One of my most deep-seated fears in life is
having children.
or, to be honest, even
wanting children.

Oh man Kessia-I hear you. We should talk about this sometime...
yikes
So are you facing your fears?
No, Andrea. I plan to never, ever face them
and
just keep making it really hard for God to make me face them.
Wait.... have you accidentally... wanted them?
Only so much as I've accidentally had them :) So far.
I hear ya, Kessia! I TOTALLY want to have them, but the responsibility, the commitment, and I won't be able to be selfish anymore... Hey, but those shoes are pretty cute though...
Oh? Rather than facing your fears, Kessia, you can just buy those shoes for my babies! :)
I keenly understand your sentiments. But take it from the other side, they are well worth the facing!
And... YOU would mother richly, wisely, laughingly, and WELL.
Sometimes, I feel like people who sincerely want children are just ignorant.
Which, you have to admit, is true...as far as experience goes anyway...(excluding situations involving second-, third-, fifth-, sixth-, and nth-borns).
Don't be too fearful of having children. The Bible calls them blessings :)
"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate." Psalm 127:3-5
But yeah, I could see why someone would fear having or wanting them.
