(((((Mike))))) I'm praying for you right now.
God and His awesome miracles...the Reader's Digest version ala goldeylox...My childhood was less than ideal. Parents D when I was 3, custody goes to mom. Bad choice. At age 7, I was exposed to a Christian church for the first time. Throughout middle and high school, attended Youth Group at various churches, bumming rides from friends/neighbors. It was the only thing in my eff'd up life that was healthy. In an ironic twist, I ended up dating Catholic boys in HS, started going to Mass. Married a Catholic, and a year later was baptized. Here's the good part...before I turned it over to God, and accepted JC, true happiness was impossible. If this sounds true, keep reading.
I have seen women who should not be able to bear children become mothers. Sometimes the old-fashioned way, sometimes not. By the way you speak of D2, I know you believe in miracles, or at least angels.
Addicts recover. Hurts are forgiven. Hellish M sitch's are healed. (Not mine, I'm still waiting for my miracle). This board is a miracle, at least, it is for me.
Others with WAY more theological background could do a much better job of explaining, so please, if my simple approach has offended, I mean no offense.
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR. I used to pray for my H to change, for my M to improve, for God to remove my pain. For the last 4 or 5 years, I've prayed for the strength to follow God's Will. To surrender more. If you do this, God has a funny sense of humor and He will bring it to the party. Rarely does He bring you what you were expecting. Peace.
