fear of the future and unknowns Manda Jane said...

I understand where you are coming from. Even though I have my 3 full time step-kids, the thought of having a newborn sometimes terrifies me. I wonder if this is the right time - my new business is one year old and growing like crazy and taking up so much of my time. But, then I ask myself, 'is there ever a good time?' I said a prayer for you and your husband last night. You have no idea how much this series has meant to me. We are hopefully starting the domestic adoption journey at the beginning of 2014 and I'm in a very good place and quite excited!

Worrying over the future is an all-too-common habit of ours but it never really accomplishes anything worthwhile, does it? I really like the colors of your scarf!

I am also a full-time stepmama to a 6.5 year old, and wonder these exact same things. My husband's career is at a crossroads, I'm still trying to figure out how I can accomplish my goals around the Air Force and uncertainty, and how I will balance it all if/when we are blessed with a baby. I think it's impossible to worry about the future, but it's definitely reassuring to know that we are not alone. Think of you and Scott often!
