It’s much easier to raise a Christian than it is to convert one. Hence, the reason Islam is growing like a weed...no birth control.

I have to remember that there are three people involved in this decision: God, my husband and myself. My husband is concerned about my age, my emotional state for months after having a baby and the size of babies that I have (the last two were 10#s and 11.5#s-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094700953309998492.post-62281441768713392102015-01-22T22:06:33.956-05:002015-01-22T22:06:33.956-05:00This post really spoke to my heart.

And then, The Lord began to work on my heart and then my husband's. We began to pray for direction and His will and somehow, even though we thought we were still being careful, we ended up pregnant and are now thrilled that our sweet Sera Grace will be joining us in a few Veronicahttp://www.anupstreamlife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094700953309998492.post-19037964123176473282015-01-22T21:23:27.881-05:002015-01-22T21:23:27.881-05:00I think the weirdest feeling is looking back at ol...I think the weirdest feeling is looking back at old family pictures, before your youngest was born, and wondering, "How could we not have known s/he was missing?"

I've taken to just shrugging my shoulders because I really don't know how to answer. Some days I do, some (hard) days I don't want to look at another baby ever again.

Also, someone may not "want" more children, but if God brings another into their family, that desire will change and they won't be able to imagine their family without that person!normaleverydaylifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16148273819794381557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4094700953309998492.post-45455802229661456192015-01-22T10:28:51.858-05:002015-01-22T10:28:51.858-05:00As the mother of 14 I agree wholeheartedly.
