April Inspiration

Every month I've been posting things that inspire me. Usually pictures of color & my kids & bible verses. Today I'm feeling lots of feels but I can't say what is inspiring me. I'm living right now in constant motion. Looking at my planner & calendar sometimes frightens me. Appointments, classes, deadlines visits, soccer & birthdays. To post photos that are currently inspire me just is beyond me right now. Instead I'll jump on the bandwagon and post a few goals.

1. Finally pick a paint color, guys, it's serious. Next month will be 2 years since we've been in this house. My main floor walls need some lovin
2. Keep dreaming with teen girl & help her get a plan going with where she wants to go
3. Love deeper & harder. Let Jesus in more. Lately I've let all the things that need done and the places to go rule the thoughts. My dishwasher recently broke (again) and I have found such beauty in the time where I can't escape time with Him. So a goal, is more intentional time praying throughout the day.
4. To not lose my sanity while my husband is in Saudi Arabia later this month. He'll be gone for a week & I'll be alone with 5 kids, feel free to pray for me ;) But seriously, please do!

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...
