It definitely made my husband and I laugh but as it came to an end, I realized how much I wish I lived in a different time! A time when things seemed simpler! But I have thought that often and I can't go back in time so I just need to change the way I live in my life! Some days that means eating organic fruit, buying local meats, supporting people/things/businesses that believe in home grown things the way God intended them to be! But right now it means wanting to raise my children so that they treat/are treated with the same respect shown in this video! I want my sons to ask a young ladies father before they start "dating"! And I want our daughters to be pursued by good young men that know how important it is to have her father's approval first! I want our children to court, to be serious about their relationships and protect their hearts and minds and bodies as God would protect them! My husband was my first boyfriend. I feel as if we courted each other. We were serious about dating and it's purpose to find a spouse. I am so thankful that God taught me this before I entered into a relationship, and I am so blessed to have only loved one man. But I want even more, even higher standards, for our children because God has given us the gift of relationships and marriage and that is something I never want to take for granted nor do I want my children to!
No, I do not have children yet, but God willing, we will have many in the future, and as every mother does, I want the best for them! I must admit that I have been greatly inspired by The Duggars on 19 Kids and Counting! I find the way they live to be such a breath of fresh air! Many people say the world is over populated (which it certainly is not!) and that they shouldn't have that many children but they appear to be the most well behaved, respectful, considerate, faithful, and giving children (and young adults) I have ever seen! The way they conduct themselves in the public and in their home is beautiful and I would love a world full of Duggar children that love the Lord and give their life for Him! I intend to raise children similarly.......when they come.....I will need a lot of strength from Jesus for sure, and definitely an abundance of patience. There is much I need to learn before coming a parent but I am excited for that time to come! I greatly look up to my sisters and how amazing they are at being moms!! One of them has a blog...you should check it out! www.mytrailinlife.blogspot.ca
Okay, bedtime now!!! Usually I am already sleeping by 10pm......uhhh, i mean, up partying at this time like a cool couple that doesn't watch movies and eat samosas at home on a Friday evening..... Peace out!
