A fellow blogger has a well-written post explaining what you may have heard called "Quiverfull".
To put it in a nutshell, it's allowing God to control your fertility or lack thereof. We are open to any and all blessings the Lord sends us, in His timing. We believe His Way is best.

Until next time...

That is so awesome Jen...does that mean that you are pregnant again? Hmmmm....
Are you keeping a secret?
Yes, that is an excellent post indeed.
SO...are you expecting again? BTW....you could just tell people it's your business how many kids you have!!!
Just found your blog......I am expecting #6 and I seem to find people just don't understand. Especially this one person....it is just such a huge issue...sigh. oh well right???
Yes, Jen. People view children as a hindrance into the life instead of the blessings that God sends. They look to all the "problems" and "expense" involved because they fail to trust in the Lord who gives them to be powerful to provide for their needs. Also, they are so involved with their "needs" for big houses, expensive cars, name brand clothes... whatever, that they sacrifice all the joy the Lord could give them. And the children are untrained and undisciplined so that even one is so overwhelming, they can not possibly comprehend the idea of a happy, joyful and peaceful home filled with children. I will be popping over to check out that post.
Hugs,
Kat
PS.. To the comment above... couldn't get over the rude and hurtful comments of my family and sadly church members when we announced our fifth was on the way. So much so that I wouldn't tell anyone until I was five months along with number six.
