Follow God. Love people. Bob Dylan's 49th Beard. Ever want to break up with yourself? With your "lot in life"? With how emo you are? GET IT TOGETHER, MICHELLE, says the mean me on my shoulder. Above is the title of the best breakup song probably ever. I wish I could grow a beard, bc things are weird between me and myself right now. Links to this post. Do you remember a time when you couldn't pinpoint a feeling you were having until someone else named it? I have lost hope. Whew, that is a bitter sentence ...

Doing it wrong – Deeper Story
http://deeperstory.com/doing-it-wrong
What is A Deeper Story? All posts by Jamie. Last weekend, a baby started crying in church, like, right in the middle of the sermon. After about 4 seconds, I turned back to peer over my shoulder, so the baby’s Mom would know that I could hear her baby crying. I gave her a look that said, Um. Your baby is kind of a jerk. Finally, she got up and left, and the sermon continued in pin drop silence. Thank goodness. I was able to really. They would actually make us leave our seats and mingle with coffee and lit...

Follow God. Love people. In the thick of it. It was a sobering thought I thought last night, but a true one:. If parenting was a marriage, I would be divorced already. This root goes so deep into my life that I don't think it will come up with one firm tug. But I don't want dreading every tomorrow to be what I look back and remember from this season. Instead, I'm trying to memorize Psalm 134. Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord who minister by night in the house of the Lord. 2) ministering to t...

Follow God. Love people. Sorry I've been M.I.A. here. I've been a little MIA everywhere. It has been a busy Winter (I first called it Spring but it's still February, and I need to be fair to the seasons). I have no adoption news, and probably won't have anything good on that front for some time. Our resolve has not lessened in any way; we just don't have any "moves" to make. So we wait, and God works on me while we do. I'm 15 weeks along now. This pregnancy has been weird. Are eating my lunch. The Hamilt...

Follow God. Love people. About a week ago I posted a Facebook update asking for prayer about making a decision concerning our adoption. We were seriously considering adopting embryos. Was there a record scratch or a say whaaa. In your brain just now? The idea of giving birth to your adopted child is beautiful, and giving life to these lil snowflakes is sweet and precious. And I really wanted another baby. So we were seriously considering it. A great reason to bring a child into our family. Well this is p...

http://www.mrsmuenich.net/2015/08/tuesday-timecard.html
Follow God. Love people. Filling out as I go! I say that because I've been doing a monthly timecard for my job for four years and I basically always do it all in one go. Usually late. Someday I'll #adult regularly.]. So, this week, we:. Called our city again. To try and get our 5k approval. Finished our homestudy update documents and mailed it in! Talked to some people about the Chosen Marathon. Started talking about a t-shirt fundraiser design. Got Judah's birth certificates back in the mail. Dress Well...

Follow God. Love people. I have been so dang serious all the time on this blog for a lot of months ugh. In Real Life, I'm not a super serious person (in fact, a considerable percentage of my speech is made of cartoon references, which was also true before I had kids). So, I decided to do a week of my favorite recipes! If you want to try out some new recipes, follow along! Some will be quick, some will be simple, and some will not even have cumin! Links to this post. Big Adoption Update (part 3). We are g...

Follow God. Love people. I realized I neglected to mention in my last fundraising post the expenses we've already incurred. I'll itemize it out when the thought of it doesn't make me feel so tired. Just know it's $10,000. Today I want to focus on one really fun way we're fundraising: The Chosen Marathon! This year's race is November 21st in New Braunfels, TX. The race is a Boston qualifier and USATF certified. Get a muscle cramp. Have to stop to pee. Run flawlessly the whole race. Links to this post.

Follow God. Love people. Romans 5 and Suffering. I reiterate those thing because I can understand why it would seem super emo/dramatic to talk about my suffering. Ugh, I even want to put it in quotes, but I'm not going to. I have suffered through this process. There has been an abundance of pain, loss, confusion, and the peculiar pain of waiting, just waiting and waiting with no assurance of its stopping. That our daughter will be home with us. That we will be knitting ourselves together as a family.

Follow God. Love people. Y'all, I know what you're thinking: just another cookie recipe. But these are the BEST gingerbread cookies evvvaaaaah. I would eat them for dinner if I didn't have a child to feed and a husband who wouldn't really appreciate eating cookies as a meal. #ughgrownups. I'm your worst nightmare, Gingy. 3 1/2 C flour. 1 teaspoon baking soda. 9 Tablespoons melted butter (that's 1 stick and 1 T). 2/3 C brown sugar. Links to this post. We eat the heck out of some tacos in this family. ...
