Society will tell you to have a baby, get married, do this, do that. But when that baby arrives, society isn’t there to help you raise them. When a child misbehaves, they’re quick to label you a bad mother, say the child wasn’t raised right, or has no home training. It’s never, “That child is struggling how can I help? How can I teach what they may be lacking?” No, that grace is rarely given.
The same goes for marriage. When you and your husband are going through hard moments, they’ll say you’re disrespectful or that you don’t know how to keep a home. It’s never, “Let me pray for you,” or “Here’s something that might help.”
That’s why it’s so important to do what works for you. Because when you’re struggling, the same people who pressured you to have a baby even when you knew you weren’t ready or pushed you to get married, will be the ones who come back to judge or make fun of you.
Do what’s right for you. Go where God is leading you.
God’s plan doesn’t go with society’s timelines
