on being humbled!!!!

Humility= having children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When giving birth to our firstborn child, I got toxemia (blood pressure rises,spilling protein, and possible danger for mom and baby.............so during delivery, a doctor (when I was in transition) came in with a class,since they had been studying toxemia. On any other day I would have said "GET OUT", but at that point I just didn't care.(oh yeah, this was after 36 hours of labor).
this was my first intro. to parenting humility............Of course, it gets better... being pooped on, puked on, talked back to, kids getting in trouble at school, etc.
When I was expecting our ninth child, I was humbled yet again...     but this time I spoke up. The Dr. wanted to do an amniocentesis on me because the Dr. thought she may have had downs syndrome. I knew what this entailed , so I refused this test! I was mocked and intimidated, and was told I needed to be prepared....even was told I could choose to end the pregnancy! At that point I told the Dr. that that was NOT an option!
I went home and was trying to figure it all out and be prepared. Then, I prayed !
I was still trying to help figure out how this would all work because the children were all young.
I decided to take a bath,   and when I got in the tub I heard in my heart..You don't trust me! TRUST ME were the next words!
Jill Briscoe's words echoed through my mind..."You can't He never said you could! He will, He always said He would"
Thats when God totally took the fear, and worry out of my heart!
I repented and realized I couldn't figure this out so I knew that God would supply all that was needed!
Bethany was my ninth child , but it didn't get any easier!! She was a breech baby, and the Dr. said he wanted to try a natural birth... but an anesthesiologist was standing over me in case things went wrong .
When I was in hard labor once again the medical students came in to observe as they were studying breech births! More humbling!!
My little beautiful baby girl was born safely..... butt first! When I would go to the nursery Id just tell them that the baby with her legs over her head was mine!
She was perfectly fine AND the Dr. later apologized to me for being rude!
He had also said that I was getting too old to have babies.....I was 35 at the time! Since then , I had five more children, with the last one born when I was forty five!
Nine boys, five girls! All creative , strong willed, confident, loving, artistic, some are great ballerinas, and I wouldn't trade any of them even with lots of drama and trauma and YES total humbling on my part !
It isn't always easy but I know Bill and I were obedient to what God had spoken to both of our hearts about having children.
For me, and the children I have learned... we haven't arrived. We are ALL in the middle of our testimony !!!
Jesus understands and He prays for us!!!
He ever lives to intercede for you"   Heb. 7:25
Thank you, Lord for helping me stay humble!!! I really need this and you gave me 14 children that make sure I don't start getting prideful!!!!!
