Tonight I was at bible study with my group of ladies that meet weekly. We take turns meeting at each other's houses and eating meals together before our discussions. Tonight's topic over dinner ended up morphing into stories about children/grandchildren and favorite memories and stages of watching them growing up. I was the only person at the table who doesn't have children and who isn't anywhere near having children. It made me very melancholy sitting there listening to their stories. I enjoyed their stories and loved seeing the joy in their eyes while talking about their little loved ones. However, there was an ache in my heart. I'm so ready to have a family. I know that God has a plan and I must trust that he has all of those desires in my heart under control. He alone knows the perfect timing and what is truly right for me. But, still saddens me. To top off the evening, several of us went to visit a friend whose family moved into a new house down the street. This is a childhood friend who has a beautiful wife and two gorgeous children. They were so happy. After the dinner conversation, I was a little teary eyed watching him interact with his son. God, I can't wait till you bring that to pass in my life....I trust you have the perfect plan....I can see you already working in my life...I just ask that I don't have to wait too much longer.
