Yay!! My first child arrived 11 months after we were married! He was and always has been a blessing to me! I imagine that my other son and his new wife will try to start their family soon as well!

My son just got married to &quot;little Ms. Wondeful&quot; on Saturday! That&#39;s MY name for her...she is pretty wonderful! I hope you&#39;re fine! We&#39;ve been so busy, too! I just read some of your recent posts...I also love the tractors drivng around, old fashioned values, homemade bread (guess what I bought my son and his wife for their wedding gift? A bread maker!!) and a community where you can still pray and hold a church service at the county fair! I love this place as well! Contrats on your new dwelling!<br />Love, BethBethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13507427205366570463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838118003594409185.post-10179569870495044952009-07-15T07:11:57.559-07:002009-07-15T07:11:57.559-07:00As an older lady (mid 40&#39;s) I have also been through financial hardships. You CAN make it when you are tight on money with a baby! You don&#39;t have to have everything that the world makes you think you have to have. The baby doesn&#39;t have to be a fashion model...just safe and loved. There are programs to help you if your income is within their brackets...check out WIC (women infants and children) <br />I agree with you about certain kinds of birth control. I had no idea that the pill actually made the fertilized egg not be able to implant in the uterus lining. (That is if there is an egg that was released...) What do you think of other kinds of birth control? Not as convenient, I think...but not like the pill&#39;s &quot;abortion&quot;. <br /> I raised 5 kids (still raising some of them) and many of those years I was very low income. They&#39;re wonderful children and a blessing to me! <br />I think it is a fine line, though, about obeying your husband and if you really feel that ALL kinds of birth control are sinful. I know that a lot of people do believe that...I&#39;m unsure, myself. I just had babies for the most part. I only used the pill for about two months after the birth of my third child. YUCK. I wouldn&#39;t suggest it to anyone. <br />I think it is important to be submissive to your husband. Talk it over with him. Tell him how you feel and about your personal beliefs. <br />BE RESPECTFUL TO HIM!! I&#39;m trying my best to learn how to show respect...even at my middle age! <br />But if you really feel that you are murdering an unborn child, you really need to tell him that. Explore other options of birth control if he still insists on waiting. I think children are a blessing and a gift from God. I&#39;m sure your dear husband is just worried about finances. <br />In Christ,<br />BethBethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13507427205366570463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838118003594409185.post-25930841494276852542009-07-05T12:34:17.932-07:002009-07-05T12:34:17.932-07:00Enjoy working together in the kitchen!Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04483264517830536055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838118003594409185.post-79985665050448174142009-06-30T20:25:40.261-07:002009-06-30T20:25:40.261-07:00I can&#39;t really guide you because I&#39;m not your Pastor and not the one God has placed over your soul. I can only say that what you said:<br /><br />&quot;The pill makes you not ovulate but it also makes the lining of your uterus thinner so even if you did conceive the embryo wouldn&#39;t implant. Have I accidentally killed a child? This thought is wretching my brain&quot;<br /><br />I came to that same place as well. I could no longer take them because of the facts of what the pill does. I&#39;m not saying that to tell you what to do, that is between you and God. I&#39;m just sharing that I felt like you did. <br /><br />I was actually getting ready to write another post about birth control but what I share on my blog are my personal convictions of such.<br /><br />I pray the Lord will guide you and your husband in this decision, he will never lead you wrong. :) <br /><br />BevChristian Homekeeperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08925323529237112084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838118003594409185.post-66912976196522552992009-06-30T14:02:12.712-07:002009-06-30T14:02:12.712-07:00Thanks for commenting on my blog. :) You have a VERY pretty blog! I&#39;ll enjoy visiting you. <br /><br />Righteous desires of the heart are from God. Your desire to have children is from Him. Although as Godly wives, we must submit to our husbands wishes, you may want to read a post I wrote in Jan 2008. Here&#39;s the URL:<br /><br />http://sharonsroses.blogspot.com/2008/01/life.html<br /><br />It&#39;s long, but really worth reading. I go back and re-read it myself at times though I&#39;m unable to have children anymore and am still convinced what I wrote is right. Praying God&#39;s Will be done in your lives. :)Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04483264517830536055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838118003594409185.post-53081160095458801502009-06-28T17:53:03.594-07:002009-06-28T17:53:03.594-07:00Woohoo for the washer and dryer! :) ~BevChristian Homekeeperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08925323529237112084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838118003594409185.post-48580252546948446852009-06-24T22:13:59.040-07:002009-06-24T22:13:59.040-07:00I really love your blog design! :) Very pretty! ~BevChristian Homekeeperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08925323529237112084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838118003594409185.post-72629901103243784422009-06-24T08:46:51.657-07:002009-06-24T08:46:51.657-07:00What a visually beautiful blog!

I am sorry you are having trouble with friends. Sometimes people do not understand and prejudge us. I know that is very difficult, for I have been there. <br /><br />Hang close to God&#39;s word and His truth. He will pull you safely to harbor in all things.<br /><br />I am finally learning after 50 years in this earthly life to try to ignore so many voices and just listen for the One voice that is most important. It is challenging though.<br /><br />Have a blessed week. Enjoy your newlywed life!<br /><br />In Christ&#39;s Love,<br /><br />AndreaAndreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18355324478827826300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838118003594409185.post-1962656213659168332009-06-20T15:16:35.041-07:002009-06-20T15:16:35.041-07:00Wow that is Great that you are wanting to get away from all the junk products that is now out in stores that we are to feed our families on. <br />Congrats on your wedding. <br />God Bless,<br />Mrs.Garcia(CAGmomof2)Mrs.Garciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02559346681909781752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838118003594409185.post-79170950354964093572009-06-20T12:20:10.340-07:002009-06-20T12:20:10.340-07:00That sounds like a lot of differences within your family but so glad you are willing to take a stand and not just go with the flow.
