$245,340 up until age 18.
Being as we are expecting our fourth child at the end of the month, this figure could be enough to send me into a panic attack or major depression. But instead I rejoice. This is why.
God has so abundantly provided! Everything shown in this picture was either given to us or purchased through gift cards for the baby. The only two things we have bought are a second-hand car seat and stroller.
Because God is so faithful, He has grown me up to realize what is truly important. With our first child, I had to have the nursery a certain way with coordinating bedding, walls, etc. Much of my focus then was on appearances. Today, with this our fourth child, the nursery is simply a space in our bedroom.
Totally different perspective!
Today I am content and so very thankful to God for what we have and what He is blessing us with--new life. I recognize the significance of such a gift and no price can be put on it.
