QF Carnival #4
It is that time once again to share more testimonies and stories from others. I pray that you are touched and blessed by those who are sharing the work of the Lord in their lives.
TF at Made from Scratch shares her journey. She says “I told J what I had been reading, and we read scriptures in the Bible together that concerned having children and trusting God completely, we talked about it and we both knew this was the way we wanted to live. We wanted to show God how much we loved him, We wanted to trust Him in every aspect of our life. Having children shouldn’t be any different. I refuse to make excuses anymore. No matter if I have 2 children or 10, I will accept them joyfully, and I won’t forget for one second how blessed we are.” Read more of her article, Living a Quiverfull lifestyle.
Lisa shares, “One of our family’s passions is letting others know about our conviction to let GOD plan our family. Of course our beliefs must always be Scripturally aligned with our convictions, which is why we seek out GOD’s opinion on the issues first and foremost.” Take a moment and read the rest of her post, Obedience Results in Blessings of Children.
One of our newest blogroll members is Raani. She addresses several questions often asked of those who hold this conviction of God’s sovereignty over the womb. Stop by and see what she has to say as a means of Answering the Questions.
Quiver Mamma shares, “Early in our Christian walk we also learned that walking in obedience to the word of God brings blessings. People often say that life does not come with an instruction manual, but it does, and it is called the Bible! And when we step out in obedience and apply the word of God to our lives, great things happen. When we trust in Gods promises for us and our lives he fulfills them. And this was the backdrop for what became our quiverfull conviction.” Read the rest of her story, Yes, We are Quiverfull.

Awhile ago, you shared your family’s testimony on your convictions to reverse your decision to stop having children. That testimony sparked a journey in my own family. I had been praying for months that the Lord would lead us as a family to obey Him. My husband had also previously altered his condition so we could no longer bear children. The Lord led his heart to tell me he had the desire for more! I had kept my prayers to myself because I wanted it to be the Lord’s leading. By way of many open doors, and finding a Dr. on the website you had mentioned, He provided the funds for us to have the reversal! I am humbled to say we are ready to go wherever God takes us and we TRUST HIM completely and pray that His will be done in our lives! My husband had his surgery last week and it was a miracle, the entire process was covered by the Lord! So, thank you for sharing these other blogs as I am blessed by all of the testimony’s I have read so far!

I love your Carnivals! I have been using them to search and search for God’s will for our family. Thank you for the time and effort you put into making these testimonies so accessible.

I visit your blog frequently and really enjoyed it. Before my husband and I were married we both agreed on family and children. Our extended families did not agree with us to put it nicely. After having our third child, I had my tubes tied. We both regreted it almost immediately. After my husband joined the army, we looked into a reversal. From request of a surgery through testing the military required to the date of the surgery was less than 3 months. A wonderful miracle! Many times we were told that it never happens that fast and many times the request is denied. My husband is currently in Iraq and we aren’t pregnant at this point. Even our children are praying for a baby! Now we are also away from family now, that helped relieve the stress. Still in Texas though. These type of posts are very encouraging, keep them coming!
