Hey everyone! Like I said on our combined blog that I was going to attempt to share a little bit of something that's been tugging on my heart strings on this blog. This is not directed toward one certain circumstance by any meanings, but rather an accumulation over the last few years that is hitting home more now so then before.
It seems that more and more people are becoming pregnant in times in which they are not prepared or ready. It's beginning to break my heart. I see many of these situations pop up (or out) and the next minute hear or read a story about a couple longing for a baby with all of their heart, souls, and minds. This my friends, is so heart wrenching to me. Especially considering the fact that SOME of these couples or mothers are keeping the babies, resentfully, without proper love and care, and there are adoptive families longing to give the love the child so very much deserves. Some have risen to the challenged and allowed God to transform their lives in the midst of the situation. Kudos to those folks. This situation however, begins my thoughts on my hopes in dreams, as a future parent, God willing. I absolutely, with every ounce of my being adore infants, thus dedicating my life to saving the lives of those less fortunate. It is with that adoration and deep love that I (We) am (are) waiting until I am finished with my degree and are established strongly emotionally, financially, martially and hopefully, spiritually to add to our family. Like most parents, I deeply desire to give my child (or children) all the love and care that I possibly can. It deeply saddens, angers, and worries me that so many children will never be given this or even have it desired for their life. With every story my heart breaks a little more.
I want our child to know that we waited to give them the absolute best in life, which is exactly what they deserve. It is my prayer that God will mold me in ways to be the best future parent I, myself, and we as a couple can be, and not only that but, how to reach out to those who are not in the same situation.
