Let me explain:
I know I cant be the only person who has said " I let go and let God" and then something happens in our lives and we see we are not as faithful as we thought... otherwise we wouldnt be afraid of anything in life.
Well usally these tests of faith happen under stress... well the other day, in a calm friendly discussion , i was doing ok!
My best friend asked me a question about me and hubby's sex life. ( Girls do that) She asked what we used to protect gainst pregnancy. I told her we didnt use anything, just the rythem method.
( im not stating this to start a debate, but to prove a point about God)
She said " oh i would be scared to death I was pregnant if we did that and i was late. Thats how we had our first child Dont that scare you?"
I said no, and it dont. I told her she had to realize that for 3 years i prayed to get pregnant. Did everything i could think of to help myself get pregnent, stand on my head! lol.
Before i was saved and before i was married i was permiscuose. Thank God i never got pregnent then. But how many people do you know that was either on the pill, rythem, tubes tide, used a condom, jellies and creams.... and STILL they got pregnent! I know at least one person that has used each of those items and did..... yet I went for years of foolishness and didnt... then prayed for 3 years to get pregnent.... and finally did! and when i did iwas going thru a bank ruptcy and loosing my home!
My point is... you can be like me... or you can be a virgin, first time using three condoms, the pill, and the rythem method and end up pregnant. My brother was told he was steral and his wife's female organs would kill a fetus.... and yet they have 2 healthy kids.
IF IT IS GODS WILL.... YOU CANT STOP IT! I reallized how I had no fear over that I could get pregnent... because with God i have just as much chance not to.... it is His will. I was so happy... it was like a break thru.
Not that im happy in her fear... i just realized how much i have grown. The Lord give me what i need, and to sustain! In faith I can flourish and help others!
My friend is very fearful of everything. She was on birth control and her tubes tide to straighten out her peroids. The pills were making her sick so i suggested natual progesterone to get off the pills ( plus she pre menoposal) she read somewhere that "natrual" progesterone could cause cancer.... i told first of all i dont belive it, nothing natural has been proven to cause cancer, but even if it was, her pills diffantly were known to cause breast cancer...
YET SHE SMOKES! She buys bottled water because she thinks the water is cancer causing YET SHE SMOKES!
See my point.
Im sorry i have rattled on, dont feel bad for not responding, i just am happy im not as uptight of not being in control.... ( something i struggled with) I realize i have really Let Go and Let God.
Thank you Lord, another prayer answered!
