Okay, okay, okay, okay. Everyone calm down, I am not going to tell you to have over 10 kids. I am not even going to tell you a specific number! But, there are very many factors that should be accounted for. At least I think so.
When I first started college, I made an oath to wait for marriage and wait for kids. I wanted to be finically stable and completely ready. Well...There is NO such thing as completely ready for kids. It took me awhile to understand why, when another huge bullet was thrown into my face, I shouldn't be the only one who has a say on how many kids I will have. Now, I know all my readers...all of my 2 readers; are sweating bullets. It's actually quite simple.
I strongly encourage everyone to add Heavenly Father in these life changes. I strongly encourage everyone to take the path that He wants for you. There is a quote I really like about how He will never give you anything that he hasn't provided away for you to get through. He wants to shape us and build us up because He knows what we can be. Why wouldn't we obey that? Well that is dumb of me to say because I can imagine that these things are still hard even when we know He has provided a way. But just think for a second. If we added Him in this equation, things would always work out.
Parents, we have such an opportunity to take care of God's children! I mentioned before but how neat is that! He is trusting us to take care of his children. I know that seems almost overwhelming but also powerful. Include Him in your choices and include your spouse of course but just because things seem unstable or school is in the way, that is Satan working overtime and putting doubts in your head. You and your spouse should understand the incredible responsibility, potential, and love that could come from putting Him in your decision making for having kids.
