Another Duggar!

The Christian Post published an article about the Duggar family this week.  Michelle Duggar is pregnant again and is expecting her 20th child.  The parents revealed the new on Tuesday on the "Today" show.  Michelle Duggar was surprised when she discovered that she was pregnant.  She did not think that God would give them another baby.  However, they are very excited about the gift of another child.  Michelle's pregnancy with her latest child was a dangerous one.  She suffered from gallbladder problems as well as pre-eclampsia.  Baby Josie was born three and a half months early.  However, today both mother and baby are doing well.  Baby Josie is getting ready to turn two years old and Michelle says that she is in the best shape of her life.  Jim Bob Duggar broke the news to the family by lining the huge family up on the home's staircase for a photo and telling them, "Smile-Mom's going to have another baby!" 

I really enjoyed this article and thought that it was really neat.  I have always enjoyed hearing about the Duggars and I used to watch their show all the time.

I have always loved the Duggars.  There has just always been something fascinating about them to me.  I believe I enjoy the Duggars so much because I love what they stand for.  I always knew that if I watched their t.v. show that it would be clean and wholesome.  The Duggars are a Christian family that happen to live not far from us in Arkansas.  I have never met them but I would love to if I ever get the chance.  I also love the fact that they are raising their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.  They leave everything to the Lord, even the amount of children that the Lord will bless them with and I love that.  I would love to have a large family like theirs if the Lord so chooses to bless me in that way.  I don't know if the Lord will choose for me to have 20 children or not, but I want to be faithful and have whatever he desires for me to have.  I really respect the Duggars.  I hope that as I mature, that I can place me faith in Christ like they have.  God is the one who is in control and children are a blessing from the Lord.  While they may seem weird to world, I really respect them for what they say, do, and stand for.  So, congratulations Duggars! 

How about you?  Do you like the Duggars or do you think they are crazy?  Do you see children as a blessing from the Lord or as a bother to your own agenda?  I pray that you see children as gifts from God and that you seek to raise children in the fear, nurture, and admonition of the Lord.
