Encouraging thoughts?
My husband and I are TTC. I have strong thoughts and boundaries regarding religion. I attended religious schools and my husband was brought up in a small farm country church.
When expressing our desires for our future children. My husband thinks circumsition is ok despite the large amount of scar tissue he has from his and the statistics surrounding circumsition. He also wants our babies baptistized.
I feel and know in my heart that God made every baby in his own image and babies are perfect and do not need to be circumcised. Our bodies are PERFECTLY capable of taking care of themselves when we treat our body well. He disagrees.
As a young child I took myself to church to escape the abuse I grew up in. I was baptized at the age of 12 at my own will and understanding. I want my children to be baptized on their own terms not as an infant for the sake of "tradition" I will raise them in a good church and establish good boundaries. However as soon as they feel it's not for them or for them. I want to help them make their own decisions.
I just don't want to shove God down their throats or for them to go to church the rest of their lives because it's what they've always done.
Any encouraging thoughts?
