Prayers for Paislyn

As a mother of three it is so easy to get caught up
 in my own little world.
My itty bitty frustrations.
Like a toddler who won't stop taking the 
spices out of the lazy Susan.
Or the six year old twins who insist on making 
everything a competition.
The laundry strung all over the house.
The mulch sitting by the back door instead of outside.
The hand or nose prints all over the sliding door.
The never ending dishes because we know I don't actually mind the laundry
{it's my favorite!}

But there are certain mothers.
Mothers that put my little complaining to shame.
Mothers who literally have to fight for the lives of their babies.

And those are the mothers who challenge me to be less whiney and more thankful.

One of those mothers is Aubrey.
Her little princess was born with a form of a heart disease called Hypo Plastic Right Heart.


Today this precious little girl is having an Echo, EKG and chest xray, Thursday a heart cath and next Thursday May 9th she will have her last open heart surgery. 

I am asking for prayers for the precious girl and her faithful momma.

Here are links for more information

For where two or three come in my name, there I am with them

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...
