His Voice

What God has been teaching me in October


HIS ways.
His ways, His plans, His purposes
far outweigh my little, unimaginative dreams.
That He has me in the palm of His hand. 

More on relationships --- they truly are messy little {BIG} things.
Trying to be completely real with people, not the fake real,
is hard work for me.

Trying to face my struggles in my marriage.
The fact that submission shouldn't be seen as dirty, but freeing.
The fact that I can't seem to think that way.
I have a lot of growing to do.

That children need security. They need a place to call home.
More than my wanting to adopt.

I've really been learning, especially this week,
that mothering does NOT get easier the older my children 
In fact, it's harder.
I didn't think peer pressure would already be starting, but it is.
This past week I have felt very much less than.
Very much just so un-put together.
Such a mess. 
Thankfully HIS grace --- is far greater than how much I'm not that put together mom.
Thankfully HE loves my children more than I do.

Hello if you don't know me I'm Katie I {obviously} blog here and you can find my instagram & twitter ---> Two things in my bag: 1. My cute little notebooks I found at Target and a variety of pens. I love pens. No seriously, you should see my pen + sharpie box.  2. My phone. I am a HUGE picture taker. I love taking pictures and using all the fun picture apps and posting pictures. If you love taking pictures come find me, we can have some instagram fun!!!  Two things I'm looking forward to: 1. Hugs & coffee with friends. Friends I've never technically met. Friends that I will never forget, that will be hard to leave, that just get me. 2. Learning. Learning more about who I am. About the amazing way God created me as a woman. Learning from all these wise women that live with realness and grace. Being filled with His word. See you in 2-ish weeks!!!

We are not part of his story and he is not part of ours

"Write drunk; edit sober" -Ernest Hemingway I've never actually attempted this, but tonight I am. I've had my wine and if you know me at all it doesn't take much to get my lightheaded & giggly. I'm truly not a Windau (my maiden name) when it comes to my alcohol consumption. I put my catholic roots to shame. I'm ok with that. I'm not a mean drunk, but a purely giggly & say inappropriate thing drunk. Today stung. It stung hard. Last Tuesday we got a call for a little 5 month old baby. Technically we got a call for 4 boys but for reasons that I will not share, we could only say yes to little guy. And then there was waiting. And more waiting because our agency couldn't find a home for 4 of the little guys, they came from a sibling group of 6. All 6. Boys. That would be headed for permanent custody. In my mind all the things lined up. I had prayed for an orphan. I had been learning about how to bond with a baby in the adoption sens...
