What does it really mean to be Quiverfull?
Some only wear dresses, while others wear pants...
Some cover and some don't...
Some birth their children at home (assisted and unassisted) and some at hospitals (all natural and c-sec) or birth centers...
Some home school, while others send their children to private or public schools... A few do a little bit of both...
While most are Protestant Christians... There are a few Roman Catholics like myself.... Some are Jewish, or another faith and some are no particular faith tradition at all...
Some only eat whole-earth/organic foods, some eat chocolate and Big Macs.
Most are from the USA, but many live around the globe....
For some couples, both spouses are Quiverfull minded... For others, only one is...
Some have adopted, some have only children they've borne... A few have both...
Some have more than a dozen children, some have only a few, yet others have none...
Some are country mice who live off the grid, some are city mice and quite a few are in between...
To summarize those who are Quiverfull are as diverse as any other 'group'... The goal of being quivefull is to TRUST in GOD... Not to have as many children as possible as quickly as possible... As stated above some have many, some have few and others have none at all... We all share together that God will open or close our wombs when HE chooses... We are to surrender completely to HIS Will and follow HIS path that he has designed for each one of us individually...
I hope that clears up some confusion surrounding being Quiverfull... Excellent resource to access is http://www.quiverfull.com/
Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed When they speak with their enemies in the gate.
Psalm 127:3-5
