Momma Joy in the making



Joy in the big things
And the little things
The happy things
And the hurtful things
Joy in the wee hours of the night putting a toddler back to bed
And in the late afternoon when I'm running on fumes
Joy when I feel like parenting is too big of a burden
And when it fits like a glove
Joy when my marriage is rocky
And when we're grossly in puppy dog love
Joy in the morning 
And at kids bedtime {because what parent can't find joy then?!}
Joy in the desert
And joy in the sunshine

Joy because He made me.
Joy because He made them.
Joy because in all things, even when it all doesn't make sense, He is here, all around. Present. 
I may never be an intentional woman, I am a pretty scatterbrained one, He is intentional. Always. Never failing.

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...
