9 years ago I received a wonderful promise from God. A promise that I would one day have a baby. I kid you not and I wish I were making it up sometimes. Now? I've got this OVERBEARING feeling that that promise is finally not only close, not only being fulfilled but that its finally after all this time, all this waiting, all this praying, all this faith, all this hope, finally here. The feeling started around my vision changes and has been growing stronger every day. Now? Im exploding with this feeling with this joy, with this queasiness, with this fear, because what ive been waiting for all of this time might finally become a reality. Tomorrow morning? I will know for sure because my wife will take a pregnancy test but as of today she is on day 31 of her period and she hasn't gotten one yet, she is experiencing mild cramps where she has never experienced cramps on an upcoming period before which to me is a powerful sign and all of the signs are starting to point towards after all of this time, after nearly 40 years of being alive im going to be a father. And not just a father one of the greatest fathers who have ever existed. And if it turns out she is not pregnant afterall? Than it doesnt mean Gods promise has failed it just means his perfect timing isnt being fulfilled quite yet and i accept that. Anyway, let us pray together. Pray that if its within Gods will that Gods promise be fulfilled now, that i be the amazing father that I want to be. That God equip me for all of it. Because I am still terrified of holding my baby. Especially during the first two weeks of its life and it cant support its own head. I dont want to hurt my own child and... im terrified I will. I want God to take this anxiety away from me. I want to hold my child, laugh with my child, be the best father I can be and be the father that I wasnt the uncle to to my nieces... forever.
Sorry for making a separate thread about this but my last thread was getting a little long, and this is a completely new and completely separate topic.
