God's Will

Here's a questions to ya... How should we interpret God's Will for something that we desire?

Do we sit there and be passive or do we be proactive?

I've been talking to a few people about our decision to add another blessing to our family. How do I interpret God's Will in this situation?? Some say I've been too proactive for it to be God's will. I sit here pondering on what should or shouldn't be done.

Do we obstain from having sex? or Do we try? How do you end up in a compromise of the two?? Does it even make sense to have sex and not try?? Because I believe that using Birth Control is really taking things into your own hands.

I left that issue to God, quite literally. I prayed that if it were His will we would have more kids. I got pregnant three times and had three miscarriages. I truly believe that if the Lord wants you to have a large family, you will! I mean it was like this. "Lord, if it is Your will for us, then let me get prenant in the next three months." Didn't get pregnant. "Ok, Lord, I know you mean to do things in your own time. Three more months?" Not pregnant. "Anytime, now, Lord!" I got pregnant and had a miscarriage. Tried again, miscarriage. Tried again, landed in the ER and almost died having a miscarriage. "Got the message, Lord!" We're done! :)

This is a Blog of my Christian walk as a Homeschooling Housewife. A young mother of 3 rambunctious boy, they are gifts from God. "Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate." Ps 127:3-5
