Let’s Talk About Children

July 23, 2007

Let’s talk about children for a minute.

I personally think everyone should do what they are best at and what they are called to do. I also LOVE and ADORE babies!

I’ve had 10 all together. 7 are living, 3 are in heaven.

When we leave this world, God is not going to ask us how much money we made or did we have a great time. He’s going to ask, “What did you do for Me?”

I personally think one of the best things a woman can do is have a bunch of kids. It keeps you young, you learn a lot and if you do a good job of raising them when they are little, they are so much fun when they are teens!

Then they have babies and you get to enjoy grandchildren! (I have 2 coming soon!)

Men don’t have a clue what an honor and privilege it is to have a baby.

I know this isn’t a popular opinion these days, but who cares?

I tend to do what I feel led to do by my God and by that small still voice that speaks to me. It either grants me peace during the day or it keeps me from going to sleep at night.

I don’t live my life based on what others think and I want to challenge each of you to do the same.

Do what you feel is right for you. The influences in this world may tell you one thing but you don’t have to obey. You don’t have to keep up with the Jones if you don’t want to.

I don’t. I live my life so the Jones want to keep up with me! Ha! And I want to encourage you to do the same.

Make a list of the elements you want to have in your life. If you’re married, ask your partner what he wants and needs.

Then make a plan and work actively on making your life look like what you’ve described. Pray about it and you’ll be surprised how things sort of fall into place for you.

When my husband and I decided we wanted to live in the country, we made two lists. One had things we needed, the other listed things we wanted.

It took us two years of searching to find, but we finally bought a 3600 sq. ft. log house in the middle of 44 acres with 2 creeks, woods, pastures and a view to die for.

We’ve since added a top floor that is 40 ft of Lego room.

That wouldn’t have happened if we hadn’t made a few decisions.

Too many people let life push them along. They just drift through life doing what they are told and living mindlessly from day to day. Eventually, they become miserable enough to complain or do something to fix it. Or they just die with their song still in them.

There is more to life than making money. There is more to life than having a career.

Focusing on creating and maintaining great relationships is key and some of the best relationships you’ll ever have will be with your kids.

So I encourage you to have as many children as you can. If you are unable to have kids, adopt some.

The biggest impact you will ever have in this world will be on the people you pour your self into. And if you do a great job raising a few kids, you’ll have fun learning to make money with them and you’ll be thrilled with what you have accomplished.

And God will be thrilled with you, too.

So many books, so little time…
