A few little life lessons along the way

---Go pee every chance you get. For me I pee, a lot, more than the average pregnant woman. It's bad. But I've learned that I can take the opportunity to pee or suffer later.

---I need time with Jesus. My flesh has a major attitude and is very selfish. It leaks out all over the place when I'm not with Him.

---People hurt. They just do. People who love Jesus. People who hate Jesus. People who have no opinion on Jesus. People hurt. I have to remind myself to be gentle to others and myself.

---Budgeting is important. Sometimes it's hard being an adult. Budgeting takes time & effort. But is so necessary.

---Dealing with depression is a thing for me. But now I know it's often an attack on my soul & talking to others is helpful.

---Being married isn't about making me happy. It's about us becoming holy. It's about us raising little warriors together.

---Church isn't necessary on your walk. It's not. But I can't imagine doing life without being there, with pastors who love Jesus fiercely, surrounded by others on their own walks with Jesus.

---Doing this mom gig is best when you have friends who can lift you up. It's ok to share your weaknesses in motherhood. And when others share their weaknesses, lift & encourage!

---Family relationships are tough. When you're a child they seem like the easiest, as an adult they get messy, but God loves families & redeems brokenness.

---Love Jesus. Love others. Work hard.

---Find something or somethings that are just yours. The things you are working on, that give you joy

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...
