My Ministry?

I'm still not sure what ministry God has for me when I grow up. :)

However, I know that right now I enjoy loving on people who need me who are dealing with losing a baby. I think for this season this is my ministry.

So this last week, I posted my blog on Kelly's blog because she asked us to share our ministry through her "Show Us Your Life" blog she posts each Friday. This was a big step for me, but I did it after a lot of prayer. Interestingly, I had about 150 views that day! I was shocked! Having a miscarriage ministry right now is hard, but I do hope to have a house full of babies soon. I'm not pregnant yet, but I hope to be soon. God knows the desires of my heart!

That's my King,

Kim

*This song reminds me a lot of how I felt after the first miscarriage.

Two Miscarriages

I have not experienced the pain and suffering of many who have gone through things that are far worse than two miscarriages. I can't imagine how bad the pain and sorrow is for those who have struggled more than me. So, I want you to know I'm praying for you!

For me, this blog is a journal of scriptures and songs that have helped me when I've been sad. I haven't shared this blog with many, so this is a big step for me!

My bible study group is reading Lies Women Believe: and the Truth that Sets Them Free.

One of the lies is that "God is Not Really Good. If He Were, He Would..."

It's hard to imagine that ALL things are done for God's good, but that's the truth - plain and simple.

No matter what you are going through. God means it for His good!

Psalm 119:68 (New Living Translation)

⁶⁸ You are good and do only good;
teach me your decrees.

Romans 8:28-39 (New Living Translation)

²⁸ And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

Romans 8:38-39 (New Living Translation)

³⁸ And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. ³⁹ No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

No matter what you are going through, I want you to know that God is Good all the time and nothing can separate you from his love!

That's My King,

Kim

I'm absolutely in love with the song I'm posting today! It's my message to you!

One Year Later...

I can't believe I began this blog one year ago today on Valentine's Day! Happy Anniversary, My Arms are Open!

This anniversary meets me at a time of frustration and new understanding. I've been upset lately because I'm tired of all the negative pregnancy tests. I know I shouldn't take them, but I'm a very impatient person! I just want to know - six or five days in advance! My..My! My bank account doesn't like it either!

New Understanding: My mom reminded me this weekend that God is a "jealous" God. If I want a baby more than I want Him, that will make Him jealous! So, I'm so glad she put my perception into perspective. Once again, my arms are open to God's plan - not mine!

Exodus 34:14 (New King James Version)

¹⁴ (for you shall worship no other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God),

That's My King,

Kim

* I've had this song downloaded for a few months, but it didn't phase me that the song referred to "me" as a tree, which I find interesting because I've been looking up verses about that for the last two years - interesting! How did I not notice that?!?!
