Are we going to have a thread for pregnant ladies again?

What about a girls name? :scratch I have 4 girls, I only think in pink :pound



:lol2 You know, my last 4 have been girls. I prayed for a boy though before this one was conceived. Seems like the Lord has granted my requests when I have asked. I've tried looking for a girl's name and just can't. :idunno Usually that has meant that I heard right and don't need to.

I hope it works out for you like that. It never did for me. I always had boys names picked out and struggled with girls names. I also always ended up with girls :doh I love God's sense of humor :pound

I just found out I'am pregnant, and I have two already. I never thought I would have three I have to ask a question. Do you sometimes wounder with your kids what their future will be like? Will they ever grow up?

Yep, I'd have to say it has crossed my mind, but on the other hand, I know what God says about children and I know ours are being raised to be a light for Him. I know if he taries, their lives are going to possibly be much harder than ours have been, but that is where grace comes in. My mom likes to tell me that God does not give dying grace on non-dying days. I believe God will give my children and us the grace to deal with what ever lays ahead. I've already seen them be very bold, especially my oldest who has witnessed to friends on the bus and wants to go on mission trips to other countries. My 11yo daughter likes to wear Jesus shirts to school, which is a public school. My 9yo son does the same thing. They aren't perfect, but they are headed in the right direction and they are bold about it.

What bothers me is the number of christians I run across that have embraced the worlds view of children and limit their families for purely selfish reasons. Like wanting all the material possesions and "toys". Our kids have what they need and some of their wants, but not all. I'm storing up my treasure in heaven, afterall my children are eternal beings. I get to spend eternity with all 12 of them. I will not stand in judgement over anyone else though who chooses to only have a couple because people do that to me all the time and I hate it. That decision is between them and God and no one else, just like our decision to let God give us the children he wants us to have was between my husband, me and God. Guess I'll step off my soapbox now, didn't mean to get so long winded. I'm rather pasionate about this sort of thing. :)
