Babies, Babies and More Babies!!!
Tawas City, Michigan
Hazlehurst, Georgia
Allentown, Pennsylvania
What do these three parts of the U.S. have in common???
These are all places where friends and family of mine are having babies!!!
Kevin's wife's twin sister gave birth to a little girl a week ago Sunday, and Kari (Kevin's wife) is due within the next few weeks. My longtime best friend Ricky and his wife just had their first child, another girl, in Georgia. And this past weekend my cousin Laura (You'll remember her from my vacation pics) gave birth to, you guessed it, a girl!!!
It's always so nice to see and hear of another precious little one coming into the world, but it sure turns up the pressure for me!!! I've heard it said more times then I care to recall this past week..."So, when are you going to get married and have kids???"
It's no secret that I long to be a father someday, but let's face it, I am just not ready yet. Until God is able to get things straightened out in my life, it's not going to happen.
Personally, I'm just looking forward to leading a normal, relatively calm life someday!!!
Tonight as I write this, I am sitting at church in the Prayer Call Center, waiting for people to call in needing prayer. I'm not sure that I am a worthy candidate for this now, but I want to do something for God, and if this will be pleasing to Him, then it's a good thing.
I love you all so very much, as always.
Your Friend,
-Richard.

Great thing to do, helping at the Prayer Call Center. Serving the Lord by serving others is such an awesome privilege.
I so know what you mean; I don't feel anywhere near marriage.
Isn't that the sad irony of this struggle? At least for me, the more I explore the root causes of my struggle, my emotions, past relationships, etc., I find my self wanting more and more to be a father so that I can do a better job in raising a son. Sort of as a way of regaining what I don't have with my own father. The irony is that that same struggle makes me fear that that will never happen for me.
