Christians and the choice to have kids

Notice I said the CHOICE to have kids. 

This is about the culture we are living in that tells us that we should put our own desires before the calling of what God wants in our lives. 

Some of us feel the nudge and the calling to have children, but we want everything to be line first, so we decide (subconsciously) selfishly that we want to have control over when and where this happens. Whereas, this is something that God should be in control over, because His plan is perfect, and ours is not. 

There is a difference between our planning our lives vs what we feel God is calling us to do at certain pointes. There is a different between being infertile and struggling with the want to be a biological parent vs God possibly calling us to try different avenues, like adoption, surrogacy or other means. 

Psalm 127:3-5 -- Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court.
