Ramblings of a Christian Mom
Ok, now that I have your attention and probably have people upset and ready to jump at me, let me explain. I'm not trying to say that a relationship has more value than human life. A child's physical and emotional needs have to be taken care of, of course. I'm not talking about cases in which there is abuse from one spouse. I'm saying that [More...]
To my husband, It's hard to believe that we've already been married for 5 years, and yet it feels like we've been married forever. It's hard to remember life before we were "we."

Using short stories, Amish proverbs, [More...]
I'm really struggling with trusting God with the size of our family. I knew that after Josiah was born I'd have a hard time with this. I had myself all convinced that we can do this, we WOULD do this, and God will take care of us. And yet I still don't feel safe without birth control. I feel like such a hypocrite.
