Second Wind for Blogging

Sorry All it has been a while.... I realized, never being a blogger before that I was thinking way to hard about each post making it seem more like work that a fun experience.

So here I am again after a 2 month break of bdays, holidays, the awakening at IHOP, the One thing Conference, my husband traveling, working part time and the list could go on! I am excited to be back!! Never finished with part 2 of my last blog but just wanted to share quickly the amazing miracle of having Eliana.

It ended up that Ben met the best endometriosis doctor in the United States at a conference here at Ihop. He is a believer and prayed for me for three days and in the midst of that time he received a vision from the Lord about my womb and saw where exactly the disease was and how much time I had before a creative miracle would have to take place for me to ever consider having children.  He told me we need to have surgery ASAP.

He lived and worked in New York city and luckily my best friend was getting married in a couple of months about an hour from where he was so i decided to kill two birds with one stone (wow writing that out is actually really funny compared to saying it :) So we get everything in order, as far as flights, room and board, and insurance or so I thought.

Then about a week before we are supposed to leave I get a phone call from the Dr.'s office manager explaining that our insurance would not cover him as the physician because he was a specialty doctor.  She then went on to explain that we would need to hand her a check for $7,000.00 for the first part of the surgery. I immediately went into fear mode and my amazing husband decided that he wasn't going to follow me there.  So we pushed the furniture out of the way in our living room and decided to praise and adore the Lord.

Long story short within two days we were given double the amount of money we needed! Our hospital bill which was supposed to be at least $12,000.00 came in at $775.00 - AMAZING we just wrote a check and praised the Lord!! AND then found out later that I only had one functioning ovary and the other ovary only had ten percent left of it and by the time the Dr. had finished stitching up the one that had ten percent left in it, it had grown to be fully complete and whole!!

But the best part is that the first time we were able to try I became pregnant with my little Eliana, the joy and love of my life.  The end!! Well more to come the Lord has been speaking some amazing things about bringing up this little beauty of mine and connecting her heart to God her father, Jesus her savior and the Holy Spirit her best friend!!
