(i wrote this january 2014. this was a few weeks before the sinus infection and the darkness i talked about in my post about being known. life was so chaotic, but i am so glad i wrote this down, because it shows me the beauty in my life at that time.)
sometimes i feel like i live in a reality show. i never imagined myself taking care of 3 kids by myself each week. but we are here. my husband's job expects him to spend monday through friday 4 hours away from home.
yes, we are here with baby needing 2 naps, walking and into everything, the cutest thing ever really - getting hurt and never keeping her socks on - loving feeding herself and watching brother and sister. sister is growing up so fast and about to turn 3 next wednesday. occasionally i stop long enough and notice how very smart she is. and the boy in kindergarten and if the baby wakes up before 7:30 we're all heading down the street in the van because it's 32 degrees or below outside and i gotta get the boy on the bus.
and the kids are young. really, there's just one kid. then a toddler and a baby. they are beautiful and smart - they are my full-time job. they need a lot of help. and i am only one person. monday thru friday.
growing up in a Christian environment i often heard phil. 4:13. i can do anything through Christ who gives me strength...
i've only recently realized the other part of that coin. "apart from me you can do nothing" john 15:5.

thoughts in March
(stream of consciousness notes i took in March. so it may not make complete sense. but, important to me.)
Wake up.
Why do you want to adopt???
13,500 kids in the state of ga in foster care.
Be grateful. practice it.
"the enemy wants us to be judgemental, because then we will not help" a quote i heard when learning about sex trafficking. i think it applies to other things as well.
happiness is important to God, too.
the equipping comes after the obedience happens
i feel like i am walking into a storm
God is the peace in the storm
Jesus walked on the water in the midst of a storm
Jesus is in the storm
you can still sing to God even if you're not in the choir. He's listening.
