Perhaps it is a rant....

Walking home from class tonight, a girl I didn't even know was firing away question after question of my impending birth.  I guess when your stomach sticks out six inches from it's normal spot, people get curious. I was honest with all questions, but the one that stuck out to me the most was  
"Did you plan it?"
She went on to say how much it would suck to become pregnant on your honeymoon (how about a week before hun?) and not plan having the kid and of course she wants a kid someday but she so wants to plan it out and....

When, ladies, gentlemen, did we get it into our heads that we are the planners of our life?
Job 38 comes to mind. (see below)
How audacious! how prideful of us as human beings to think we can take control of the very thing God has given us, life. That we can manipulate and control as little gods in charge of our own destiny. Because after all, we know best right?
I'm not just talking about having kids. apply this to any area. if your single if your married if your engaged if you don't care, where are you holding control, where are you saying "oh, im going to plan it this way" what issues are you not even consulting the creator of your life on?

In our society, when to have a kid is definitively one of them. And it just got to me. Did you plan it?

did you neatly map out your life and it to God saying "here is what we are going to do God?" Did I say to him well, actually I would like to graduate and get my masters first and then perhaps we can think about creating Jocelyn oh, lets say nov 2015? how does that schedule for you God? because I know you have great plans and all but Convenience wise, this works best.

No Thanks. I think I will let the omniscient God handle this. I think I will be clay. I think I will choose to die to my will and thank God for the adventure he is planning, because honestly a piece of paper with my name on it is nothing compared to one with her name on it stating that God honored my husband and I to be Co-creators with him.

with that said, dwell on these verses in light of your own situation. Job 38.

Dress for action^[a] like a man;
   I will question you, and you make it known to me. ⁴"Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
   Tell me, if you have understanding.
⁵Who determined its measurements—surely you know!
   Or who stretched the line upon it?
⁶On what were its bases sunk,
   or who laid its cornerstone,
⁷when the morning stars sang together
   and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
 ⁸"Or who shut in the sea with doors
   when it burst out from the womb,
⁹when I made clouds its garment
   and thick darkness its swaddling band,
¹⁰and prescribed limits for it
   and set bars and doors,
¹¹and said, 'Thus far shall you come, and no farther,
   and here shall your proud waves be stayed'?
 ¹²"Have you commanded the morning since your days began,
   and caused the dawn to know its place,
¹³that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth,
   and the wicked be shaken out of it?
¹⁴It is changed like clay under the seal,
   and its features stand out like a garment.
¹⁵From the wicked their light is withheld,
   and their uplifted arm is broken.
 ¹⁶"Have you entered into the springs of the sea,
   or walked in the recesses of the deep?
¹⁷Have the gates of death been revealed to you,
   or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?
¹⁸Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth?
   Declare, if you know all this.
 ¹⁹"Where is the way to the dwelling of light,
   and where is the place of darkness,
²⁰that you may take it to its territory
   and that you may discern the paths to its home?
²¹You know, for you were born then,
   and the number of your days is great!
 ²²"Have you entered the storehouses of the snow,
   or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,
²³which I have reserved for the time of trouble,
   for the day of battle and war?
²⁴What is the way to the place where the light is distributed,
   or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth?
 ²⁵"Who has cleft a channel for the torrents of rain
   and a way for the thunderbolt,
²⁶to bring rain on a land where no man is,
   on the desert in which there is no man,
²⁷to satisfy the waste and desolate land,
   and to make the ground sprout with grass?
 ²⁸"Has the rain a father,
   or who has begotten the drops of dew?
²⁹From whose womb did the ice come forth,
   and who has given birth to the frost of heaven?
³⁰The waters become hard like stone,
   and the face of the deep is frozen."
