What to do prior to having kids

Q: What are some things that you would recommend (to a married couple) to do prior to having a baby? My husband are waiting on the Lord to provide kids in near future, but would like to do things that are good "pre kid prep" until they arrive. Examples we’ve already thought of are starting a baby hope chest, as well as taking a baby financial class.


A: My advice is study and read the Bible dsily. You will be exhausted and so tired with young kids your going to lack in the Bible areas, so put as priority (now). Bith individually and together. Plus praying together. 

Next is Family financial advising, living trusts, medical directives, wills..

Do go to marriage counseling via biblical marriage counselor. You want to gain proper mindset towards each other and know how to handle decision making & disagreements so all goes as smoothbas possible. Actively care about the other over yourself. 

Making sure you communicate DAILY in your marriage, and are submitting to each other in the Lord; with your faith at center of life to lead your thoughts, words & decisions. 

Finally, getting prepared about how to Christianly "Train up a child" as well.

This resource can help, and together you can have an advanced agreed upon game plan re various areas of raising children now so its smoother when put in action. 


Here are resources for you both to grow in the faith as man and woman as well as married couples and as believers in general. 

God bless

Fornication led to pregnancy

Q: Recently I sinned by fornicating again. I did ask forgiveness from God for being unfaithful again. I thought God had forgiven me (& I’m no longer participating in such activities). I had just repented and made the effort to turn from evil, but...just found out I’m pregnant. It was one brief moment!! Really and truly I cannot believe I’ve went backwards like that and my life feels ruined. I don't understand. Did God truly forgive me?

I’m willing to lose everything else, but to lose Jesus because of my sin - I really cannot bare the thought. A: You dont stop praying because things dont go your way.
