reasons

     As many of you know, many things have changed for me in the last year.  I find myself needing space and time to process life as it now is- not as I wanted it to be, not as I planned and dreamed for, but as it is with it's blessings as well as it's struggles.  The journey I am now on seems to be one of re-writing my identity, re-developing my core self. or maybe just getting back to who I should be.
     I am no longer working- something I'd always loved and drawn identity from.  I have always had aspirations that just don't seem to fit with what God is doing in my life anymore.  My migraines had caused me to face limitations I did not want to admit- and yet I have found learning those limitations invaluable.
     So in this blog, you will find me processing life- a life which as of almost 6 weeks ago involves 2 more children, lots more laundry, a lot of screaming and an amazing desire to bake.  You'll read of adoptive mom quandries, scriptural puzzles, attempted methods of sanity, and if I ever figured out what to do with those chestnuts in the front yard.  And the more I write- the more you'll know that Charlie is being superdad, so I can get away a bit.
