I am a person with faith. My life has always been a rollercoaster and without my faith, I would probably be lost. When a person is filled with faith, it is said that there is no room for fear. I use to believe that wholeheartedly, until recently.
I married my high school sweetheart. We dated for ten years, YES I KNOW forever, but we are finally married and will celebrate our two years in October.
Finding the man to marry - check, marrying him - check.....what comes next? Starting a family is what comes next in our book. In the ten years of dating, we shared several conversations about our desires for a family; how many children? what will their names be?
So here we are about to hit two years of really, really trying to start our little family....and we have hit a road block. Now, I wasn't sure about going the route of KNOWING why we have been unable to conceive because my faith tells me that if it's God's will, it will come on his time.... but a few mths ago, I made the choice to check myself out. Preliminary results show that we will indeed have some setbacks. I have been sitting on this for almost two months, I still have tests to do and choices to make. Meanwhile, he and I are having a whirlwind of a life because there is always someone with bigger problems than ourselves. My husbands mind has been overwhelmed with his father's illness and my heart is still grieving the death of my grandma, but when I am alone with my thoughts...and when I can no longer cry, I have this lump in my throat, this fear in my heart and a cloud of doubt on my mind.
Does it make me a hypocrite to have this fear inside me even though I am a woman of faith! The daughter of a wonderful, loving King. I cant help, but wonder and yet I cannot get myself to move onto the next step in this process of starting our little family.
-Always Faithful
