Where all of me is held | Trusting the Wind
https://trustingthewind.org/2016/07/27/where-all-of-me-is-held
Will you trust the Wind? Good night sweet friends →. Where all of me is held. I spent 8 years praying for my daughter. Eight. That is a lot of years. That’s almost 3000 days of prayers for one thing…for her. And miscarried, and then had to miscarry again. Months before my mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer and my marriage was not in a bright spot. I was sad and tired and angry and like a little child I turned to God and said, no I’m sorry, I yelled, “YOU SAID YOU WOULD GIVE ME A DAUGHTER! I entered i...

The Reality of Motherhood | Trusting the Wind
https://trustingthewind.org/2015/02/23/the-reality-of-motherhood
Will you trust the Wind? The Reality of Marriage. The Reality of Motherhood. A quick note: This is MY reality, and I would never guess, speculate or consider myself able to speak for what all mother’s experience. It is Sunday night, well really Monday morning, 1am and I am up. I am awake for two reasons, one; I am pregnant and pee every 4 seconds, and two; I have caught the same or similar virus that my 17 month old daughter has and I can no longer breathe out of my nose making it impossible to sleep.

Labor and Delivery…Life and Death | Trusting the Wind
https://trustingthewind.org/2016/03/08/labor-and-delivery-life-and-death
Will you trust the Wind? Some rooms are full and some are empty →. Labor and Delivery…Life and Death. I have died many times so far in my life. I die to myself everyday. I dig up my old dead self and try to make it presentable, but no matter how you dress it up, it, me, my old self is dead. Dying is a part of living. I labored for a week before I walked into the hospital. My labor was violent prayer, then it was weeping and yelling and crying out. My labor was asking you to labor with me! And so did you.

Will you trust the Wind? Labor and Delivery…Life and Death. Weight lifting →. Some rooms are full and some are empty. The adrenaline of battle is receding from my muscles. The glory and might of my war cry for the deliverance of Birdie’s life and my own deaths has simmered to a soft whimper. My once bright light feels like a dim flickering flame. But I have evolved, I have learned and I have matured. I have been transformed from glory to glory and will continue still. So here it is…. I am so sad. One bab...

My greater Yes | Trusting the Wind
https://trustingthewind.org/2015/01/23/my-greater-yes
Will you trust the Wind? Be brave →. There is always a greater “yes” when it comes to my choice in obedience. There have been moments and times where obeying has been easy….most of the time it has not. But what I have come to know in my relationship with God is that when He is asking me to lay something down, there is ALWAYS something better waiting for me. When I was younger there was a greater yes when I decided to give my son up for adoption, the greater yes was his quality of life. My deepest desire ...

Rock | Trusting the Wind
https://trustingthewind.org/2016/02/24/rock
Will you trust the Wind? Labor and Delivery…Life and Death →. I’ve gotten weirder. In a group of people I feel like I’m on the outside looking in….no one is making me feel this way, I just do. All of this and more. But all held within the mercy of the reprieve given to me by God. The waves of grief swell and I can see a new set of waves coming in. I brace myself against the Rock, I bury my head in His chest as He holds me up so I do not drown. No one escapes the storm. But not everyone survives. And I kn...

Be brave | Trusting the Wind
https://trustingthewind.org/2015/01/25/be-brave
Will you trust the Wind? I am 35 going on 13 →. Brave women are my heroes. They inspire me and spur me on to become more of who I was created to be. There are many brave women in this world and twice as many who are on the cusp of bravery. It takes large amounts of bravery and courage to flow in this river. But it’s easier when the river is full of other brave women standing together and with every act of kindness and lifting up of another human being the links in the chain grow stronger. They speak LIFE...

Will you trust the Wind? The Reality of Motherhood. Graduate school →. I haven’t written a blog in almost a year. I have missed it, missed you, those of you who visit this space and read my words. I have missed having a voice, one that sings a different kind of song than my normal everyday life. I was looking back when I started this blog and I read a post about my miscarriage, I cried. And then I cried again. Do you ever miss your old self? My old self could have never been that person, I know that with...

Will you trust the Wind? I am 35 going on 13. The Reality of Motherhood →. The Reality of Marriage. I write this blog with the filter of my own marriage of almost 13 years, the stories of my friends and the myths I have heard along the way from my once single and still single friends. Was I No longer interesting or attractive? Did we No longer have things to talk about? The Enemy had a field day with this crap. I was battling constantly for my heart, my mind and our marriage. We have since overcome that ...
