hopes, dreams, fears and tears

ummmm, how do I put this.
I am a little frustrated at the moment. Not at anyone, I just want to make that clear.
Well, I am young, married and have no children.
I have many friends but...I feel like I am stuck in this odd place...The friends I have either are single, or married with kids.

AHHH! What do I do? My single friends can't relate to me and I can't relate to my married with kids friends since I have no children.

I just found out one of my friends is pregnant with her and her husbands first child and I am excited for them, but at the same time sad.
I want children, but I don't think now would be a good time, financially or emotionally.
I often think about what it would be like to be a mom, I think I would really enjoy it, but after I think about it I feel a little sad because what if it's not God's will and then I also think about how I won't be able to do the things I want to do because I will be fully dedicated to my children.
But would I be willing to give it all up ? Yeah I think I would.

Then there is also the factor of, can I even have children, and do I even want to find out and only get my heart broken.
Adoption is definitely a goal for me and my husband, but there is still that desire to birth my own child, to experience bringing a new life into this world.

I have all these dreams and goals, and life is to short...I don't want to spend my whole life catching the wind.

I am sure I sound really indecisive.

Just some thoughts and feelings I had to get off my chest.

I am grateful though that I do have what I have now.
This time in my life is precious, I am learning so much.
God, thank you for being here, for being real. Open my heart and show me what I need to learn during this time in my life.
I have fears...I don't want them.
It's in your hands.

Love,
Jess

oh i am glad you wrote what you were thinking. it is such a hard to place to be. we have always been in that weird place, being young with kids, which you dont always fit in any category either. you are exactly where god wants you and it can be so hard to find peace in that!!!! it is funny to think about people wanting to be moms and i was just joking with keith today how great it would be to go go jail for a week-so quiet, they would cook for me, no one would bug me.
