As we journey through our new life together as husband and wife in Christ, I'll use this space to detail some of our happenings every now and again. It'll be so neat to look back on this to see how much we have grown together!

Aching Heart

Posted Monday, March 17, 2008 6:58 PM

Man, what a day so far.  This morning, I went to go put my lunch bag in the fridge at work.  There's one lady here who, as I learned this morning, is due in 4-weeks, and she was in the refresh area chatting with some others about it.  I thought about how I long for the point where it's almost baby time for us, but I'm cool, I'm cool...

So I was cool until about 10 minutes ago.  One of the higher-ups in our department brought his family in, which includes a 7-week old.  I haven't gone over there to see his family, and I don't think I can.  My heart is literally aching right now because everything is just so uncertain with baby timing for us.  Walking through the baby aisle at Target yesterday, even my husband whimpered a little about how he wanted a baby.  I talked with him later in the evening about everything that was kind of sitting on my heart, and he mentioned how much it all was starting to weigh him down, too.

I know I talk/think about it too much at times, but how can I not when it surrounds us?  It's completely in His hands,  but it's so hard to let go of our own desires sometimes.  I know His timing is perfect and will bless us incredibly.  I need to trust more in that.  I'm doing much better, but I definitely could still use some work.

Just had to vent about that.  I managed not to cry, so that's a plus.  ^.~

re: Aching Heart

That is exactly how I felt when the five-week old infant came into the office the other day.  I just sat in my chair and couldn't even look at it because I thought I was going to break down right then and there.  I didn't put on my post that my DH saw me crying when I came home from lunch and started yelling at me b/c I wouldn't tell him what was wrong.  I didn't want him to laugh at me.  He really doesn't get it.

re: Aching Heart

I'm so sorry.  I can't relate because I never really had that aching desire like you have.  It never broke my heart to see a baby, even when it was 6+ months of us actually trying to have a baby.  But I know a lot of people feel the way you do.  I hope it gets better.

re: Aching Heart

His will, not ours...  it is the most comforting thing in my life, but sometimes the hardest to accept...

When I start to question His timing, I stop right where I am and pray for strength to accept the life He has created for me, in the time He plans...

In God's perfect time your family will grow, and you will have a kindness and understanding for those who feel as you do now when they look at your baby with the longing you now have...  

Be strong... but be gentle with yourself when you feel sad or impatient...  perhaps in prayer you will find answers about God's timing for you and your family.

re: Aching Heart

I said a prayer for you today while I was riding the train home.  I'm sure God's plan is already in motion.  In the meantime, have fun practicing!!!! :)

We are married as of July 7th! I strive to be a Proverbs 31 wife and am thankful for each day I have the opportunity to grow by my husband's side. ^^;; We are trying to get a few things sorted for now so that we can head down the path God has paved for us full force!
