Baby proof

Cant think of a good title for this. Yesterday morning, I had a good conversation with a taxi driver, Timoteo. He was nice enough to share his thoughts and ideas about the government, about how Filipinos act and think, and most especially how he has been in life. He was the driver who returned the 200K and 2 laptops last year to the foreigners who rode his cab. In return, the foreigners fixed his roof, bathroom and even installed electricity for his humble home.

Congratulations Kuya Timoteo. Your good deed is an inspiration to all of us.

Anyway, in the middle of our conversation, he told me about his family. I shared him sentiments of how much I wanted to have kids of my own now. He told me that at this early, I should already start thinking of having kids. Having your own child and watching them grownis the best feeling in the whole world according to him. They only live by with what they have but he's happy enough that his kids will be able to get throught college and are studying hard. He can only give what he can but he makes sure that his whole family is happy.

I share the same thoughts. I want to have my own kids too and the sooner, the better. I know I'm still young and have a lot ahead of me but for me, I'm already at that point in my life wherein a family is what I dream to have for my own. I imagine myself being a mother: caring, loving and giving what I can for my child. I'm happy now that I have a job, a career that is going places, but I also want to share this with someone and dream of a good future together. That dream right now is a blur, but I can imagine myself having a kid.

Strange isn't it? Wanting to have a kid but not imagining the getting married part.

A good friend of mine shared to me his own views. He said that I should try and enjoy my singlehood. Go abroad, explore and have fun while I still have the chance. Having a child is great but one must be sure if they are ready for it. It takes alot of patience and hardwork when you have a child. He said he's been there before. He loves his family but for me, he said that I should also think about it. "Enjoy and have fun. You'll get there when God says so." Nice message.

I always did think that whatever it is that I want to have, I won't be able to get it. Not until God says it's time. I guess the things that are happening right now in my life means that I'm all ready for this and will be able to handle it well. The gospel last Sunday teaches us to prioritize, put God first and your family. I guess God is telling me right now to have fun... I haven't had the chance to experience all of my plans, the plans that He shares the same with me.

Someday soon, He will put my list that it's time for the next step in my life.. to be a mommy :)

Almost

I thought this is it, and I was nervous and excited of the possibility of it happening. This was the chance, the dream, I was hoping would come true.

But I guess God, though has those plans for me, decided to postpone it and said, "Not just yet."

I guess I still have alot to do before I get to that level.

On a side note, I'm glad atleast that even though he doesn't say it loud or everytime, he thinks of making a better future for us.

This is it part 2?
