Our Time

My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for two years. It has been an interesting journey, but we have been greatly blessed.

I have had a harder time than my husband (because us girls are just emotional like that) but in recent months we have been blessed with peace. With that peace, we have come to see all the wonderful blessing that we are able to experience while we are waiting for our family to start.

I have realized that the only other time we will have to just be US will be after our children are gone, and even then it will never be exactly the same.

I don't condone putting off a family for selfish reasons, even reasons of "US TIME" because it can be taken too far, or become an excuse. But starting a family is a personal choice. It is solely between you as a couple, and the Lord. When we have trust and faith in the Lord, he will bless us with a family when the time is right.

May I suggest, if you find yourself in a similar situation of wanting a family but not being blessed with one yet, that you find the good in the situation instead of stressing over something you don't have control over. Use this time to decide how you will parent. Learn a new skill. Find a way to serve those around you. But most importantly, enjoy the time that you have together and create some forever memories.
