Many people have strong opinions about the size of our family. We frequently get remarks such as "Don't you know what causes this? I guess you're through having children now. Are you pregnant AGAIN?"
Before we married, my husband and I searched the Bible for what God says about children, the womb, being barren, a godly seed, the covenant, and His provision for His people. We continue to look to the Bible for what God says about His people having children.
In answer to all such questions . . .
We have a spiritual conviction that we should not use any method of birth control.
Often friends and family will ask "HOW do you manage everything (without going crazy)?" Honestly, we work very hard. And we do feel overwhelmed when we try to manage in our own strength. But the Lord daily provides for our needs and we know that we really can find the strength to do all things through Christ.
We feel abundantly blessed, and we ENJOY His blessings!
