this present darkness

Displaying IMG_0242.JPG

It's running on a road.
With it all around.
Depression, worry, doubt, fear
guilt, shame, confusion, the calendar
comparisons, food issues....
It's locking on my feet, at my side, piercing my heart.

And then I reach a hand out and grab 
a scripture, read a christian book, listen to sermon.
Just enough to keep pushing on.

I'm barely moving my feet,
sometimes it's like spinning,
the darkness makes me loose sight of the path. 

I end up in fetal position crying over a child's messy room.
Feeling scared sitting at the park because other women are there but not Cassie.

So I grab some, I reach hard.

And I keep moving the feet. Keep pushing.

This is non sense.

There are two scriptures that God keeps feeding into my heart.

Bring light to the darkness
&
It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, 
the Counselor 
will not come to you; but if I go,  I will send him to you. John 16:7

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...
