♕ Today's Promise: “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.” Psalm 55:22
~ From Anissa in Slovakia
Dear brides, I want to praise my Lord for his amazing love and how He cares about us. 3 weeks ago my second daughter was born! I had a great pregnancy without any problems, without any morning troubles and I believed for supernatural childbirth. I have to confess, even this second childbirth was twice faster, only 7 and 1/2 hour compared to my first 19 hour childbirth, it was not supernatural, pain free. The Lord knows the reason. Maybe my faith was too weak or my pride too strong. Anyway I praise my HH (Heavenly Husband) for all other things like pregnancy without any troubles, during the childbirth no episiotomy, no rupture and 3 hours later the baby was born I was walking in the hospital alone with no problems and the sisters could not understand how it is possible. My baby was born some days after the due day and had 3,540 kg and 49 cm, so no little baby. 🙂 And my time in the hospital was also very blessed and great. But my praise and thanks is the most for this following thing.
Since the moment I discovered my pregnancy I had a big fear. The baby was born when my first daughter had only one year and a half. I was afraid how my EH (earthly husband) will care about the first baby while I will be in hospital. Crazy, but this fear was very strong in me since the beginning and I was not able to get rid of it. More the due day was coming, more the fear was increasing. My first daughter was becoming very dependent on me, to the point when I went to the toilet. she was with my earthly husband and was incredible, crying for me and could not be without me any time. Second thing, I was not able to stop giving her breast milk. She refused any other milk and she was able to go to sleep only with my milk. So, the imagination my husband making her sleep without any milk was terrifying me.
Moreover, my EH started to have very bad relationships with his own family, parents or sister. And he was refusing the idea that some of them could help him while I will be in the hospital. When I wanted to talk with him about how he was to prepare for that moment or how he will deal with it, he got only angry with me. He said it is my problem. I am afraid and I should not care about it. Approximately 3 months prior the due day I came to the point of surrounding it with the Lord, because I had no solution. The biggest fear disappeared, I started to trust Lord that He will care about my baby but I had other struggles. How I will survive the time without my first daughter. I made a deal with my EH (earthly husband) to not call me when she will cry, otherwise I would not make it and in the worst case I would sign special papers and will leave from the hospital and not stay there 3 compulsory days.
Dear brides, Lord is an amazing Husband. When the childbirth started, I left to the hospital excited and totally without any struggles. The time in the hospital was great, exceptionally quick recovery, nice personal a super other mums in my room, I felt huge joy and peace, absolutely no fear about the first daughter and no anxiety for her. My EH (earthly husband) called me, they are doing very well, she was not at all crying for me and I could hear it from his voice that it is really true. One day later he called his sister for help, but she called me after few hours, they absolutely do not need her. During these three days my EH and my first daughter made a wonderful relationship, I could not dream about and my EH taught her to go to sleep without my breast milk!!! 🙂
Ó my sweet Husband, thank you so much. You are all I need! I love You!!
