We just got back from a weekend retreat through my former Church (and still my parent's Church) and we've both reached a turning point in our lives, finding a lot of emotional and spiritual healing. I won't go into that great detail (I have other blogs that do that), but there was a lot of baggage we had inflicted on us by other people that we were able to deal with, both of which could be spiritual strongholds keeping us from physical wholeness. I have no doubt we were touched by a heavenly presence, and that we heard God's voice.
Our former pastor said he's seen many cases where overcoming some of the things we did has led to pregnancy. I'm learning not to hang my hopes on anything, but it is encouraging. And even if pregnancy isn't a direct result, I know we will be better parents for having been healed in this way.
And more wonderful news from this weekend, my sister had her second baby girl on Friday the 24th. Another little angel I've fallen in love with. I wish the timing had been better because we only got to see her for less than an hour before we had to drive a few hours away to get to the retreat on time, and then she had already been released from the hospital by the time we got home this afternoon. I will not be able to resist driving the 1.5 hrs there and back to visit her during the week, I just can't wait until next weekend to see her again.
