Hi to all

[Sarahlou]

Hello to you all, I have just signed up here today as i came across this forum on google.
I have had a bit of a down day today, as i went with my sister to her first scan. She is not a christian and has been with her boyfirend for about six months now and decided she wanted to have a baby straight away.
Basically to cut my story short i am married and have been for over three years now, i had a miscarriage nearly a year ago and have been longing to get pregnant since.
I am happy for her but i admit i am jealous, i understand Gods timing is perfect but i tend to get frustrated as you may all know.
Seeing young girls at the maternity unit is difficult to comprehend, i just question why?
Basically should i be praying for God to bless me with a baby or should i be praying for his will be done.
I would appreciate some words of encouragement and prayer.
Hopefully i will get to know you all soon.
Many thanks
Your sister in Christ

Hey Sarahlou, welcome!

Totally understand your emotions. Can't explain them or do much to help except to say I am in the same position as you (except I've not had a miscarriage), and if you ever want to chat or let off steam, feel free to pm me.

oh, and about the praying for a baby thing. That's a tough one. I have certainly cried tears and prayers for a child. I am more at the point when I can hand it over to God and say 'your will be done', although I do sometimes snatch it back again. If we read the stories of barren women in the Bible, God never condemns the women for voicing their heart cries to him. howeve, we should be cautious in assuming because God answered their cries with a child that we would get the same answer since all of the stories of Rachel, Sarah, Hannah, Elizabeth etc. all speak of the birth of a child that is key to God's plans in history.
