We once were blind.....

We once were blind but now we can see....

Our life has changed and it continues to change drastically. That sentence seems a bit funny to me. Everybody experiences changes..nothing out of the ordinary right? But what I am talking about major deep life altering changes.

We had a plan...and I love plans. We talked about how after Puerto Rico we would start trying for a baby. We both were very excited for this next adventure. We started looking at houses and even talked about putting our townhouse up for sale in October. We thought we were ready for bigger and better things. Did I mention we had a plan and I was all for it. Funny how things sometimes don't go according to OUR plans.

Once we let go of our control, that plan we once created for ourselves was not the plan that God has for us. Talk about a major shocker. It was as if we were going to go through the above motions because we thought those were the next steps we needed to take.

In all reality, we have a townhouse that is big enough for us right now even if we have a baby or two. We don’t need a bigger house. Some might say this is the next step we should take….but that does not necessarily mean we should do it.

And although we have not tried to have biological children yet; our dreams of wanting to have them are still very much alive but maybe this is just not the right time for us to have them. For me, not having a baby right now was a bit hard to accept. I am not getting any younger (most married women at my age either have kid (s) or are trying) but who puts age limits on having children? Our society might but not God and not my husband and not me (anymore)

So what does this all mean? We are living in this very moment. Plans are not always to be made and although we might think we know what we will be doing in the next few months all of this could change. We want to stay focused on His plan for us.

Right now..living in the moment, for our family, we have decided to think a bit outside the box (and if you know us well you know this is something we are good at) We are listening to God's voice now. May these next steps in our journey together be to glorify God in all we do and all that we continue to do....
