Anyone else leave their childbearing up to God?

I too keep wondering if our family is complete right now and how we can do so many more things with only two children. I think a biggie for us is we are really outdoorsy and are concerned that any more kids will stop our outdoor hobbies. I don't know anyone with more than 3 children let alone large families that are into the outdoors. Please continue to pray for us

One of my friends gave me "Be Fruitful And Multiply" by Nancy Campbell (Above Rubies), it has some very good points in it. I'm a firm believer in the KJV and used several different ones, but I kept my Bible with the book and looked everything up in context and in KJV to help my study. So while I felt it had a few problems, it was very encouraging. I gave my DH high lighted cliff notes, he didn't read it, but his heart was changed. He hates to read though.

Hi! My name is Monica and i have 5 amazing kids! I am always reading this board but never chat 😉 anyways... I want to leave it up to God to take control of my fertility and for him to bless me when ever he wants.. But my question is how can i do this when we live pay check to pay check? My hubby makes about 25k a year and i work from home on etsy... I want to allow God to work in me and to help me trust more but how!?

HIII!! Welcome!!

Monica, this year we made our highest income yet at 21,000 a yr. There were times when we were making 12,000-17,000 with 3-4 kids! God provides everything for us in miraculous ways and He always has! Pray for every need that you have and give Him all the glory. I recommend that you listen to the audio "How provide for a family of 19 kids with no salary" by Gil and Kelly Bates from IBLP. You can buy the MP3 for very little. This message is SOOOO wonderful!!! Also send me a Facebook friend request if you want to. My name is Christina Cosgrove from Petal, MS.

You amaze me! I trust God and I am usually good at that... I have seen him providing for our family always.. I guess my family will be the problem! I really want to move to another state where non of my family lives so that I way I can feel free... if they come over and I have no food they start complaining and talking saying i have to many kids.... they dont get it. I enjoy having my family and I feel blessed! My husband feels the same .. my first 3 are from my previous marriage my last 2 are from my now husband!

We are 3 soon to be 4 (6 person family)living on 25k a year. My husband and I don't have fancy cars or a big fancy house but God always provides for us, sometimes better than those who are so focused around money. My husbands job is in medical supplies and is the only factory around that has not laid off. His job is nice because he has off weekends and nights so he can be around with the kids. We left our childbearing up to God.

Let me second that! My brother and his wife just have one and take lots of nice vacations. He was hesitant to tell me where he was going just recently because he felt bad. I told him I love what I do and he didn't have to be embarassed to tell me. My treasures are eternal!!! The vacation always ends at some point. Plus I know he would love to have one more and his wife isn't sure about that. I'd rather have my 6 anyday...(well, most days ).

We don't live fancy at all either! We are very simple! We just decided to leave it up to God!he knows what is best for us!
