Like A Stray Marble...

I'm having trouble staying on track with my thoughts.

I'm having trouble forming concurrent thoughts to create a blog worthy of your time (notice the abundance of pictures lately?). Why? I dunno.

What has been rolling around in my brain is....

* What are the challenges that we will face raising a child of another race?

* Why won't Baby Girl's mother just go ahead and relinquish? I mean, she hasn't seen her in WEEKS.

* I'm trying hard to focus on the word and soaking up some Son, but I come away from my quiet time discouraged. I'm not getting much out of it. I know this happens and that every time I go to scripture I can't be hit with a brick between the eyes, BUT I could use something of substance.

* Maybe God is teaching me patience since things seem to be dragging out with the babies, AND I'm getting little from my quiet time. Hummmm....I haven't asked for patience.

* I can't seem to form full thoughts or focus on any one thing for an extended period of time. I have a heavy heart for friends, ministries and friendships.

* I can't seem to get into the Christmas hype. Yes, I'm excited about celebrating the birth of my Savior, but I can't get excited about the presents, gatherings and such. Odd?

So, sorry if I'm not really blogging lately, but I can't think of anything that's really worth blogging.

  1. I'm in the same boat, although you know I laughed (not at you) about baby girl's mom not relinquishing after not seeing her in weeks... try 3 months on for size! I KNOW how you feel!!!!
    Today has been a cabin fever day for me. I'm at my wits' end, ready to go to work full time and send the kids away! It will pass, I know, but days like today are so hard. I feel like all I do is get irritated and threaten them to "knock it off!"
    BTW, we are available Wed. night, maybe Friday night, and Sunday night if you guys can come over.
    Let me know!

  3. Thank you for thinking of me. I am so grateful to know that I have REAL people PRAYING over and for my baby. It is a great comfort to me at this time.

  4. I've had some issues with scrambled-egg brains lately, too. Thanks for the kind words... I think we're pretty good-lookin' myself. AND we got picture with all of us looking in the same direction - BONUS!!!
    I miss you, too... haven't seen you in fifty forevers!!

  5. In His own time! I know, easier said than done (note to self: remember this next time you are agitated because you are not "hearing" His voice or because the answer is not on my time schedule):)

    I left you a comment on Laurel's blog, and again, thanks for your grace and kindness.
