Jim and I have found a WONDERFUL church home here in Oklahoma City and have become a part of one of their House Churches (like Community Group for you Fellowshippers out there!) that meets twice a month. Jim and I didn't want to waste any time in trying to get pregnant again and knew I'd be ovulating around the time of one of our House Church meetings. We went to the meeting on Wednesday, September 22nd. At the end when we were sharing prayer requests, I asked Jim if it would be ok to share about our miscarriage in August and have them pray that we would successfully conceive a healthy baby soon. God was certainly in that room that night, no doubt. We have some amazing prayer warriors in the group. After the group prayer, the women wanted to come over and lay hands on me to pray for me specifically. Our precious boys were conceived later that night. I just cried as I typed that. What a blessing and miracle prayer is for those who believe. Jim and I both had every confidence in our most awesome Heavenly Father that we had been a part of His process in creating new life that night. My Mom came out to visit the next day and I wondered the whole time if God was truly working that miracle in my womb.
A few weeks after they were conceived, when it was still a few days too soon to take a test, one of the ladies at work said she looked at me and thought (I think it was God!) "Chrissa's pregnant", but she didn't tell me. One of the other ladies at work had a dream that same night that she was holding a pregnancy test that said "pregnant", yet she thought in the dream, "Why do I have this? This isn't for me, I need to give this to Chrissa". When I took my test a few days later and it was positive, that's when they both shared that with me. What was neat about Bobbi's dream was that I had bought the digital kind of test that says "pregnant" or "not pregnant" rather than the +/- or the kind with one or two lines. That was the type that was in her dream.
I feel so unworthy at times to begin this incredible new role in my life. How will I balance feeding, changing, bathing, clothing, nurturing, cuddling, loving, teaching these two precious boys? God knows and I fully trust and rely on that. I still can't fathom this great thing He has done for us, but I will rest in knowing that He sees us fit. May we never take for granted all He has done for us and will do as we begin this parenting journey of twin boys.
