"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...

ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite link up tooooooo. Obvi. I love you encouraging all us mamas out here. We need to hear thy we are here, in this place, put here by God, for a reason. Glad you linked up!
ReplyDeleteI think I already told you that I think you are great!!! I loved that you shared Scripture as a source of encouragement. I want that to be a genuine place of encouragement for me too. Growing up Catholic - I feel like I read the Bible, but didn't take it personally. God has been teaching me so much along the way... man oh man and now I want to go find some encouragement in the Bible. THANK YOU, KATIE!
ReplyDeleteGrowing up I started in the catholic church so I so know what you mean
DeleteI love how you share about She Reads Truth. I think it's so much more valuable to go to the blog itself so that you can really interact with one another. :-)
ReplyDeleteHey Shannon! I love She Reads Truth too! And I love that you can interact directly with other women. I'm all for hugs too! I'm not a mommy yet so telling me I'm doing an amazing job mothering might not work (haha)!Glad you linked up
ReplyDeleteI JUST found out that you can use the She Reads Truth site to see who wrote that day's post. SO great. I love hearing your heart - you sound like such an encourager, Katie. xo.
ReplyDeleteenjoyed listening to your vlog. i loved what you had to say at the end to mothers. especially in my generation, there aren't many women out there who want to be full-time mothers. Lord willing, after i am married and have a family, being a mother is what i want to do. thank you for the encouraging words and for thinking that motherhood is important. <3 thanks for stopping by my blog.
