Fill that quiver

I want to share something that has really encouraged me.

I was talking to a friend the other day and she told me "I couldn't have kids yet, I'm too selfish still!" And I felt again that surge of panic that I have whenever someone says something like that, or something along those lines. I think - yikes, I'm still pretty darn selfish - should I have had a baby? Should I even consider another? Am I being fair?

Yesterday I read something that once again got me on track.

"Remember: God doesn't call the equipped, he equips the called."


Phewf - God is in control here. He is asking me to be holy, unselfish and good. But He's going to give me the tools to do it. And if He is calling me to be a mother (seems fairly obvious at this point...) then he is going to equip me with the tools I need to be a good mother if I ask for His help.

This psalm was in the same article I read:

Psalm 127:Like arrows in the hands of a warrior 
Are sons born in one's youth.
 Blessed is the man Whose quiver is full of them.
 They will not be put to shame 
When they contend with their enemies in the gate

He looks a little bit more like the Pillsbury Dough boy then like an arrow...but you get the point.
