Prayer Warrior Wednesday
I need some prayer for my attitude. I have been very confused lately on if our family is complete with 3 kids or if we should try for another. I love babies, always have, but babies grow up. Do I want more children? I don’t know. Brian says at this point in time he is done, but does not want to do anything permanent. We are young and he does not want to go down that road yet. I like to plan things and not knowing where we stand on this is driving me crazy. I want control. I know that we are not in control, that God is, but I still want to meddle. I have people telling me we will have more and people telling me that we should be done. I don’t want to listen to either side! I just want to be able to talk and pray about this with my husband. I want to know what the Lord thinks. I just haven’t been able to get there really. My stubborn attitude is in the way and it’s saying we are having another baby no matter what. That is not where I want to be on this. I want clarity, but I ultimately want to be at peace and have contentment with what I have. I need prayer to get me there, because I cannot do this on my own. I don’t want to have these little seeds of bitterness towards my husband on this issue turn into full out hatred and resentment. So that is what I need prayer on right now.

I will keep you in my prayers.
I have been where you are now. It was so hard for my husband and I to make the decision whether or not to have more babies after two.
I pray that you find the answer.
Praying for you with a heart that understands. HUGS

Ooh, this totally goes along with what I posted yesterday. I basically said that I want to know if/who I’ll marry and it’ll make my life more easy. But really, would it? For me, it’s a matter of control as well…when we’ve been called to trust God.
i know you probably don’t want others telling you what to do, but i have found in my own life, that God answers my prayers through personal promptings and feelings, and in the past when it came to having kids, I just had this urge and feeling that we were suppose to have another and that I wanted another.
I also beleive that those feelings of wanting another, are spirit children whispering to you that they want to join your family, call me crazy, but I believe that.
follow your heart, God will bless you in your deciscions (can’t spell that word for some reason)
When something nags at you like this, it can be really hard to let it go for a while. Sometimes just knowing you have friends that you can express this to can help ease that frustration. Having people who understand what you’re going through or can just listen to you can help. I hope by your blogging and getting some response and support helps you have patience. People trying to tell you what to do can make it worse. They should just listen and let you vent. In the meantime, enjoy the family you have because you are fortunate to have them. (see? Even I’m trying to tell you what to do!)

Prayers said – that you find contentment even in the twilight zone, where things aren’t black and white and you just want to know the answers…
I am always praying for you and I am here anytime that you need or want to vent. I hope I don’t give you too much advice, if I do I apologize, sincerely V, I just want to help.
I know that God will lead you to clarity in His time. Until then know that you are surrounded by people who love you tons!
