It is amazing to me how several of the most coveted positions (in the church and in the secular world) appear, from the outside view, to carry great grandeur and few tribulations. However, this is a great misconception. Many desire to carry the titles of honor, but they truly do not understand the reality of the burden that comes with these positions.
Do you have a closet that no one is allowed to open? I wonder why not. Is it full of junk and you keep telling yourself you are going to use one day? Just like cleaning out the closet, at times we need to do a spiritual and emotional cleaning.
Have you noticed that now that Valentine’s Day is history you have made being in and demonstrating love a mystery? Your unexpected kisses have been kicked to the curve. The peace has passed away. Your loving words of encouragement and compassion have quickly crept away like a thief in the night.
After years of emotional, physical, and verbal abuse, I finally ended my marriage. My exodus wasn’t planned. After a vicious beating that led to my arrest (at my former husband insistence), I prayed to God and heard an audible voice that asked, “Are you ready to Leave the Wilderness?” Several days later, I packed up my children and left.

I honestly think it's okay to tell your spouse how you feel, but at the end of the day there needs to be some type of compromise and decision made.
I was in this position but, our lateset edition was a surprise. We didn't have time to talk about anything. I was pregnant and not having the baby wasn't an option! There is an eight year age gap in between my youngest and second youngest. I am the mother of four children ages 13, 12, 9, and 1.
I thought about daycare fees, pampers, and every other expense that comes along with a newborn/ infant but, I prayed about it and we are okay. I work FT, and started a home business to generate extra income. Hubby does his part to contribute and is very supportive of my journey through entrepreneurship. I honestly couldn't imagine my life without our yougest son!
I feel that we are fulfilled. The hubby and I are both on the same page about not expanding our family any further.
