Blog Every Day in May: Thing I am most afraid of...
The thing I am most afraid of... this may sound silly to some, that I won't ever get married and have a family. I love my aunt but when I broke up with my ex, she said, "have you ever thought of the fact that maybe God made you to be alone." This has freaked me out for 2 entire years. Since I was a little girl I have wanted to get married and be a mom. I came to the determination a couple of months ago that if by 32 I am not engaged or have a prospect that I will adopt a baby from Vietnam.
The family that I babysat for for 3 years adopted 2 of their 3 children from Vietnam and they are the loves of my life. I stopped babysitting for them during the week this year when I took on my new job, but go as often as possible to still see them. I hope that I can have this dream with or without a husband. It takes a special man to appreciate and understand adoption. Just because you don't physically have the baby doesn't mean you won't love it to pieces. I can't wait to see where my future goes in terms of a family.
Until next time...
I worry about the same thing. After being single again it's something I think about often. Glad I'm not the only one!
ReplyDeleteOh Amy! You are my new bff, you will have to share your stories with me often!
DeleteOh Mandy, don't worry! God definitely didn't make you with the intention of being alone!! I know you'll find the PERFECT husband who will understand and support your dreams!
ReplyDeleteCourtney you are amazing, thank so much for your support. Can't wait to find Mr. Perfect for Me.
DeleteMy pastor made an excellent point once...some people aren't meant to be married - biblically the fact is there. But, for MOST people marriage IS in his plan. Likely if you've been given the desire, it is for a reason. The hard part is patience with HIS timing.
ReplyDeleteWhat would I do without you Mrs. Bekah!
