Today


Today I have a heavy heart.
For Newtown.
For the parents.
And the grandparents.
The siblings.
Aunts, Uncles, cousins, babysitters, friends.
Today my heart is heavy.

Today I have a heavy heart.
For our military.
For their spouses. And their children.
For those that are apart this season.

Today I have a heavy heart.
For my daughter.
For her fears.
The fact that I can pray for her. And pray and pray and pray.

Today I have a heavy heart.
For those dealing with inner demons.
For the fear of talking to someone.
The thoughts that consume their minds.

Today I have a very heavy heart for the shooter's family.
I didn't really think about it till this morning.
I have a heavy heart for them.
I can only imagine how they are processing this.

Today, again, I have a heavy heart.
Eventually it will fade away.
But their memory, those "sweet little babies" {in my husband's words}
they will never fade from their parents hearts.
Today even in the heaviness, the confusion
just pray for these parents.
As the funerals start.
As they start to figure things out.

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!!!

Winter

Winter. It's cold. And in Ohio, so dreary. Lacking of the sun. Or the ability to play outside and feel the warmth on your skin. Days stuck inside. And it all starts to weigh heavy. My spirit goes down the drain. The heaviness on my shoulders & in my heart seems to be slowly crushing me. But I won't stop the struggle. I won't give up & let it eat me alive. The panic attacks that leave me breathless. The numbness. And then the crying. It will all pass. It always passes. But in the middle when the struggle is real I'm thankful for people who speak life into me, God's closeness, being able to receive that warm blanket of His word, hot coffee & making out with my husband, hey, let's get real, making out helps.
