there is always new seasons in life. they should always be expected and anticipated without looking so forward to them that you forget that present. i guess we just never knew this one would be coming so quickly.
well here we are. this is quite an exciting time. many of you who know me that i can hardly wait in anticipation for any amount of time, so 9 months is just ridiculous. thats a long time of anticipation. boy or girl? living here or there?
I actually currently feel as though I am in some sort of alternate universe where my mind is wondering elsewhere constantly but I am still somehow here in the present. Often today while teaching, I would just lose my train of thought or find myself starting a problem, "the square root of 49 is...'wow im going to be a dad'..." (student chimes in, "dont you know the answer Mr. Ruiz") then i quickly catch myself and give the answer.
But what a fantastic new beginning this is. A new experience in life. A new experience in marriage. A new experience in knowing the Lord. As each step of my life has progressed and I think I understand something about the Lord, it is continually shown to me his character, grace, many of the infinite qualities through relationships. No relationship has taught me more (and no other relationship will) about the Lord than being married to Jocelyn. Such an awesome display of the church and his people can be seen in marriage. So the fantastic new part of it, is continuing in sharing that marriage but now with a child. To experience what it means to be a father and mother in relationship to our child will certainly be a another glimpse of God's character.
it is an exciting time, much to be learned, taught, and saught after.
by the way, all of this is insane and crazy, but i guess that is what is to be expected.
