My word

People have been talking about their word for 2013 since before the first.
Not going to lie I felt left out. 
Why don't I have a word. I want a word too!
I knew within the deep of my "knower" that last year was GRACE. 
Without a doubt.
Grace upon grace upon grace.
I learned. I struggled. I cried. I was confused. I was hurt. I was loved and restored.
I kept wondering if I would receive a word.
The first of January came and nothing.
But you know something funny about God.
He doesn't work on our time. 
He works in HIS perfect time. 
He knew exactly when I needed to receive my word.

So I'm guessing you may be curious as to what it is.
Yes I fully trust and believe I will continue to learn more about grace 
but for 2013 my word is


So what about you?
Did YOU receive a word?
I'd LOVE to hear about it!!!!

    Absolutely grateful for your link up!! Awesome to see a link, but I'm floored by the scripture written under your word.. i literally JUST penned that verse into my journal as a booster for my word, Grace. He is so good at tying His princesses together :)

    I wish you all of the hope and faith you can contain this year. Yes, it's all in His time and that is the most fun and exciting part of waiting on Him. Hoping with anticipation; loving with that faith. You rock girl!! xoxo

Influence Link Up

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...
