Just trying to make it through the day. Crazy Busy by Kevin DeYoung. For my own sake, the following are quotes from the book:. We wake up most days not trying to serve, but trying to survive. pg 21. John Piper made the statement, ‘we should care about all suffering…’ …He didn’t want to say we should. Something about all suffering, because we can’t do something about everything. But we can care. We won’t all care about every issue in the same way, but there are some issues we should all care about. The qu...

Mrs. Doulamom: On my heart...sex trafficking
http://mrsdoulamom.blogspot.com/2013/11/on-my-heartsex-trafficking.html
Striving to live authentically while pursuing holiness. Monday, November 11, 2013. On my heart.sex trafficking. It's been quite awhile since I've blogged, and every time I get on, I remember why. Blogger is not working well for me, and if I sit for any length of time to think, I have trouble getting it to start again. That's not so easy. But today I have something to say. I've had something for awhile, but I haven't been able to get it right. But I'm going to try now. If you know someone- help them!

Mrs. Doulamom: March 2013
http://mrsdoulamom.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Striving to live authentically while pursuing holiness. Tuesday, March 19, 2013. So a couple of weeks ago, I posted about the journey. Of life. Things have kind of been on hold here for a little bit while I've been processing this next step in our journey as a family. You may also remember if you read my new year's blog. That I listed a lot of things that I had "learned" during 2012. Don't ever do that. Especially with something that you really don't have control over! Well, God is saying, "Oh no, honey!

Mrs. Doulamom: Forever Changed
http://mrsdoulamom.blogspot.com/2013/12/changed-forever.html
Striving to live authentically while pursuing holiness. Monday, December 16, 2013. Tonight is the "eve of my life being forever changed." I am expecting that tomorrow will be one of the most amazing and one of the most anxious days of my life. Tomorrow we meet a little girl that we have been praying for, planning for, and thinking about for months! I hope she'll be okay with who she gets! I can't wait to be able to share our adventures and memories that we'll make while she's here. All of you who hav...

Mrs. Doulamom: February 2014
http://mrsdoulamom.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Striving to live authentically while pursuing holiness. Monday, February 10, 2014. This past week life has played havoc with my heart. We found out last week that the other little girl will be 16 next month. It's at that age that the kids "age out" of adoption. They aren't able to be adopted anymore. Our hearts sank at the news, but we felt like we should go ahead and pursue it even though we had never met her and she had never met us! It was full of questions and anxious thoughts. In the end, there ...

Mrs. Doulamom: A different stage of life
http://mrsdoulamom.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-different-stage-of-life.html
Striving to live authentically while pursuing holiness. Monday, June 22, 2015. A different stage of life. It looks like it's been over a year since I've blogged. So much has happened, and I probably can't even remember half of it! But the biggest change, of course, is that my first arrow has graduated from high school and is now on the Appalachian Trail for 5-6 months. He's given me permission to start a blog about his travels so if anyone is interested, I'll post it soon. Would he be happier? Not in a b...

Mrs. Doulamom: April 2013
http://mrsdoulamom.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Striving to live authentically while pursuing holiness. Wednesday, April 24, 2013. Miscarriage and the hurts of life. No one was more surprised than me. No one. As I watched that little blue line appear and get darker and darker, a feeling of complete disbelief washed over me. My heart beat faster, my breathing increased, and tears sprang to my eyes. My entire body was frozen and time stood still. How could this happen? But in that moment in time I did wonder *how could this happen to us? Yes, this was a...
