Influence Conference (part 1)



I was excited. Nervous. Ready. So not ready.

I arrived at the parking garage a little after 1:00 on Friday afternoon. I finally found a free spot in the parking garage and then I got my luggage out and headed on my walk to the hotel. If you don't know me I am terrible with directions. TERRIBLE I tell ya. Which means I got lost on the way to the hotel twice. On the way to the hotel I saw a beautiful sight, Melody Joy & Phoebe, I was all determined to go right up to her and talk. And then I froze. Yep. Like I literally couldn't talk and stopped walking. It hit me. This is real life. These are women I know, but don't know. I felt so silly. I got to the hotel, when I finally found it, and checked in. I got my room cards and saw Amy {which by the way her blog is sweet home sb not sweethomes b ;)} and froze again. I knew I just needed to get to the room. I was sweating from walking around lost in Indy & being so overwhelmed. I chugged water and sat. 



I then text...texted...umm, you get the idea Kara Kae to see if she needed any help. And then I layed on the bed and cried. I wanted to go home. 

Then the beautiful ding from my iphone that I recieved a text message. It was from Kara Kae that she could use my help.
HALLELUJAH!!!
I needed to keep my mind busy.

And then she hugged me. That's it. She hugged me and all the tension and fear I was feeling was fell off so quickly.

(Part 1 of how many I feel led to write...more to come)
And don't worry, it's gets really GOOD, because He is GOOD.

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...
