Did you know, all of us, women are diseased and we need to be medicated? Our disease is given us at conception when God's decision to make us male or female is manifested. We are ..... FERTILE!! I know, I know you are thinking, what is she talking about! But it is a sad truth that we are faced with as women today. Our fertility is viewed as harmful and inconvenient and we must be medicated immediately! From the time we hit puberty to the time of menopause, only to be unleashed if we so feel like we can take time out of our busy schedules to bring life into the world.
I made a statement today at lunch that I thought was going to get me exiled from the table but I feel it is true. If you feel like children are not for you, which they aren't for everyone, maybe you shouldn't get married. Marriage, as well, is not for everyone. Shocking isn't it, but God calls all of us to different vocations.
Prayer is much needed in our decisions for life, especially our vocation. There are lots of signs God gives us in the discernment of our life calling we just have to be patient and willing to listen.
If the idea of kids does not excite you, maybe you aren't called to marriage. If the idea of kids makes your world go 'round, stand strong! and hold out for that "perfect" man God has designed for you and for you alone. AND DO NOT LET SOCIETY TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE DISEASED AND THAT WANTING CHILDREN IS IRRESPONSIBLY (or any other of the ridiculous things that we are told).
