Families that attend church believe that is 3 or more is the better size. That makes me happy to think that the next generation or two could see a trend toward decidedly more conservative and religious families.zekesmom10https://www.blogger.com/profile/18306663360882200853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12457504.post-34676590252521256082010-11-08T10:25:06.591-08:002010-11-08T10:25:06.591-08:00I think God speaks to each family individually as ...I think God speaks to each family individually as to what is best for them. We aren't to judge someone's quiver-full of two any more then one's quiver-full of 11. We will be done after this one #4 and we believe that this is best for our family. In my world most of my friends have only 2 or 3 and think we are crazy for having 4. :)Terrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16937958636017729163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12457504.post-73087252061778097562010-11-06T14:35:00.835-07:002010-11-06T14:35:00.835-07:00I love this, "go to the Father and then just ...I love this, "go to the Father and then just obey." I don't believe God has a one-size fits all approach to our families.

Then in college I was told I'd need fertility drugs anyway. But even as a little girl, no matter my current interests or goals, there was no question- ever- that I wanted to marry and be a mother. So my husband & I had planned to adopt before we were even married.<br /><br />Three years after marriage, I became pregnant. When I took the pregnancy test, while I was waiting for that result to appear, I nervously prayed the Lord's Prayer. "Thy will be done." It was positive, and I was ecstatic. Everyone else was worried. There were warnings of the possibility of severe deformation, a lengthy hospital stay, probable miscarriage... But I honestly don't remember ever being afraid.<br /><br />I had 4 high risk pregnancies, each with their own little troubles, and all C-sections. But all of my children are happy and healthy. I too had a tubal, and it was one of the hardest decisions of my life. I still have a hard time, wondering if my decision was based on wisdom or distrust, and I'm not sure where the line is between the two for me. But I know now that I need to focus more on the children we've been blessed with, and I am so grateful that God saw fit to grant the desire of my heart.sophiaofthracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16067901674637218841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12457504.post-66971785887787495132010-11-05T22:06:39.212-07:002010-11-05T22:06:39.212-07:00another great post my friend :) I totally agree.another great post my friend :) I totally agree.stephanie rnoreply@blogger.com
