"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...
Love it! First you don't have to apologize for not homeschooling, it's NOT for everyone. Also, amen to all your struggles. Even within the real authentic Christian blogging community it's hard to not say I don't measure up to her or I need to be doing this because so and so is doing. Real like struggles.
ReplyDeleteHey girl! Wow that is so awesome that you are going to be foster parents.. how exciting! Glad you found shereadstruth.. such an awesome community.
ReplyDeletei have definitely had to go through my twitter feed and stop following people who primarily speak negativity. i feel like life is hard enough without hearing and seeing people reinforce lies i already have trouble fighting, and how better to fight them than to surround myself, even online, with people who instead speak truth and light?
