I have a teddy named Faith…A giant brown bear that means so much.
Rob and I went to Art in the Park today and one stall had all these stuffed animals. Rob was instantly attracted to this giant brown bear, turns out he had a similar one as a little boy.
I got sad thinking we would never get to give our little boy a teddy like that, the best we can do is an attractive grave site (not a pleasant thought)
Suddenly Rob decides to buy the bear. I told him I really didn’t have use for a giant bear but he insisted and after he purchased it, told me that the bear was not for me, its for our future child.
That is how strong his faith is, he whole heartedly believes that we will be blessed again. (After months of physical healing for me and emotional healing for both of us naturally)
I stood in awe of his faith. After what I’ve physically been through, even the doctor telling me, “there is no reason you can’t have a healthy pregnancy” doesn’t have me convinced, especially since she can’t give me medical reason for what happened.
So it’s so amazing to have Rob’s faith to lean on. While I grapple with doubt, he is so confident, he bought our unborn (unconceived even) child a gift today.
WOW
Well that’s why I named the teddy Faith 🙂
It takes a leap of faith to even think of a future family so I’m really glad I have Rob to take the leap with me
