Can we trust Him to give us what He knows is best for us, or will we take matters into our own hands? God never gives us more than we can handle. One of my bff's has 14 kids. A good friend of mine has 12. Most of my friends and bff's have at least 5. I have one friend that had 6 six and under, but after her 3rd c-section the doctor told her she had to stop.
I'd say people who kill themselves have been given more than they can handle. I've been on the brink for a long time myself; I probably would have done it recently had I had anything to hand to do the job.
Yeah, my bff with 5 would surely have 10-12 by now if the cancer hadn't stopped her ...and with only 5 she, too, has been on the brink. Looking from the outside, my friend with 6 six and under surely has more than she can handle on her own. I hope you have someone close to help you out, hold you tight, and encourage your heart when things become overwhelming.
