Scott's First Post

Well, the time is coming quickly and this is becoming more and more real for me. I am part of bringing a child into this world. Oh my! Lord, grant me wisdom, understanding, and mercy. This has been a blessed journey thus far. Angela has had a marvelous pregnancy to this point, which I think has really helped me out a lot with the amount of things on my plate. Every now and then, I have a dream that our baby has been born and in my dreams I've been such a proud father. In my latest dream, I remember holding our new child (which was a boy in the dream) and interacting with him. I was having conversation and talking with our baby, even though he was so young. I remember being so happy and motivated to introduce life to him. It seemed in the moments of the dream, my little son developed so quickly from infancy to talking. I wonder if God may be giving me these subtle dreams and experiences to give me a flavor of the joys and plans for parenthood that he has for me (us). I wonder if the dream was a representation of the reality of how short life really is, how fast it does go by and the great need to make the absolute best of each moment and milestone that we have and will have with our children. This is becoming so real. This is what I have been preparing for. My life is about to change.
