Looking up

Ok, so after talking to my friends and reviewing finances I am feeling better about being comfortable bringing a child into the world. My stress level has gone down and my worries are being shaken. Thank you Jesus!! :) However, today there was one of the top 5 strongest earthquakes of all time in Japan. It has triggered a tsunami in Japan and tsunami warnings in Hawaii and all the way to the west coast of the US. How scary?! It seems that everytime I turn around there is another natural disaster happening in the world. Now....I have to say that I don't know a lot about the Bible (although I would like to!) but I can't help but wonder if all these natural disasters are the 'Beginning of the End'. I have wondered this for a while now and I've gotten different views and opinions on this topic from people I know. Some say yes, some say no. I have no idea. Only He knows. But, the point of that is that thoughts run thru my head and make me wonder if I want to or should we bring a child into the world knowing all these disasters are happening. I know you are supposed to have children to make the world a better place and to bring joy to your life. I just don't know if I want to put myself in a position that would be set up for heartbreak. I wonder if these thoughts go thru other people's heads when they think of having children or they think of the children they already have. Your main purpose when you have kids is to protect them. I know I think too much about things like this. I dwell on things, i'm terribly indecisive and I'm a product of my father who does the SAME thing. (Love you dad!) I just wish I had the answers to everything...but I guess that's life. That's the point of life is to go thru and just figure it out as you go. This is a HUGE challenge for me as for some reason I have become a person who plans their life away. I really think that one day something crazy is going to happen and totally ruin my plans and then I will stop planning. But until then, I still worry. I pray that my worries and fears will be eased......please pray for me to if you read this.
