Life has changed so quickly in the last year. Marriages, multiple movings and job switches by friends and family have become a normalcy. I realized this balance was changing again when I started to receive baby shower invites as opposed to wedding invitations. Another change God has sent to bless us and others with.
The funny thing is, it seems not not only be friends and family state wide who are expecting, but mostly in our area. In our church alone, there have been 12 pregnancies announcements/births in the last 6 months! Mike and I keep getting the eye from others as to imply 'When is your announcment coming? Have you drank the water?' To that, we laugh and say, 'Not yet. We filter ours'. :)
I know that I am not ready to have a child. I have many things about myself that I know need to be addressed - continuing to expand my business, working on our relationship as a couple, etc. Many may say 'You never are ready', but I want to make sure that Mike and I are both spiritually, mentally and financially on the same page before this happens. Will all of these be accomplished when God decides its the right time for us? Probably not on the financial end (we're working on it! :) but I know that its all in God's hands and he will never give us more than we can handle together. His blessings are infinate and always come at the right time.
