Writers Block...

I have a major case of writers block, bloggy writers block! This blog started out as a way to share our pregnancy with friends and family. It has since grown into a passion of mine. It is an outlet, a place where I can share my faith, my mommy highs and lows, our great new adventure in the world of orphan care and adoption, a place where I can find a little bit of the community I sometimes lack in my physical reality that is life.

Today, I have nothing to write about or maybe I have too much and it's all getting clogged in my brain on the way to my fingertips leaving the result a big FAT NOTHING. I feel like spewing about the famine, I feel like ranting about my struggle between material things of this world and living a crazy in love with Jesus lifestyle, I feel like sharing my struggles about what i want out of this so called life, I feel like plastering this page with pictures of my kid but I also feel like crawling in a hole and giving it all up because is anyone really listening anyway?

So today I am not going to talk about any of those things and I am going to share some inspiration through some of my favorite blogs at the moment. I don't know many of the ladies too closely but they touch my heart and trigger light bulbs on multiple occasions throughout my week. So I want to share them.

Want to see cuteness overload on a daily basis? head on over she has got a housefull and two more beautiful boys waiting to join her family from Uganda. She has such a good heart, she is teaching me so much about what it means to be an advocate for the fatherless and how to love them hard even if you only know a name and a picture because they desperately need someone to love and pray for them. Thank you LOVE!!!
I just started following Kinze a month or so ago and I wish we lived closer so I could be her friend. She has super cute kids, a wonderful marriage, and a freakin Airstream that I am drooling over. She is moving and living for God and you can feel it coming through the screen as you read her words. She is beautiful and I cannot wait to keep following their journey.


I am so excited that I have stumbled upon the talent that is Michelle of  Little Blue Feather. She is just inspiring from the second you open her page. She is beautiful and young and talented. I love her little doggies and the inspired Boston clothing. She might also be working on something very special  :) 
Then there is Hannah of Happy Days. She inspires me to dive into God's word every week! This girl is master of scripture and how to apply it to your everyday. She is fantastic and I am so glad I stumbled upon her through a linky party. Did I mention she loves hip-hop! AHHH I die.

So go on check out these ladies, lurk away they are worth your time.

it is an odd thing when the season passes that was the original reason for your blog, isn't it. just keep writing. =)

thank you for sharing our blog and for your sweet words. i began blogging just to keep track of life with lots of littles so i wouldn't forget, but wonderful ladies like you [who share their heart and encouragement with me] have been a sweet added blessing to blogging! thank you.

I have those days too, when I can't think of what to write. And then I have days when my mind is exploding with words!!! It's hit or miss! :0) I love Schilling Times and Happy Days, too. There are so many wonderful, encouraging blogs out there!!
