The Counts Family Testimony
Hello
to all.....
Amazing Love how can it be
That you my King have died for me
Amazing Love I know its true
And its my joy to honor You.
In all I do, I honor You. We realized that is what this ministry and our walk with God has allowed us to see. In all we have done, we had not honored Him. After having our 3rd daughter ( I previously had 2 when we got married), we had questioned the idea and thought of having another child. After speaking with our doctor, he felt the only thing we could do was to have a tubal ligation. This was due to the fact that most of the birth control I had tried to use had issues with it. At that time in our marriage and life, we were young in the Lord and did not realize there was the "Great Advisor and Doctor" above that we should have went to first. We spoke of wanting more children but were mostly pressured into assuming this was the only thing in our life that was possible for us at that point. It surprised me how fast the insurance company would pay for this and with no problems. When the day came for the surgery, I sat and looked out the window on the way to the hospital thinking, "Why are we doing this?" and I could feel my heart break and the tears slowly drop from my eyes as I knew this was not what I should be doing. I looked over to the trees and saw how alive they looked on that breezy, sunny day. They were beautiful and that was something I knew I was not feeling and would not feel for a long time. I cried from that moment until I went home after the surgery. Of all the hurtful things we have been through, taking the ability to have children away was the worst. It was only within our soul searching and following what God had planned for us, that we were able to see that it was something we knew we had to reverse and correct
Having shared that, I come back to this beautiful and so true song above. God's
love has been amazing for us. There are many days we question how He could have
died for us considering the things that we have done to Him. He is forgiving and
faithful and I know He has plans for our household to be complete in having this
reversal. It is His road that He has opened for us to follow. It is our joy to
follow Him and ask Him first now. We ask and wait to hear His wonderful
instructions. We do not soley rely on the doctors, etc. but search within to see
what beauty lies next. My husband and I have been married 7 years and know there
are many more strong years ahead for us, regardless of the stumbles that we may
come upon. We were brought to Blessed Arrows for more reasons than we have been
shown so far. We await to see what God has in store for us
next!
Thank you all who are helping with our funding and for your prayers. Soon, we
will be complete and feel that we are also a beautiful tree......alive and so
pure! God bless Donald and Cherie
