Day 3 of my miracles life.
I am writing this post but a week before i meet my miracle… And while you may be reading it now, i know that nothing in my heart will have changed.
There are some things in life that we have to accept, that nothing and no one is perfect, and that while we want to be the best parents we can be, somethings in life i believe we need to let others help us with. We may think that people know how we feel, we may think that the people closest to us know just what we want and just what we need, but the truth be told – they dont.
I know at this point in time my miracle is still within me, not exposed to reality yet, not yet out there for the world to harm… And it maybe sometime before the world has a chance to get its hands on the one i treasure so much, but before that happens, before technology, before life, and before evils get a chance to take hold i want my miracle to be surrounded by what i believe in and what i know to be true, what has made my life what it is, and brought me to who i am today. I want my miracle to be surrounded by the same faith, the same influences and the same beliefs as i was.
And like many people, like many parents i should say, i want my miracle to have the best possible Godparents to teach him all about faith, love, and where we have come from.
I dont know what most people class Godparents to be, weather it be the people who care for your child (heaven forbid) if something happens to the parents, or whether it means simply for someone else to help bring your child to understanding the ways of Christ, the ways of your faith, what is right, what is wrong… I believe it is the latter…
I believe that in choosing Godparents, we are choosing two people who will help us bring our child into the world that we believe in, two people who know what we know, and two people who have strong beliefs, and who are simply willing to pick up your child and say – have faith, God is listening.
I know now, and i have known for a while that my choices are my own and that the decision i make on this role had to be from my own heart. And because of that my choices for this role for my miracle are something i have thought about for so long, and through all that we have been through, and through all that my husband and i have experienced, we believe there are two very special people who could be the only ones for this role.
I know that the decision we have made is the right one, and i know that while it may seem different to what was expected, i do it for reasons of faith – and because of that, i know it is the right one.
One week from now i will be a mother. You may be reading this in one week, you may be reading this a few days after i have become a mother, but i know that no matter when you read this, no matter what the day, what the situation – my heart will feel the same.
I have chosen the two most precious people to be the Godparents of my miracle, and today one week from the day we meet my miracle – i get to tell them.
