Two years ago, my wife Sara and I joyfully welcomed Henry into our family. These are some of the thoughts and prayers that I had along the way.
Even though we always thought that children would eventually be a part of our family, when we found out that Sara was pregnant, I felt a mixture of awe and anxiety. I had no experience helping during pregnancy or delivery, nor with caring for an infant. I had no nieces or nephews, no baby-sitting experience. I'd never even changed a diaper. An overwhelming sense of personal responsibility swept over me. Could we afford a baby? How would I balance parenthood with my job and community work? How would I handle the delivery?
I felt like I had no other choice but to turn to God for comfort and guidance. And I can honestly say, He didn't let me down.
