Real Life Issues

Real Life Issues 

There were some points in the book were Kate would question God's purpose for her with all those babies. Or she would forget about God and mostly just pity herself and complain. I understand her feeling bad for herself to an extent, but she dwelled on it. And in my opinion, dwelling on pity for yourself pushes you away from God spiritually. I mean, how can you hear God's voice when you are focusing on your own pain and self pity. But like I said, who hasn't done that before, it was just overboard negativity in the book.

But on a lighter note, I think that Kate a lot of times would try and bring her situations back to God and put her trust in Him. Also, I thought it was really cool how she genuinely thanked all the people who volunteered for taking care of her babies daily. And she also acknowledged people who would leave large amounts of money for them, and showed that they really did care for her family and newborn sextuplets.

I think there was always the glaring question to Kate if she wanted to get a abortion for some of her babies. And I think that this is where God really showed himself in this story because at first they were not sure if they wanted all of those babies. But when it came down to it Kate could not let any of them go and she knew that God gave all of them to her for a reason.

I think this book clearly demonstrates that even if you aren't sure how your going to make it through something, if you just take it day by day with God. then you can do anything and God will always get you through it, financially, spiritually, physically, and mentally. Kate and Jon are a great example of these attributes because they trusted in God and they made it through.
