Have you ever been someplace when all of the sudden you see a vision of where you're supposed to be and what you're supposed to be doing that has nothing to do with where you currently are or doing? Confused?
I have and it's usually while I'm at work or getting ready for work. I'll just be doing my thing, minding my own business, when all of the sudden this vision comes to me of what I should be doing and it usually leave me confused, sad and regretful. I've desired to be a mommy for a long time but have not been blessed to have any kids yet. I've found that the more time goes by, the stronger the desire gets. It's now so strong that this (the visions) has started to happen to me. I get a visions of me doing laundry while my kids are playing, or holding my baby or going on a walk w/it and the dog while my honey is gone at work. It's almost like a little voice in my head saying, "You don't belong here. This is what you should be doing. This is what I've called you to do."
Instead of finding any fulfillment in this summer, I've had a growing dissatisfaction that won't go away. It started to really present it's self last fall (2007) and has kept growing as much as I try to suppress it. I'm in the late 20's early 30's age group, so I know I'm not completely running out of time but I definitely am feeling the ticking of the clock.
As a kid I always pictured myself married with kids by now. Before last fall I was fine with waiting, and focusing on my marriage and work. But now, it seems like it's all my body/head can think about. I'm consumed by this desire to be a mommy and it won't go away. At the end of spring, my honey and I had "the talk" and decided to stop trying to prevent from getting pregnant. My husband and I want to have kids, we've always wanted to but he didn't feel ready until this year. We aren't actively trying to prevent pregnancy at all. I haven't been on the pill for over 2 years (I was only on it for one year.) Still no kids.
People around us are having babies but not us. I'm more frustrated and discouraged by this than my husband is. He's the one who has to remind me that God will give us kids in His time and not our time. He's the patient one in the family when it comes to desires of the heart. I am the impatient one. We balance each other out. :)
Still waiting...
