One day at a time....

One day at a time…we are surrounded by sadness, surreal-ness, anticipation, packed and unpacked boxes and full imaginations. Our life as a married couple has been one giant journey of surreal-ness. You see, we are often, if not always, in transition. We don’t always like it and it is often a lot of work but we do live it and embrace it in every way we know how. We pack our box o’ hope and sweet chocolate blue bunny and we dream a little more, our longing grows greater. Today as we bask in the surreal-ness and all that comes with it we are pondering parenthood. We wonder, if and when we have the opportunity to be mommy and daddy will we feel a sense of surreal-ness? We imagine that yes we will. And then we remember that we are good at experiencing surreal-ness, we have a lot of practice at it, we are ready for a little or a lot more. We long for it if it means we can have little God-given children to wrap our arms around the same way we imagine our sweet Jesus wrapping his arms around us…one day at a time. We will make it through this journey….one day at a time. In the midst of our longing please Jesus we ask you to listen to us, hold us, cry with us and give us the deep longing-filled desires of our hearts.
