What Next, Lord?

When women are born, they are born with a set number of follicles which then have potential to become babies. When your mother was carrying you, you were already carrying your future children. In one setting, there were three generations housed in one womb. Your mother was carrying generations through you and didn’t even realize it. What she dealt with, good or bad, her children’s children would also deal with if she did not take care of that issue before it could spread further.
We first must deal with our own self before we can effectively spiritually protect and guard our children. I’m sure as mothers we do not want our children to suffer some of the same things we have suffered from. We must dig deep in prayer, uprooting bondages that would try to chain our children to its weights. Once we are sure the issues are tended to in our life, we can then prayerfully set a guard against the same issue that would try to rise up in our children.
Another thing God showed me was we have to deal with our issues, addictions and spiritual bondages all the way to the root. If we do not fully deal with our issues, the root that was left will grow in our children and affect them. What this means is if a person has a drinking problem and quits drinking at some point but doesn’t break the tie or curse of alcohol that runs in that family, then the children are at risk of the curse. The addiction of alcohol was broken in that person but not the family curse that provoked the addiction. Thus the virus of that sin, addiction or curse will keep spreading down that family linage affecting those coming after them and even become worse with each new generation. I am no expert in the field of motherhood. My children are still babies themselves. But during my seven-year battle with infertility, I sought God on how I should raise my children. Not only did God show me some things I should and should not do, He also opened my eyes to some things around me that were not right. He showed me a few things to avoid so I wouldn’t have trouble later.
The next important thing for us and our future children is making sure we are marrying the right person. Marrying the right person puts you into the will of God verses the wrong person, which causes you to step out of God’s will off the bat. But, thank the Lord for His mercy because He rewrites His will for us according to the choices we make. We are not doomed because we messed up. Our life will come with more difficulty we were not originally supposed to walk through, but God gives us the grace to get through it when we seek Him through it all.
It is my desire to open your eyes to some hidden truths in this book. Using biblical facts and experiences
as well as input from wives and mothers just like you and I, my prayer is that we correct some of the things we may be doing wrong and learn new Godly ways to do what we are called to do.
Sometimes we know a piece of information that doesn’t fully click into place until the Holy Spirit enlightens us to its truth in fullness. So I pray for the light of truth to shine in these pages causing us to better and perfect the way we raise our children while being the best wife and mother we can possibly be.
“The Lord will perfect that which concerns me: your mercy, O Lord, endures forever: forsake not the works of your own hands.” Psalm 138:8 (NKJV)
