As long as you have contentment with your boys, a longing for a girl might be for a reason. Maybe God will give you a girl in due time through natural circumstances or possibly through adoption. There are so many baby girls in China who will most likely face a future of prostitution if not adopted by a loving family. And believe me, I'm not the woman you might vision as being the right kind to raise three girls. I don't know how to sew and I'm a mediocre cook (though I try!). I'm a work in progress for sure!Laurenhttp://www.titus2moments.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755022410878164861.post-20067599252999195712011-08-23T15:24:14.426-04:002011-08-23T15:24:14.426-04:00I am struggling with an issue that relates somewha...I am struggling with an issue that relates somewhat to this post. I have 3 boys: 5, 3, and 9 months. I am very blessed and happy with my boys but I would be lieing if I said I didnt want a girl. I find myself tearing up everytime I think about it. I sometimes blame it on myself thinking that maybe God doesnt think I would or am a "Godly' enough mother to raise a girl because I know the responsiblities that comes with mothers raising Godly young women. I hate to admit these feelings I have because I know what some people think when I say this "you should be lucky you have 3 healthy children" AND I TOTALLY AM! I know what great blessings God has given me with 3 boys. I try to reject these feelings of not having a girl but honestly deep down I feel that I am missing a part of me. I know this probably makes no sense and I was hesitant to post this but I figured that I could be open because no one reading this knows who I am and that for once is a good thing. Thank you for this post and your blog. God bless you and your ministry!<br /> -JenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755022410878164861.post-17534300895887620932011-05-30T15:47:00.355-04:002011-05-30T15:47:00.355-04:00Awesome!!

I prayed for 3 boys and a girl and I'm happy that my prayers have been answered. I can't imagine my life any other way. :)Stephanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755022410878164861.post-84018782401968697362011-05-30T14:41:27.393-04:002011-05-30T14:41:27.393-04:00Great post!

I'm going to start using the response you give when people say you've got your hands full. That's the one I get most often. Usually people say it with a smile, and I they don't mean anything negative. I've noticed that especially older people stop us all the time to comment on how well-behaved the kids are. Even when they say something about me being busy, I just laugh and agree. I have one friend that had 4 girls before having a boy. People would stop her all the time and say something about how she must be glad to finally have a boy. She'd look at them straight in the eye and say "Yes, we were so disappointed with all our girls." Of course this was sarcasm, but it got the point across!Mindy Dumonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07205018022130593772noreply@blogger.com
