I love this chapter, because now having children is a burden!! Children are seeing as something to awful and expensive to have!!
I am so happy that I have been blessed with 4 daughters and that they are growing together, having fun as sisters!!! The Lord never abandons us when we put our children into His hands!!! We are called to be moms and to raise a new generation of amazing people that trusts only in the Lord!!
Amen Isabella!! And for the moms please visit Isabella at Homegrown for amazing resources for children and for the family https://homegrownministries.com/. I have 2 older sisters and it’s sooooo awesome to have sisters!!!! Your girls are so blessed to have each other Isabella 🙂
Thank you Atarah, yes these days people do not want children or only one. I was also there, I only wanted one, but I was also scared to have children. Fear that I think stemmed from my childhood. When my daughter turned 2, He placed a desire in my heart to have a brother or sister for my daughter and I stopped using birth control (playing god over my womb) and my son was born a month before I turned 40 :):), (we only got married when I turned 35). I had high blood pressure and eventually preeclampsia during both my pregnancies and instead of trusting Him with my health, I trusted the doctor who told me that it would be a risk for me to have another and that he must sterilize me when my son is born. So that is what happened, because I had to have c-sections due to preeclampsia, he sterilized me while I was opened up during my son’s c-section.
Oh Adina I have heard so many women speak about being sterilized, in my mom’s case she said said she had her tubes tied, but she still fell pregnant with my brother!! You are reminding me about this because I heard it when I was younger but I really need to ask her about it!!!
Even though I had 3 miscarriages and prayed for the Lord to bless me with children, after I had my first two boys I went on birth control. They are 2 years apart. I would stay on them off and on but after years I finally stopped taking them. I became pregnant again when my oldest was almost 12 years old and I was 35! I wasn’t disappointed, I was excited. A few months before I delivered, I was talked into to signing papers to have my tubes tied afterwards. Luckily I backed out of that just a week or so before. I still had a rod stuck in my arm (birth control) after I delivered though. It did no good with my emotions. I was mad and sad all the time and also gained about 50lbs! After 1 year, I had it removed and haven’t been on any type in the last 7 years. I wish now I had let the Lord take control of my womb instead of me trying to take over.
Thank you for sharing. 💕
Oh Hope me toooo!! I so wish that I had read this lesson years earlier, we have been soooo indoctrinated by the ways and values of this world and its all a lie. But… PRAISE Him!! As older women we can teach and encourage the younger women and share our experiences and faults with them while they are still young!!
Atarah, I would LOVE to be a guest on your Podcast for this chapter and then add it to the lesson for future guests to listen to.
Having been blessed with 10 babies, 3 of whom are with the Lord, I have experienced and witnessed firsthand how powerful the schemes of the enemy have been at preventing GOD’S greatest blessings, children, from being born—and it’s only getting worse.
We need to come together like this and speak the TRUTH for our children and those who are still in their childbearing years.
Erin I would LOVE to!!! I’m going to schedule a calendar event for next Tuesday then you can either accept or reschedule. This is soooo needed!!!!! Every women I’ve ever spoken to says the same thing, they dont want more kids and many young ppl these days dont want kids at all. We must speak the TRUTH.
