Day 11 {The internet + Motherhood}

Internet + Motherhood can turn us into scary creatures. The feelings of inadequacy when we compare our parties to the "pinterest parties", when we compare our clothing to a fashion blogger or our home to someone who make way more than we make. The internet can become a place of mental torture. I know I've done it bad, especially with bloggers. 

How I'm not christian enough, or well spoken enough, how my closet is severely lacking what I "should" be wearing, my home isn't as put together, my blah blah blah...not enough....more blah blah blah.

And then enters a website you need to check out
Why? Because it's real moms, real messes, real love, real grace. It's just REAL. If you subscribe to the newsletter, you will receive one every week in your email. This newsletter is not one telling you what you're not going "good enough" & how you should do better -- no it's not that. What is it --- a newsletter than sends me to tears, because it speaks right to your heart. You will say yes, I get that. You will be refreshed and encouraged. If you request prayer - you will receive prayer from the prayer team. 


If you are a momma go -- be not subject to if you are 'good enough' {which you totally are!!} but be filled with grace, encouraged & prayed for.

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...
