Having a hard time lately struggling to connect or relate with anyone. I feel like we are struck in the middle between single friends and married with children. We've got a ton of single friends who we adore, but we are in different life stages. So we choose to only spend so much time with them as we need to be developing relationships with other married couples, but then we run into the problem of all our married friends having children or children on the way.
It's getting hard to spend a lot of time with people who have children because all they talk about is their children. I long so much to be a mother! There is part of me that feels so completely sinful that I can't just be content with my circumstances as if longing to be a mother is a bad thing. I get angry with myself when I am sad because others have children to talk about, but at the same time I think I need to protect my heart a little. I feel so struck with how I feel and the emotions involved in this process.
I have to say I am blessed because I have met a few people who I can talk to about this struggle who understand my struggle and have been there. God has been very good to me in this area and I am so thankful for those friendships.
