I think God gave me a baby.

[Mrs. Naomi Portway]

Aaron wanted me to post that I might be pregnant. I feel really sick most of the time and my stomach hurts. But Aaron says we have to be sure before we stop trying. He doesn't trust doctors, so he said we will keep trying until I get fat from the baby growing in my stomach.

If that's your actual picture, you look awfully young to be married.

Re: I think God gave me a baby.

Wonderful, you must be overjoyed. Trust your husband, other than God, he is the only one that cares about you.
Savior every moment you have with the baby, time is fleeting. Every time you feel the spindly fingers of Satan ripping at your stomach, hold back and do not let on the devil is trying to steal your baby. Finally, do not bother Aaron about it, he has enough to worry about. Remind him we are doing a midweek outreach to Vegas, leaving Tuesday and coming back on Friday afternoon.

Yes, that's me. You can read about my wedding in the wedding forum.

There's no minimum age for marriage in the Bible.

Congratulations Naomi!

Will you be finishing up the school year?

[Capt. Aaron Portway]

Re: I think God gave me a baby.

I'll be allowing Naomi to visit her parents three times a week for homeschooling. She'll be officially starting home high school next year if I decide it's necessary.

She especially needs work on home economics. Cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, laundry, etc. But her mother told me she thinks that she ought to be able to get Naomi up to speed by the end of August, so anymore book learning probably won't be needed.

Except maybe some math. She has to learn to use a checkbook, since I don't believe in letting women handle cash. It'd just be too tempting for her to pocket some of my hard earned money. Eve's temptation makes it plain that you have to watch women like a hawk, and I just don't have time to keep her under my thumb 24/7.

Brother Portway, a suggestion for the missus.
I'd keep pencils and the like out of her hands. Women will daydream and scribble on everything in the kitchen. I am sure you've heard the saying "The writing is on the walls".
My own wife has had the misguided idea of sticking a pen in her ear, causing deafness and a certain sort of lean. I thought it was a prank at first, what with the blue ink dripping from her head.
God clearly did not want her touching writing instruments. I think she has learned her lesson and hope your little lady can be taught from my wifes misfortunes.

Good advice Brother. I think maybe both of our wives should be using something like this for writing shopping lists, etc. I don't think even the dumbest woman could fit one of these into her ears or nose.

Hehe, funny you should mention those. Why just the other day, Mrs. Hutchins said she left a couple of her large black crayons waiting in the barn.

Well young lady, give thanks to God for the gift of a child. And always remember that every time you heave your Cheerios in the morning, and your tummy hurts, that the first foolish woman brought the curse on herself and you.

Genesis 3: 13-16 "And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."

You need to be vigilant in prayer that it is a son rather than a daughter, so at least the pain is worthwhile as a new Christian soldier is created by the hand of God.

In Christ

Aaron wanted me to thank you for taking the time to help teach me how to be a better Christian wife. So thank you very much Mr. Porter.

And Naomi, remember don't listen to any nonsense about pain relief during the birth. All this stuff about TENS machines and epidurals goes directly against God's will. I actually turned off the morphine supply during Mrs O'fagans Cesarian section operation. She made a big fuss about it at the time but it saved her an eternity of suffering later,

This is joyous news indeed. Once you have borne your Godly husband a new little soldier for Christ, you will have fulfilled one of your requirements for Salvation. Hold fast to God's Word, fear Him, and obey His commandments, and you will be joining the rest of us in Heaven.

I Timothy 2:11-15
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
