"..I am here to tell you that this life is not our own. This body is not our own. And who are we really living for?
The reality is that God only gives one (maybe three) babies at a time (naturally that is). There is a ten month preparation time. And our fertility isn't forever. God opens and closes our wombs. Menopause does happen. And when it does, we miss what we don't have (I'm sure Sarah went through this phase, yet God still opened her womb at an old age).
God might decide to give you one baby and he might decide to give you twenty. We just never know what He has planned or has in store for us. If we don't trust Him to decide, we will never know. We do have a choice. A choice to live life in our own hands or to trust Him.
...
We can simply live for the culture. By their rules. By their limitations. By their standards. Or we can live by God's. We can live for God. In His best. In His timing. And in His supernaturally possible.
What an honor it is to use our bodies as a vessel to bring forth life God creates. To know that the baby inside of us is fearfully and wonderfully made. That this baby has a plan and a purpose. An eternal plan. A greater plan than we can ever give them. That this isn't our children, but rather God's and we get to be a part of God's greater plan. We get to be the vessel He uses.
As women, our bodies were made for this. He chose us to procreate. He created us to bring forth life. He created us fertile with hearts of mothers. Let's start celebrating the short-lived years of fertility and trusting God to give as He pleases. Because no matter what, every single addition is of great blessing." -Karissa Collins
