Failure.

It was another one of those days.
Lack of sleep last night
Led to unrealistic expectations on myself today.
And that attitude --- I can do all the things, and I will, even if I drive myself into emotional turmoil.
Why? 
I have no idea.
And then when I can't do it all.
I feel like a failure.
Not just like oh I sucked at life today.
But like I must be the worst wife, mom, auntie, human being alive.

But you know what's awesome.
People.
Yes, there are people who are just awesome.
And those people that led me back to the truth.
Like HERE!!!!
And encouraging texts from my sister in law.
And the Almond Hershey bar my husband got for me because he knew exactly the craziness stirring in this head.

I fail.
It's never going to change.
But He loves me with a graceful love.
And they {my husband, my children, my sisters and brothers in law, my brothers, my parents, my friends...} love me. Even though my house will NEVER be spotless. Or that there will be days when my kids are no joke dirty. Even when I get so stuck in my head I can't seem to conjure up normal conversation. Or when the sink is piled high with dishes {oh can't it be Friday already so my dishwasher can be fixed}. Or when....

He. They.
LOVE ME.

I can fail.
I will always.
But His grace is enough.
Even when they don't love me.
His grace will always be sufficient in my weakness.

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...
