"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...
1. You run. There for your a runner. And if we lived closer I would run with you. 2. You're so sweet to say hi to Addi. I can't wait to show her after nap time.
ReplyDeleteIf we were having coffee I would tell you I can't have coffee because my stomach is so upset. All day long. It's not fun. And it's crazy around our house with cousins and kids. So I need some serious prayers for rest. And that I can get my long run in tomorrow.
I'm so excited about your foster care almost being done. Evan and I have been having lots of conversations lately about if we're done having kids and only adopting or if we'll try to have one more. Exciting times!
I've talked to several people in that should we have more or go deeper with adoption, it's a huge step, but just keep focused on God and He will direct you!!
DeleteI hope you're feeling better!
"I have to trust God in all of this... because sometimes I just want to do it." SO much truth in that. Love your honest heart. I can totally relate. It can be so HARD - but so rewarding to let go and let God. You are inspiring!!! God is going to bless your family so much for taking care of His "little ones" that need a home. XO
