“Little child dry your crying eyes. How can I explain the fear you feel inside? You were born into this evil world where man is killing man, but no one knows just why. What have we become? Just look what we have done. All that we destroyed you must build again…”

Sad? Yes I know, but such are the chilling lyrics from a late 80’s song by White Lion. Listen below if you like.

Every time I hear this song a thought runs through my head. Over the years I’ve realized how special little kids are and what a joy they can be in your life. However, there has been one thing that has scared me more than anything about having children. Let’s face it, the World these days is not an ideal environment to be raising kids… at least according to my standards.  Gay rights, teen pregnancies, rapes, suicides, drugs, and corrupt goverment leaders are becoming more instead of less. The morals and religous beliefs this country was once founded on are being ignored and eradicated. It worries me greatly to bring children into a world and bring them up in a Christian lifestyle when in a few years they may be persecuted for it. It scares me that they will have to go to war and fight for some stupid cause. Why would anyone want to put a child in a bad, dangerous situation?

Despite my fears about it, there’s no question that I’m going to have children and raise them to be like Christ. They will be taught to stand up for the things they believe in and fight for it only when necessary. The thing is… it is not my call on whether or not I should have kids… It’s Gods. Having kids is what I was designed for. Okay, it may hurt alot – and trust me I don’t even know yet - but we are the giver’s of life and keys to the future. If I were to say no I’m not having children because I don’t want to put them into this crappy world that would be selfish of me. By not contributing strong believers in Christ to the World I would be surrendering to the enemy.
