We went to very similar hardships and struggles, got married 2018 and are still waiting. So we understand you guys very well!!. Just time is ticking here a bit faster. I am 39 already.
But God forms our character through difficulties and everything has His good purpose. It is encouraging to see how you are using your time in the meanwhile wisely. May God bless you for all you do for so many. ♡
Thank you so much for this!! I have listened to this many times now. What a blessing! Thank you for talking about real life issues that we all deal with. Praying the Lord grants you with children like He did in scripture to all the barren woman.
I remember praying for a husband after a very hard and non religious upbringing. After meandering through jobs and a degree I was 25 when I met my now husband, we married last month. I have wanted children since I finished high school and at 29 I have been blessed with pregnancy quickly. I feel so thankful to God and I now am passing these prayers on to you. I hope so much that you are heard and I wanted to thank you for your videos. They keep me reassured in a society that does not value the home and family. You give so much and it will be wonderful when you get your answer too.
Thank you! And congratulations!!! On marriage and your baby- and so excited to hear that you didn't delay, what a blessing! We pray it is a smooth pregnancy for you. Thank you for sharing your testimony and God bless you guys!
Love your testimony.
Pray for me also. Pray that God would change my husbands heart. married at 20 and I'm 26 years old now with 2 children- but my husband is a perfectionist and I guess he feels like we can barely do well with 2, so why have more and suffer, and possibly suffer future children from our imperfect situation etc. I don't know. I truly desire more children, but my husband is like a concrete wall. I feel like I've given up- It hurts too much to try and talk to him about it because I will just be pushed aside, but at the same time I feel like I'm 26 and that it truly is 'time' to have children. Both of our children were not technically planned, but of course welcomed and loved! (Our first was conceived during our first week of being married- after those 2 weeks we prevented pregnancy consistently.) Our second was in a season where I had asked my husband over and over, and he continued to say no and it was very difficult emotionally for me, but the Lord allowed me to get pregnant within those few months, totally prevented and unplanned. There is a population of Christian woman that are not dealing with infertility, but dealing with a husband that does NOT have a desire or conviction for more children. It's super painful. I've supported my husband through university these past years, and now he finally has a job where he can provide for our family month after month, we are about to close on a new house with more bedrooms than we need etc. We are literally in the situation for having more kids! But one thing- I've also gained about 40lbs since having children. I have thyroid issues but both of my pregnancies has been easy and enjoyable physically, apart from hemhoraging during birth with both of them, but not so severe where i needed blood transfusions. My first was an unneccessary c section, and i wanted to prove to my husband I COULD birth my children! So i did. Our next baby was born naturally at home, but then i hemmhoraged. I don't know- I just feel like my husbands risk analysis is just an insult to me. It's like I cant win. It doesnt help that this is literally his profression- data, programming, math etc. So i push it down and suppress it. But it's coming up a lot- especially lately. I am praying that God heals any underlying issues in our marriage- more than just him wanting more children. But through that- I pray God would give him the desire.
I had my first at 26 and I am now 35 with 5 kids. Don't give up! I have heard many stories of women who their husband's hearts are changed. Speaking from experience with a husband who is in a field that is mathematical and exact and also wanted few children due to that...He also changed his mind suddenly and surprised me. Don't give up hope, but I can say that speaking about it often won't change ANYTHING. Things have only changed in my life for the better when I let it go and wait for Him to change and sometimes I change in the process. In our case, my husband who was opposed to many children now wants lots and I decided I had enough. lol Allow God to change his heart and yours will change in the process. You have time for more children...this is an area that God is calling you to trust Him in and He opens and shuts your womb. Trust me this is VERY hard, but God is gracious and He knows what you need even more than you do.
Thank you for this, I am a wife and mother of 3 dealing with a lapse of health from disease. I found myself calling out to the lord in the darkest of times, but your videos here and on Kelli's channel have encouraged me to explore my faith more and pray in the good times, not just the bad. I pray that you will be blessed with the family you desire, you are both good, deserving people ❤
"Why are you downcast, O my Soul, why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him..." This echoes Psalm 23, where it says "You restore my soul." The opposite of God restoring our soul is being downcast. I didn't begin to understand Ps 23 until I got sheep. Downcast means: The sheep is upside down, for whatever reason. Maybe she slipped in a ditch and got stuck. But her feet are up in the air, and she can't wiggle left and she can't wiggle right. She is going to die if the shepherd doesn't come get her out. That's how I've felt at times. But as Scott said, you need to figure out what YOU can do RIGHT now. Keep going. Ask God to show you what to do.
Thank you so much for sharing this- it's such a great picture and made me laugh a little with the thought of your helpless sheep and that is how we are and why we need our Good Shepherd =)
I hadn't had a sheep be downcast, thankfully. But being around the sheep and understanding their psyche, it all makes sense. And the thought of my sheeps being downcast (or anything else wrong) just tears me up inside because I love my baby sheeps so much. When you bottle feed them, they become absolute babies. And they will be my babies forever. I know that "baby sheeps" isn't proper English. That's just what I call them. Even though several of them have now had babies, they are still my baby sheeps. They come running when they hear me.
Good idea on the name change.
Scott & Kelli, thank you both for another enlightened video! You both are truly a blessing!
The standard American Wife on TH-cam has such a amazing testimony about dealing with infertility all her 20’s and 30’s and now in her 40’s God has opened her womb. You two are great and I look forward to your videos.
Praise God for His providence - this was a perfectly timed message from the Lord to me. Thank you both. ❤🙏🏼
And I love the new channel name!
It's the podcast name =) Sorry, should have clarified our youtube is staying the same.
@@ScottandKelli Ah - gotcha! ☺
I clicked on this SO fast. I needed this so bad!! It's been a very hard month. 💔
Hi Leandra, so sorry to hear you've had a hard month. We hope you were encouraged and we pray the Lord's blessing on you
What a beautiful couple. You have so blessed me. Thank you :D
I want to remarry so bad! I am divorced and I pray that the Lord will bless me with a godly man and a godly, Christ-centered marriage one day, if it his will for me. I know that I sinned, because I divorced my ex-husband, and I know that my potential husband commits adultery if he marries me, because I am divorced. And what man would want that, right? The other thing is, I don't want to have any more children, because I already have 3, and bedsides, I am already 41. So, what if the godly man I so wish for myself, would like to have children????? By the way, I just love your channel and you two, you seem like such a nice couple, and I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart!!! ❤😊
Thank you, good timing on this one
You two are great. I love to listen to you.
I know how much you love readying. I just read an amazing book called “Supernatural childbirth” by Jackie Mize. All about faith as it relates to conception and birth. It’s also accompanied with beautiful testimonials ❤
Yes! We've read this book =) Thank you Jolene for thinking of us!
Just curious, would you guys say you are Lutheran?
Hi! No we are not =)
