Cooperating with God

I'm reading the book "Sacred Marriage" by Gary Thomas. In it, he discusses how one meaningful aspect of marriage is cooperating with God to bring a child into being. It put on my heart the need to share a very personal story. Like, I couldn't even continue reading because the words wouldn't make sense because I just needed to write this, so here goes.
We had been told we couldn't have children. We went through fertility treatments and eventually were able to have our son who was followed a short two years later by his sister. We both felt our family was complete at that point and my husband had scheduled "the procedure". Two days before it was to take place he cancelled it. He said he didn't feel right doing something so permanent after we had prayed so hard to have children.
Just a couple weeks later, we found out we were expecting our third child. It wasn't exactly planned but we were okay with it. A few more weeks later and my doctor told me I had lost the baby, that he couldn't find the heartbeat. He wanted to do a procedure. I couldn't imagine. I argued with him, asking what if this and maybe only... He said my HCG was down to a 7, there was no way. I still refused the procedure and went home and cried and prayed and cried and prayed. A week later, I still didn't have any symptoms of a miscarriage. I went back to the doctor so he could see if I was okay. My HCG was in the thousands and the sound of a fetal heartbeat echoed through the entire room, even the nurse cried.
I can't explain my Kamryn girl, you would just have to know her. Born with skin abnormalities that the doctors never could figure out, she has survived near complete kidney failure at the age of 4, and now age 8 has proved almost every specialist wrong on every diagnosis she has received.
Kamryn is also my little evangelist, she will ask everyone in line at Pizza Hut on Sunday if they go to church and if they know Jesus. Her answer to every thing is God centered. (Her sister has to pick up the dog poop outside because God expects his grass to be clean). She doesn't say her prayers, she sings them, almost everytime. She doesn't leave anything out either.
I could make an entire blog on Kamryn. She is one of our 6 examples of cooperating with God, and oh how blessed we are to have her.

For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything. (2 Corinthians 2:9 ESV)

I don't know why I was led to share something so personal but if it helps just one, it's worth it to leave fingerprints.
