Heather, (love that name BTW)
I to also heard it takes time after your off BC, it has to get out of the system and that can take months. I will be praying for God to bless you with the very breath of heaven. But God's seasons for such a blessing are worth the wait. In the mean time pick out godly names for a boy or a girl, maybe twins? LOL! Kill two birds with one stone.....LOL!
I have a precious granddaughter that is 3 yrs. old. and from the very moment of birth, she had been stripped and anointed with oil and prayed over. Even her crib was anointed before she laid her head down to rest/sleep. Her name is Chasiti Logan Lowery, which means "pure women of God climbing into leadership. She was prophesied over when she was 3 months old. When she was 2 1/2 yrs. old she asked me for her first bible. When I bought it for her age group, I said Lord when you're ready, send her to me for it. Three weeks later she did. And a couple of months ago, she was sitting in the bed with me with our usual prayer time and she was asking Jesus to bless the sick and hungry children, and telling Jesus how much she loves HIM and blowing HIM kisses for HIM to catch from her and put in HIS pocket, and all of a sudden she started having the speaking of tongues/utterance. Which thoroughly shocked me cause she's never witnessed the speaking of tongues. I keep that part of my prayer life in private. But all of a sudden she grabbed her little chin and said Gah Gah did you see me mouth. What's wrong with me mouth? It went bob bob bob bob. And I said I don't know honey, just keep praying to Jesus. This Child from the get go has had such an unbelieveable passions to love her Jesus. I can't even get me a glass of tea without her asking me, Gah Gah did you thank Jesus for that tea? LOL! This child daily walks/talks about her Jesus. Kissing her bible, kissing the cross around my neck, plans saturday what she's wearing to church Sunday. And she's been like this since she was 6 mths. old with a vocabulary 38 words. Doctors say she's 1-2 years ahead of the norm. When I asked my Pastor (who dedicated her to God) about her speaking in tongues and this can only happen with the presence of the Holy Spirit, and he said Carol, John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit in the womb, so yes it's possible Carol that Chasiti is filled with the Holy Spirit and I believe Christ just gave you comformation that Chasiti is by you being bless to witness it.
So what I'm saying by this Heather, is to start praying over your child now. Ask God what name HE wants you to name your child. That's what my daughter did. My daughter said God gave her that name for her when she herself was 4 years old. She named her baby dolls that. But start covering your child now with prayer and blessings from God. Pray for God to use your child to glorify HIM. Plead for a hedge of protection to surround your child as God gets ready to speak your blessing into existence and knit it together in your womb. Power up in Christ, and start covering your child now, and as soon as it is born, cover your child in anointing oil and prayer, and as soon as possible, get your child dedicated to Christ.
Just a little mothering in Christ as Bonnie says.....BTW that was good Bonnie!
God Bless/I'm praying for a healthy baby in Jesus name.
Kudos HIM,
