God's reinforcements?
Posted On: 03/18/2008 00:36:54
How many pregnant women do you know? Personally, the number is growing every day for me. Does it seem like everyone is having a baby or trying to have a baby? Members, non-members, first time mothers, 4th time mothers, single moms, teenage moms, older moms, etc. I can barely go a week without finding out that someone is pregnant. I even heard something about it mentioned on the news, so I know I'm not the only noticing it.

It got me wondering...what's the dealio? I thought about the Lord's purpose for us and the reason our spirits need bodies. We've been told that we are approaching the end of days, the Millenium, the Second Coming, or whatever you want to call. Perhaps, this 'baby boom' is God sending in His reinforcements before that comes. Maybe, this is the 'surge' of getting as many spirits into bodies as possible before that time.

When I take a step back and think about that, I realize how psycho-religious that sounds. Sure, we could explain the baby boom in social, cultural, economical, etc. terms, but....there could be another element. One that sounds weird, but could be legit....? Does that sound weird to you?

Do you think the Lord sending in his reinforcements for the last days?

On a different note: I finished a web design class I was taking through a local community college and I rocked it! I'm a good student, but I am not a computer person, so this class was really hard for me. My testimony has surely been reinforced that if we try our best, the Lord will fill in the rest. Now let's see if I can remember it...

It's a good sign, isn't it?  Obedience in maternity clothes.  And my heart aches for those who want to be obedient to our Heavenly Father's command to multiply and replenish the earth, but can't.  In the Book of Mormon, it says that those who want to give their riches, but have none to give, can say in their hearts, "If I had, I would give", and it is accounted unto them for righteousness.

Congratulations on your web design class!  Our prophets continually teach we should seek out education. You're doing good!
