The Patient One

This is him.



He's ridiculous. My 8th child.
I mean, he is straight up the most AWESOME thing I have EVER laid eyes on...
And he's mine.
Yup.
Alllllllll mine.

NOT TO MENTION:
He puts up with me and ALLLLLLL that entails...
And he's really good at loving me.
Just the way I like to be loved...
Because he listens to me.
He cares what I think.
He believes in me.

He tells me the truth even when I don't like it.
He leads me and provides for me.
He goes hard after God's heart and I am happy to follow him there.
He pushes me to be great when I don't want to be pushed.

He wrestles with me...And lets me win.
He plays with our kiddos...
And sometimes, scratch that, ALL the time..
He's the reason I cant get everyone to bed on time, hahaha

He tells me I'm sexy...And I believe him...

And he understands that sometimes...?
A girl just needs an estrogen fest.

I. Love. This. Man.

Impossible vs. Possible...A Life Lesson from Kittens.

This is Süßi (pronounced "Zues-ēē) and her sleeping sister, Schatzi. They are our new kittens who will live OUTSIDE once they are big enough to fend for themselves against hawks and such. They have no tails and are...OMGSH!!!! SO FRIKKIN CUTE!!!!  Being litter mates and tail-less are the only things these two have in common, lol. Süßi is super sweet and a little shy and Schatzi is super sweet, sassy, and completely fearless.  This is Po...  Him's my fweet-punkin-smooshie-face-baby....not a mean bone in his fluffy body until... The twins arrived.  I have never heard him hiss or growl in his whole 18-month-old-life until the two little, no-tailed, kittens joined our family.  From the first moment he investigated their tiny, tail-less bodies, he decided, "Thanks, but no thanks" and proceeded to let them know that he was in NO WAY interested in their kitten shenanigans.   Süßi was easy to convince, being the shy and timid one...and she avoide...

Ok. Flag on the Play.

Can I just be real with y'all for a bit?  Really?  Ok, thanks. I've wanted to talk about this for a long time, now, but I needed to make sure my heart was healed before I tackled trying to verbalize what happened to me and what it did to me....Because bleeding hearts can be dangerous weapons. I thank Papa God for the community of believers He led our family to after all had happened, for it was there that He told me that my heart was broken and that I had had my identity stripped from me and that I needed to be reminded of who I was.  Facing my pain and insecurities that came as a result of mistaken identity, false accusations, and underlying agendas was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, outside of facing sexual abuse from my childhood. Realizing and understanding fully that you have been manipulated for one's own purposes by people you love and trust is devastating...IF you aren't surrounded by those who love you for who you are (not what yo...

The Book Thing

About 8 months ago, a dear friend prophesied over me that I would write 3 books and not to get distracted by the illustrations. I thought, "Ok. I've got 2 already in the works...but....I really....don't need illustrations..." And then she said, "And there are children's books too." Wait. I know I didn't hear that. I'm not a children's author. She must've heard wrong. The books I write are novels and blog-style...definitely not children's books and I CERTAINLY don't feel a pull in that direction....At all. But I know this woman....I know she hears from Papa.... So I chalked it up and put it, wrapped ever-so-neatly, onto the shelf in the back of my mind for another season. Then, in December, I was sitting in the recliner at our former house and one of the littles came through and said, "Mama can you tie my shoes? I been tryin' and tryin' and it's just too hard!" He was quite upset...
