. Big hearts like yours don't let bad times get in the way of His plan. God is reshaping you into something awesome so keep at it because when you come out, you'll realise that you've gone changed alot for the better. :hug:

Charity, because you may never bear children does not mean you will never be a mother. I know your circumstances are difficult, but instead of dwelling on the negatives, open your heart to the positives.

There are far too many children in this world who have never felt the love of a mother. Maybe God wishes for you to adopt one, two or more of these. Perhaps he's saving certain ones just for you. So that not only your heart will be healed, but their's will be also.

You might think your life has been darkened by what occured more than a year ago....but think again. The sun shines brightly in your soul and in the souls of those children that await you.

Charity, *hug*. I would also be devastated in your situation. The only thing I can think to tell you is that we cannot see the plans God has for us. It may be hard to see and understand at the moment but God may have a more wonderful and magnificent plan for you. Contunue trusting Him and drawing strength from Him. I'll pray for you. *hug*

I am not going to say that I understand how you are feeling.  I believe that the pain you are feeling is great and heavy.  I hope that these passages will bring hope and strength to you.

Isaiah 40:27-29

Why do you say, O Jacob, and assert, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the LORD, And the justice due me escapes the notice of my God"? Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become weary or tired.  His understanding is inscrutable.  He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power.

Isaiah 25:1

"O LORD, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name; For You have worked wonders, Plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness."

Romans 12:10-13

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality.

Jerimiah 29:11

'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.

Isaiah 40:31

          Yet those who wait for the LORD
          Will gain new strength;
          They will mount up with wings like eagles,
          They will run and not get tired,
          They will walk and not become weary.


 

I know people who like yourself, have desired greatly to have children.  Even though they were not physically able to have children God answered their prayers and they have full families.  I am from such a family.  I was adopted when I was five and was saved from a horrible start to life.  God has saved not only my soul but he saved me from a much more difficult lifestyle.  As I was adopted, my wife and I plan to adopted a five year old boy in a few years when our daughter is older.  As my parents saved me, so will my wife and I do for another life - God willing.  I am greatful for our daughter everyday.  She is a blessing from God, but so are all the other children of the world who do not have parents.

I will pray that God will heal you and show you His purpose and is plan for your life.

All things work to the good for those who love God. We often face so many things that make us throw up our hands and wonder why. I'm sure Job wondered what was going on, too. But in the end Job was better off than he was in the firsat place and, to this day, many take heart and can see past their own grief because job was steadfast. hardships will come and go and we are too small to understand His ways. Seek Him in prayer, praise Him for the good in your life. thank Him that you are a loving person who would make a wonderful parent. Then do your part to make yourself whole. Look into adoption. mentor a young girl in your church who comes from a broken home. many of the girls in our youth group come from non-christian homes. What a blessing it would be to have a young christian woman come up beside them and teach them about God's love.

I will pray for you. I will ask my wife to do the same. We love you and are here for you should you need us.:hug:

Thank you all for your kind words, prayers, and suggestions. They mean so much to me. I am so very glad that I found this website. You have all helped me more than you'll ever know.

I am definitely looking into adoption. I just can't picture my life without being a mother.

Thank you again. May God bless each and everyone one of you.

Many Blessings,

Charity

Charity - heartfelt sorrow. What an amazing event, I can't begin to relate.

God says He takes away the things we want most and puts us where we fear most, so that we learn to give up control and not worry/ fear. I know that bearing a child is something that you've been dreaming about since a little girl, but don't let it end here.

You want to be a good mother? Well, being a mother isn't just giving birth to a child - it's love, nuturing, and teaching. There are so many souls out there that need your love - your motherly instinct.

Once your ready, please don't hold back.

Strength, Love and Prayer.
