  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I had tos hare this story with you all, as God has forbid me to share with anyone IRL. But I asked and He said He would allow me to share here. He knows I'm bursting at the seams about all of the amazing happenings He has performed in my life recently.

We just "officially" found out through a quantitive beta test last week that we are pregnant again! :D My last child is only 13 months old, so this has been a bit of a shock especially for hubby. What is so amazing is what I will now share with you.

Since my daughter was about 9 months old I started praying for a child again, of a specific gender, and praying ferevently everyday. At one point about 2 months ago He told me wihle I was praying that He would give me what I was asking for. I was amazed and praised Him. I kind of forgot about it for a while, since He did say He would give it already.

Then about 2 1/2 weeks ago I started having really weird symptoms, symptoms I only get in pregnancy. My husband ignored them and wrote them off as nothing. I was just kind of scared at first, as I knew this wasn't the best time for my husband for me to be pregnant.

About a week went by and I couldn't stand it anymore, I bought 2 hpts and took one right away. it was negative, and then the next one (the very next day!) was also negative. I prayed that day, "God please, just tell me if I'm pregnant - I need to know!) He told me I was, and that I was carrying what I had asked for. He also told me not to tell anyone that He has told me all of this. Everything needs to be done in the normal way for the benefit of everyone else, I can only reveal these things after the birth and then it will be to His glory.

Okay, so i freaked out then! The symptoms persisted, all the while I'm still expecting them to go away. God cna tell us stuff, but boy it's hard to believe him sometimes isn't it? :o Finally I called my doctor and last week she ordered a blood test. I was so nervous the next day while I was awaiting the results. God kept saying to me, "Why are you worried? Isn't MY Word more sure than any earthly blood test? You know it will come back positive!" At times I felt comforted by this, other times the fear and anxiety was winning. Sure enough my test came back positive. They wanted another test though, to make sure the numbers were doubling correctly. So I had to go back agian the next day. Again, God said to me "Don't worry -It's in My will and will come back just fine!" Sure enough - perfect!

I am just so amazed by all this - I HAD to share with someone! I am so grateful He's allowed me to share this with you all! :clap:
