Interesting Blog About Kids

So, today my friend at work forwarded me a link to an interesting blog, http://donthavekids.wordpress.com/ - she knows that I'm not so sure about the kid thing and she likes to tease me about it a little.  She sends me pictures and videos of kids that have made huge messes of themselves and/or their surroundings.  Then, she giggles at my look of horror and disgust.  :)  I'm not sure how kid-like I really was even as a kid. 

Getting back to why I found the blog interesting:  For starters, it's pretty humorous whether you like kids or not and whether you have them or not.  Also, I also read some of the comments from the readers and was surprised how many people out there are "childless by choice" as they coin it.  It led me to Google a few key phrases and I was surprised by some of the blogs and websites out there.  Some were what I would call "less than kind" and some really spoke to me.  Personally, I haven't definitively ruled out having children, but I also don't feel that need or have that desire.  I have lots of friends who have and are having babies (hence the Preggo Pals and all the babies on my prayer list).  I'm truely happy for them because I know that it is their heart's desire and that it brings them joy.  At the same time, I don't get it and sometimes that makes me wonder if there is something wrong with me.  So, finding that there is a whole community of people out there who feel similarly to me is comforting. 

For now, I'll stick with my current policy, the base of which is that it's all in God's hands.  I have no plans of having children, but He may have other plans and I always trust His plan more than mine (after all His plan had Brian in it and left to my own devices I would have unwisely ended up with a lesser man).  I trust that if it is His plan, then he'll lay that desire on my heart.  I also trust that it may not be His plan and maybe that's why He hasn't ever given me that desire.  Maybe God has other things in store for me...we shall see.
