God-given peace

I've spent a lot time the past eight months thinking about how much I want kids. DH and I know that we both want kids, but he wants to wait a few years, and work on building a house first. I was going absolutely nuts for a few months - I wanted children SO bad, it was physically painful to think about waiting even longer for them (plus I'm older, and don't want to increase birth defect risks).

When DH and I decide to TTC, I want it to be *our* decision, not just me saying I want to and him going along to please me. So I started praying about it. I prayed that God would work on DH's heart, and have him let me know when he was ready to TTC.

Anyways, to my complete surprise, it was *my* heart that God worked on. I still want kids, but I have a wonderful peace about waiting a bit longer for them. :)

I just had to share. Anything really cool that God has done for you lately?

    What an awesome story! God ALWAYS answers prayer- just not always in the way we want Him to. I'm happy you have found peace. When the time does come for children, you will be a wonderful mom! God is preparing your heart for the kids He's going to entrust to you... soon enough.   :)

    aww what a blessing! I'm so glad to hear that :)  btw, you said you're older? You don't look much older than me! (I'm 24)

    well, as I talked about in another post, I've been struggling with a "friendship breakup", and although I'm still fairly upset about it (not as devestated as I have been) I'm grateful that God has blessed me with some new church friends, which I really needed anyway. I hadn't really made any new friends in the US since giving my life to Christ, which was frustrating. I really value friendships, but I could only spend so much time with people whose faith was so different than mine. 

    I always need one good friend too, and I've been spending time outside church with one girl. Our hubbies get along too! And they have 2 (almost 3!) kids that I get to play with :)  It's so refreshing to spend time with someone I can relate to: married, in our twenties & on fire for Christ!

    I'm 29, but I do look young for my age. If I wear my hair in pigtails I can pass for ten years younger. ;) Thanks for the compliment!

    <div>a girl I used to work with looked about my age but I think she said she was 35, and she wore pigtails a lot! I bet your hubby enjoys the pigtails; DH loves it when I have them!</div>
