One night I opened my Bible, not sure what I was looking for, but it opened on 1 Samuel 1. I read that chapter, and I could relate to Hannah so much! I prayed again for a son, and promised that if God would give me one, I would raise him for the Lord, and give him back when it was time. God spoke to me that night. I knew that I would have a son. I knew that I would name him Samuel, and I know that one day, he will be required of me. Two days later, I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. I knew that it was a son and at the 20 week scan, we found out it was a boy. I'm very sure that my little man will be a missionary one day, and I constantly pray for God's wisdom in raising him.

My husband had a vasectomy 14 months ago. It was one of those decisions that I had to submit to his will on but I long for more children. I didn't (and still don't) think it was the right decision. I prayed, and he prayed, and he felt that God was telling him to get it done, but I felt like God was saying to trust Him and leave it in His hands. We have 6 wonderful children that bring so much joy to our lives. For the past 14 months I have been earnestly praying for God to take away this desire if it is not from Him, yet the desire remains. So I pray for a miracle. I know God can get past a vasectomy but I'm so uncertain if it's my will or God's will for us to have more children. I'm so confused and hurt and I NEVER want to end up resenting my husband for his decision. I’m in the same situation. My husband had a vasectomy 14 months ago.

We know that the Biblical Rachel said to Jacob, "Give me children, or else I die!" We know that Hannah was in great distress when she prayed for a child; Eli thought she was drunk! You cite only your own thoughts when saying that painful yearning for a child is not of God.

If God wants you to have a baby, He will make it happen. You have plenty of time for that season of your life. Take advantage of this time to deepen your relationship with your husband and God. Pray for your husband to share your desires. Pray for insight into what your experiencing. If the yearning is painful, I can't help but think that it's not coming from God. Don't let this cause conflict between you and your husband. My advice could be flawed, as I am merely human. Best advice: pray, read God's word, pray, meditate on God's word, pray, enjoy your husband, pray, pray with your husband, pray! @ Rachel: considering your current situation I wouldn’t recommend “trying” to have a baby.

I guess the point is that everyone's definition of "normal" is different. Thank you for your insights and blog. I know you have given up on your blog a few times, but I hope you keep it up - for my own selfish reasons! :) I can totally relate to your post.
