Convincing the inconvincible...

As of late, I have felt a great peace about being a stay at home mom and wife.  With many of the changes we've made, I've felt like God is going to bless us with more children.  My husband however has never been real sure.  He was happy to have more than one, but more than two he feared, would be too many to give his full attention.  I've been talking with him lately about my peace from God, and asked him to pray about it.  Unbeknownst to me, he has been doing this and speaking with friends of ours that currently have 3 children, much closer in age than our two.  The husband of the couple reassured him that 3 is really not a big deal, and that seems to have put Erik at ease, so he gave the go ahead last night to have more children.  I feel so blessed that I have a Godly husband, willing to prayerfully consider and discuss the topics for which I feel burdened!  I could not help smiling last night when we were talking, discussing baby names, and basking in one another's presence.  We have recently begun the devotion, "Night Light," by James and Shirley Dobson, and though very short lessons, they have really helped us break down the communication barrier, and provide an appropriate time to discuss relationship-relevant questions without the innuendo that we are asking out of criticism.  I highly recommend this devotional for any couples who don't have much time to fit one in, or who are just starting out with a couples study.  Each day is intended to take 10 minutes or less, and there are 6 months worth of lessons for every day of the week.  I eagerly anticipate the direction our family is headed.  We are growing closer and closer with each week and month!
