"You're REALLY living on the edge..."
This was the reply I got when I told an individual that we are letting God plan the size of our family and not doing anything to limit the number of children He gives us. For the time being, at least, I believe in trusting God's grace and that He will not give us more than we can handle. In, the future, if our health or financial situation dictates, we will consider NFP for a time.
The very, very few times I have disclosed this to people, they look at me as if I have taken leave of my senses. My statement that we follow the Church's teaching on the use of contraceptives and spacing of births is met with shock or even people being threatened by our stance. Assumptions are then made that we will change our mind, or we will end up having ten children. Well, after almost six years of marriage, we have only two. It will probably be a while before another is on the way, due to the fact that Gabe still nurses ALOT, which surpresses my fertility even more than usual.
I didn't realize I was being so subversive! Children are a blessing, not a liabiltiy.
