I've started wondering that...I know what you mean. I've started wondering that myself - do I want a child SO desperately because I am in the habit of wanting one so desperately? Would I be OK if God's plan for my life didn't include that? What I keep getting tripped up on is that whatever else I'm supposed to be doing with my life needs to be big enough to fill that hole, the defining part of my next forty years or so - and I can't imagine anything that big. Do they make purposes that big? <BR/><BR/>All I can think of to do is to try to live my life NOW - not in suspended animation because my real life hasn't started yet (i.e., no baby), and not in despair and hysterics that I don't have a child, but to live each day well for its own sake. I've made no progress at this so far, but it's a notion. <BR/><BR/>I hope you're able to discern where your life is headed and embrace it with strength and grace and courage and joy and zeal, and I pray that that's motherhood!the misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05206278843624907697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1162211031344228004.post-57544756334903656062009-01-27T14:23:00.000-05:002009-01-27T14:23:00.000-05:00I'm not into trying to offer people advice about h...I'm not into trying to offer people advice about how to handle things - just wanted you to know that I feel what you're feeling too. After 6 losses it makes me question whether I'm supposed to be a mom. But I desire it so much. It's what I've always wanted to do. I'm trying to find a purpose for my life right now, while I wait, but I'm holding out hope that motherhood will still be in my future. Oh, but I know it's so hard to wait and wonder!<BR/><BR/>Hugs to you.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04939987028726182741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1162211031344228004.post-88346326081679149742009-01-27T11:33:00.000-05:002009-01-27T11:33:00.000-05:00I haven't got words either... jjust, I think I get...I haven't got words either... jjust, I think I get it...
