I just wanted to let you know, I’m pregnant! Yeah,
congratulations, I’m so happy for you! Is that what you just said? Oh sorry let
me finish, I’m pregnant with my 6th baby! Oh. Again? How many are
you going to have? Don’t you know what causes that? Where does your husband
work? He does work doesn’t he? Why would anyone want that many children? What
do you already have? One boy and four girls!! What if this one is a girl? Five
girls, wait till they are teenagers! Ha, ha, ha, is that what you were
thinking? Don’t worry I get it all the
time.
I hesitate to tell
people I’m pregnant because I know what they are thinking, but it is so hard to
contain my excitement. I know the value of my womb, I know the blessing of the
life that is being formed inside of me, and I am honored to carry that life. With
my history of miscarriage, I don’t even know if I will ever see the face of
this life, but for now I am honored to have whatever joy, anticipation, and
happiness this life brings me in the meantime.
I am saddened by what
is going on in our world, when it comes to the womb. We argue whether life in
the womb is life or not life. We argue choice or child. We argue legal or
illegal, what has this world come to when we start killing our own
offspring? We should not be arguing
about whether abortion is okay or not, we should be arguing about the fact that
this is even an argument.
Throughout the book of genesis men married, had children, those
children married, had children, and so on. These family trees are so important.
A fruitful womb for a woman was a blessing to her husband and a barren woman would cry out
to God to open her womb so she would not be a shame to her husband. Children were
considered a blessing and the womb was very valuable. These women knew the
value of their wombs. Pharaoh tried killing all the Hebrew boys that were born
but the midwives feared God and they would not do it. Maybe if the abortion doctors feared God they
would not listen to the law of the land either?
But you know what, it
wouldn’t even matter. Take away Planned Parenthood, doctors willing to do
abortions, and abortion clinics. You are still left with women that don’t want
their babies. Now that is the root of the issue. I’m telling you, we are
focusing on the wrong things. The women of this world are crying out. How come
no one has taught them the value of their womb? We are a product of multiple
generations where priorities have been placed on careers and materialism. We
say to our children, "Going to college is more important than having a family.
Establishing your career is more important than having a family. Being financially stable and buying all the
things you desire is more important than starting a family. Wait until you
fulfill all your selfish desires and then have one or maybe two children, but
that is enough. You don’t want them to take too much of your time or money."
Meanwhile our children can’t control their sexual desire. So we incorporate sex
education into our schools and we say it is natural and okay to feel this way
and you are probably going to give into these desires and that is okay. So when
you do, just use birth control because you wouldn’t want a baby to mess up your
materialistic driven future plans. So you wonder why when these girls end up
pregnant they despise that life, they are afraid of what people will think of
them, and worry about their future. Please I am begging you. Please stop this ridiculous
immoral behavior. The key to stopping abortion starts in your own home! Please
for the sake of our families. Teach your daughters the proper order and the
amazing ability they have of bringing life into this world. “Even the sea
monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones: the daughter
of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.” (Lamentations
4: 3) As a childbearing woman and a mother of four daughters this issue is
close to my heart. So I write now to my daughters.
To my precious daughters, know your value, as a wife and as
a mother. Grow up in training, instruction, and discipline to be a good mother
and a loving wife. May this be your goal. There is no greater position, and
understanding your place, you will find true peace and contentment there. Seek a man that is like daddy, not just a God fearing man, but one
that loves and cherishes you like he does. Make sure he sees the treasure he
has found, when he finds you. Remain
pure. Get married young. Suppressing your sexual desires until your wedding day,
will strengthen your marriage bond and will save you from many troubles. Know
the value of your womb. I pray that you
will not take this for granted. If God blessings your womb with life see this
for the gift it is. Take heed to the warning in Job 39: 14-17 pertaining to the
ostrich, “which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust, and
forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labour
is in vain without fear; because god hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath
he imparted to her understanding”. Plead
with God for this true wisdom and understanding! He gives to all liberally.
This is going to be the race
least run. Run it with strength and integrity.
They say ha, ha, ha wait till they are teenagers. No, I will
not wait till they are teenagers, I will start instructing them now to know the
value of family and their womb. I will also show them by example. One day I
will consider myself very blessed if my daughters face the same crowds. Again? Don’t you know what causes that? And
we will answer yes we do and we call him God.
