Marriage {The post I didn't want to write}

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy

John 10:10a

Marriage is difficult.

Marriage is beautiful.

Sometimes you wonder how you ended up together.

You wonder how you lived without him for so long.

Some days it's as simple and breathing.

Other days it's like chewing, swallowing and digesting nails.

Marriage is sacred. Yet thrown away so easily.

It's challenged, stretched and impossible.

I didn't want to write this post.

I didn't want to.

But the words kept coming to mind.

Over. And over. And over.

The past few months I've seen this beautiful, challenging thing we call marriage to be killed and destroyed.

To be torn apart while children are left carrying the baggage.

I've been there.

I wanted to leave.

I was dying to leave.

I couldn't breathe.

I couldn't look at him.

Thankfully God and my husband wasn't letting go.

God can repair.

God can heal.

God can make our mess into a beautiful, real message.

He can take those broken pieces and make a beautiful masterpiece.

Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate.

Matthew 19:6

I know it's tough.

I know it's easy to justify your choices because of their actions.

I'm asking YOU, yes YOU

pray for your marriage like never before.

Pray for their marriage.

And their marriage.

This love is

Special. Sacred. Difficult. Lovely. Amazing. Impossible. Crazy.

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...
