Hello all! I have been in a season of foggy brain and feeling overwhelmed. The Lord is not through with me yet. Here are a few pictures of some highlights and I hope to be more on my feet and back to blogging again soon. When one is fighting depression, it is hard to blog. What would I say? 🙂 Obviously, life is full and lively here and it’s not all doom and gloom. And there’s so much I could write. But it’s not coming easily, so I’m going to turn around and fold my laundry instead.
Here’s a beautiful song that encourages me to believe God loves me, I’m not a failure and to keep trying and keep hoping:
Taking advantage of sun when we can…
This will be harder now that Jordan is out of school.
Such big girls now!
Carolyn is getting close to two years old!
Cutie patootie….. hmmm
She smeared GOBS of Vaseline in her hair. I could not get it out. Finally, I rubbed corn starch into her vaseline slick and it soaked it up. She left corn starch smears all over the house, but it was better than straight petroleum jelly smears. Oh dear… some days.
A creative snack time.
Happy to be playing with toothpicks.
Carolyn just got raisins.
Strawberry picking!
My Dad!!!! And little Noralie.
I am sure you do feel overwhelmed and over tired with 4 little ones. But do try to take some time for yourself!! Those dirty dishes can wait!!!
This to shell pass!!!
Dear Rachel, I am also an adoptive mom who battles depression after bringing home 2 older special needs daughters. Don’t know if you’ve ever read Diane’s blog at http://mylifeingodsgarden.com/ but she is a wonderful writer with many good insights into the tremendous struggles adoption can bring. If you’ve never read her blog please treat yourself and read it soon. She is doing a brave and honest series on this subject. Her transparency is a gift from God for me. I am praying for you, and please pray for me too.
