Raising a family is not for the faint of heart nor for those without it. It's like going on a great adventure! You never know what's up the mountain, around the bend or in the valley. The responsibilities can be overwhelming, but fear not!!! God has never forsaken those who trust in Him. I know a little bit about that....let me encourage you!

SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOTTA WAIT!
Raising 9 children, and managing a household budget requires self control and the capacity to wait. For sure there are some things we need not wait, especially when it challenges either our health, money and/or relationships. However, a lot of the lures that challenge our peace are simply based on our "wants" and not "needs". We "want" to get married but the dude you have in mind can't take care of himself let alone you. Should you wait? Absolutely! You may want to purchase a new set of wheels but can't afford the financing and high interest rate. Should you run to the nearest car dealer for the fly-est car in town? Maybe not. An auction may be the best bet, NO CAR PAYMENTS! Don't let your wants get in the way of your needs and for peace's sake, WAIT.
