Babies Change EVERYTHING: Getting Over Myself


To this point Kelly and I could do practically whatever we wanted when ever we wanted to do it… i.e. NO kids… Now I knew that was going to change once I was startled awake by Kelly’s frantic screams of joy coming from the bathroom one early morning about 8 months ago. However, at that point, though a mere 9 months away from our life changing experience, it felt more like 9 years away…


Now here we are with the last month looming over me (well, us…) as if to say ‘enjoy your life as you know it while you can, because all of this… yeah it’s out the window once lil Nate comes!’ That means No more working the same shift with Kelly at the same job with Kelly, and since we both need to work, and we can’t do the daycare thing without really handing over one of our monthly paychecks every month, so we need to work opposite schedules so the only time we will get to see each other is when we are sleeping together… And I mean sleeping! Not the other fun thing that comes to mind!


However… After all that I have been through in my life, and after all that God has helped me through, I must remember to look to Him for guidance through this rough time. Yes, though Kelly and I hate not seeing each other (that’s why we got married) we will figure something out. Yeah, my dreams of becoming a pastor may be pushed back another couple of years as will Kelly’s dreams of becoming a mass market published author, but then again, God does work in mysterious, weird, wonderful and interesting ways… 


Plus, we need the adventure of raising a boy!
