I've been published! Well, as much as blogging is publishing...so I guess I could celebrate this way every time I manage ten minutes to collect my thoughts into this blog...but wait, there's one more element. I was accepted into a collection of women writers--that's the difference! If you'd like to check it out, here's the link:

I am totally jazzed, and really humbled.


I am exhausted. I have so much on my heart and mind..it's like a game they are playing... one daring the other to take on a little more...and both peeking from behind their own shelters to see which one ruptures first. Nasty!

I know God is stretching me, I just wish it was a little slower, a little less pressured. Here's what's looking me in the eye:

Adoption. Should we? Should we in one week? Seems like a lot to expect myself to handle in one week...although the kids wouldn't come until the end of the summer probably. YIKES! What would that look like???!!! Both exciting and terrifying (just like God likes it, I am convinced)!!

Pray for us, we need it so desperately. I am really confused and scared. Down deep I am excited at the thought...but it is WAY down deep as we haven't even established a relationship with these children, and truly have to make a decision asap. Pray for the other family that is praying about adopting these kids as well...maybe they would be a better fit? Pray most of all that I truly start to know in my heart and mind that God knows better than I do...and in the end, if we do it, I KNOW that I will look back on this and say, "How could we ever have lived without them?"

In Love,

Kelly
