The Beaubien Family Testimony
I was really hurt. Here I wanted to obey the Lord, to let him determine the size of our family, and Denis wouldn't even talk about it. I started to get self-righteous. One day I was praying, "Lord, I want to obey You, but Denis doesn't! Please change his heart!". I saw only Denis' sin. As far as I was concerned, I was right, and Denis was wrong. Well, that very hour, the Lord showed me my heart... that I was responsible. I was the one who had pushed Denis into having the vascectomy, something he didn't even want. And I was the one who needed to make amends. I asked the Lord to forgive me. And then I asked Denis to forgive me. The change that came over his face was incredible. With my words, I freed him. He was able to take it to the Lord without my judgement on him. Denis prayed about it, and told me that he was willing to have a reversal. We checked into the costs, and they are way beyond us. So we checked into adoption. It's worse. Private or public adoption is way more than the cost of a reversal, and besides, I really want to have my own babies.. I actually WANT morning sickness, late nights, etc. I know that may sound crazy, but I really do. We have two beautiful children, and I love them so much, but I really want more. Denis is a sub-contractor, and he doesn't make tons of money. I know the Lord would provide for our needs with another child (or two, or three, or four... I am smiling here). But as it stands, our finances won't allow for a reversal. We are praying and believing for a miracle. We have found a local doctor who will provide the reversal. He performed one for another local family a few years ago. This will save us on travelling expenses. Please pray with us for a miracle in regards to the finances we will need. My heart breaks that we did what we did. I would do anything to change it. I had no idea what I would feel... knowing that we cannot have another child. We know that a reversal is not "guaranteed" to work, but our God is a big God, and I believe with my whole heart that He wants us to have more. I believe He will provide a way. If you are thinking about sterilization, please pray about it. The costs are way too high. I don't mean money either. I mean the cost to the soul. I pray each day that the Lord will reverse our situation. Love in Jesus, Lisa Beaubien. |
