Hello, 2020

You feel so similar to that first conversation you have with a brand new friend. You’re fresh; you’re different; you’re unknown. And also, I feel guarded. I’m unaware of what you’ll bring; if you’re sincere; what you’re intentions are. So I keep my toes splashing in the shallow end while I take my time trying to figure out your maximum depth.

We’ve finally settled on a direction. It took us several conversations. The thread of our lips strung us down several different paths in exploration. We’ve settled on IUI. It feels unobtainable, financially. It feels uncertain, given the probability. But it’s an avenue we’re going to chance, hand-in-hand.

2020 - be kind to us. Open your doors & reward us with fulfilled promises. Let it be a year of songs of your goodness. Let it be a year of floating in the waters of your gentleness.

Tenderly we embark.

Vulnerably we advance forward.

Fingers & hearts crossed we carry His promises into this year, in equally hesitant but hopeful expectation.
