Speaking of babies...

It is amazing to me how many of my friends/ co-workers are pregnant right now or have just had a baby. I am blessed to be apart of their lives and watch as they start or expand their precious families. However, along with that comes the baby fever. The overwhelming urge to want us to have a baby as well. It is so much fun to hold their babies and play with them and love on them. Then they spit up or cry or do other things babies do. And then reality hits me. We have only been married a year (almost) so we are still adjusting to life as a married couple, we just bought a new house, we both want to travel and just be married for a little while. When we do have children I want us to hopefully be in a position where I can stay home with them. Obviously, now is not the right time.

It also doesn't help that ever since we got married people are constantly asking when are we going to have a baby. You can ask anyone who is newly married and they will say the same thing happened to them. I am constantly surrounded by these things and it is hard not to catch myself thinking about how exciting it will be to feel that little life growing inside me or what it will be like to watch my children grow up and learn new things every day.

Right now my prayer is that the Lord continue to work in us and mold us to be more like Him. I want to seek Him daily. I want our faith to be abundant no matter what circumstances life brings. I know when the time is right He will prepare us in every way to be parents. He will prepare us to teach our children what it means to love and serve our mighty God. I pray that he will give us patient hearts to wait for His perfect timing. We are both very blessed and I can not wait to see what He will continue to do through us!
