Soooo… I’m having another baby… :) Before my first child was on the way… I was lost, ran with a bad crowd.. had no financial security or visible path forward. After my wife and I had our first child, somehow I ended up with a good job. I went from a high school drop out to become a college grad within a few years. Before my second child was born, we were barely getting by, but had just enough as went through the ebbs and flows of struggling financially… After my wife and I had our second child, I somehow moved up in my career, wife started a successful small business, and financially we’ve been doing good. We’re comfortable. And here we are again,.. having another child. Around the time Covid came around, wifey and I talked about having a third, but we ultimately didn’t… I was honestly afraid of what was going on in the world and I thought it’d be a crazy time to bring another a little one along. My mind was literally going to blackouts, food shortages etc.. Within the last few years, since 2020, something amazing happened to me… I founded a strong relationship with God. When I look back as to why we had children even though we weren’t financially stable or things weren’t exactly “perfect”— I can only conclude, even though I didn’t know it at the time, that it was because of God blessed us. Not long ago, I came across Psalm 127:3-5 which speaks to the blessings of having children. “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!” Isn’t that beautiful? That scripture, no lie, is the reason we’re having one again. lol Thanks God. lol I won’t lie, the thought crossed my mind as to the crazy times we’re in and what could be approaching… AND, ironically enough, the baby, although we haven’t confirmed the due date yet, looks like he/she will be coming in Nov/December.. perfect timing, right? lol But you know what I’ve learned throughout my relationship with God? It’s to not fear the unknown plans of satan. Instead, I will embody what it means to have Unshakeable Faith by placing all of my trust in the Lord. God is steering the ship… with a Baby on Board bumper sticker. 🙏
