I have not been a faithful blogger lately.
I have a lot of excuses.
I am really busy. With newly homeschooling our kiddos my time is extremely limited. I have to be much more intentional about what I do with each moment. It has taken some time to find a schedule that works for us. Like for instance, at first I admit I was wondering if I was ever going to find time to clean my shower again. (Not that I value cleaning my shower more than blogging. It is by far more fun to blog but there is something very soothing to my soul about taking a shower in a freshly cleansed area.) I have finally come to some sort of routine that seems to be working for us. And I even find there are a few moments where I have nothing planned that I could sit down and blog.
But then I think about what I will say. And this is where it gets tough. Do I say we are still on the waitlist? Do I say we still have 20 months until they say we could get a referral?
Do I just skip all the emotional turmoil swirling around in my head and tell you instead what the girls are being for Halloween? Not that I think its bad to blog about what your kids are dressing up as for Halloween. I will probably end up sharing that and sharing pictures because they are seriously so stinkin cute and they designed the costumes themselves.
But the truth is I long to share more but my heart aches and I am just not sure I can.
So here it is. This is me in the thick of it.
Some days and weeks go by and I barely think about it. (Well almost barely)
But there are other days and weeks when it hurts and it sucks and I just wish I knew when we were going to get to meet our son.
And in these moments I find myself leaning and flinging myself out on my God.
I read this the other day and it filled my heart with peace.
"When looking back on the lives of men and women of God the tendency is to say – What wonderfully astute wisdom they had! How perfectly they understood all God wanted! The astute mind behind is the Mind of God, not human wisdom at all. We give credit to human wisdom when we should give credit to the Divine guidance of God through childlike people who were foolish enough to trust God’s wisdom and the supernatural equipment of God."- Oswald Chambers (My utmost for His Highest)

If I am a fool I hope it is in the sense that I trust my God and His timing impliciltly.

I think you should tell the truth when you blog, if your heart hurts, then say it, our greatest treasures come because of our greatest trials. Trials make us seek Him.
I want you to know that you are constantly in my prayers! And your son too, I already love him. Seems nuts, but his little footprint has already made a place on my heart! And of course, your girls already do too!
So tell us what you need. Could you use a meal? a prayer?
Be honest, when you're in the thick of it, reach out, someone might have a machete :)
AND POST PICS OF THE GIRLS!!! :)
<3 loveyou
