I think of my future children everyday.
Often, I think: are they watching me? Are they praying for me? Am I praying for them? What do I want them to see? Are they proud of me? Are they disappointed in me? Would I do what I do if I knew they could see me now? What can I teach them to stay strong? How can I be an example to them now? How can I get through to them when they are teens? Will I love them unconditionally? This is a scary world getting worse, will they be able to stand up for what they believe in? How can I be a good mother? How can my future hubby be a good father? What will my children need from us as a couple? What can we do as a family to stand for truth and righteousness?
What do I need to do now to prepare myself for their coming?
Everything I write on this blog is what I want my future kittos to know.
I want to help them, guide them, and walk beside them. I want to help them have faith, and to love the Lord. I want to be a constant source of support for them. I want to teach them correct principles and then once they are out of my home, let them govern themselves. I want my future husband to honor his priesthood to be able to bless my children, and me. I want to be ready for the second coming of the Savior and Redeemer of the world, and I want my children to be a light for others to see and glorify their God in Heaven.

How can I do all that?
Luckily I wont be alone in my pursuit of raising my children uprightly before the Lord. I will have a good husband, amazing family, my Father in Heaven, my Savior, and the Holy Ghost.
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
So here's to you future children. I love you.
I think about this all the time too! Can't wait to see what you have to say :)
