So Inspired

Tonight I went to a fundraiser for a local crisis pregnancy center.  I was invited because one of my previous foster parents was a speaker who spoke about the adoption of her son.  Trust me it all tied together.  I laughed and I cried and was so inspired.  I left the civic center with such a warm fuzzy feeling.  It honestly has been a while since I have felt like that.  The whole thing was about how God guides us to be in situations and places because he knows there is something bigger.  My foster parents had been trying for over eight years to have a baby and then because of one five minute meeting their lives were changed for ever.  There are so many times in my life that I can now see why I was lead to be somewhere or to do something that changed my life for the better.  Of course not every five minute meeting leads to parenthood.  We just need to trust God and trust ourselves.

Life is good and I have a three day weekend and a ton of homework.

Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher

The one you feed...

A few weeks ago Lee text me this story.  One evening, an elderly cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. he said "my son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. one is evil. it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. the other is good. it is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." the grandson though about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "which wolf wins?..." the old cherokee simply replied, "the one that you feed"  One I have heard 100 times but one that I needed at that moment although I didn't know it.  There have been several situations that have happened these past few weeks and I keep thinking of that story and I have to remind myself which wolf I am feeding. There
