The One Gift I Really Wanted in 2017

I say this with deep sadness and regret, that God has blessed me this year, but the one Gift I really wanted, prayed and hoped for was to hold our first child in my hands and stare at her sparkling eyes staring right back at me. I never imagined this moment, 1 year later, with no child, having waited all my life for this year, the year that I was ready to have our baby. I never imagined myself being the woman who has it all except a child. Oh Lord please don’t, please don’t make me this woman. I wanted to surprise my parents with their first grandchild, not to have them walk a “trying” journey with me! Sad as it is, i still have hope deep down, that in 2018 I’ll be a mother. Because I can’t imagine it any other way. God’s delays are never denials. I choose to have faith.

To all the ladies waiting for their miracle baby, know that you’re not alone. I pray for God’s mercy on us. May 2018 bring us good news!
