After reading the psychic thread, my heart just ached for those women who turned to that for answers, so I prayed about it and I felt God asking me to say someething, to encourage them , so I wrote this in that thread

Since coming to this forum, I have had so much support from you all and have come to love you as Sisters, so it is with a heavy heart that I say this...
It hurts my soul to know that you are trusting your bodies, your fertility to a psychic. They are not where you should be going for answers. They are not of God. They are not saying things for your good (Deuteronomy 18:10-11, Leviticus 19:31) . They take your trust away from the One who can give you true hope. God wants to give you the desires of your heart (Psalms 37:4). He will give you what is best for you. All you need to do and to love and trust Him (Romans 8:28).
I'm not meaning to preach or condemn. I know how desperate you all are. I am as desperate to be PG, to hold my child, to be a mother that I know God has given me the desire to be. I just want to encourage you as best I can to hold on to hope and to the One who is the source of that hope, Jesus Christ.
I love you all...but He loves you so much more (John 3:16)
I feel that you were requesting feedback on your response, so I will give you my honest opinion. I feel that you were wrong to post what you did where you did. It is one this to post on a clearly Christian site your views, but it is not right to pass judgement on others in a different venue. I believe that another lady on this thread was given the same advice when she tried to post an opposing view from Christianity here. We need to respect each other and our beliefs and not pass judgement on them. I wouldn't be surprised if you got some negative feedback from your post.
I don't think you were doing anything without purity of heart or that you indended to offend, but sometimes people on the receiving end may not feel the same way.

wow, wow, wow - OP here - I obviously dropped the ball in keeping up with this conversation...I didn't think this would cause such a discussion (not that it's bad) so I didn't even think to come back and check.
The reason I did? I am feeling pretty low right now - a lot of good news is coming to a lot of good people on a thread I am part of and I am feeling jealous and sad for myself and knew it wasn't right or fair and I needed a dose of God. Even though it might not have been your goal, the conversation that was sparked between your brilliant minds left me with a lot of good scripture to read - and more importantly that I needed to hear tonight. Or hear again tonight, maybe is more accurate.
Kat, thanks for brining up prayer - I was always raised that scripture and prayer go hand in hand. I'm not very good at letting go and letting God, but I sure can ask and listen.
Thanks again ladies. Blue balls too - love it...a dose of humor for the moment is very appreciated!

Stephanie-
I think we all understand those bad days, at least I assume we all do!!! I will pray for you today...
God I just lift Stephanie up to you, I ask you that you give her a special touch just from you. Send someone her way to give her the hug that some of us would or some extra humor into her day. Please help her as she struggles through a hard time. God we know you can do all things, and we ask that in your time you give Stephanie baby #2, and until that time you give her supernatural peace and faith. Thank you for all you have done, help us use our lives to glorify you, in Jesus name, amen!
Lately I am holding onto John 14:27
Also, on the TTC buddies forum there is a christian thread... come on over!
