- I think that you're a smart person if you understand the title of this post...it means that you read James Joyce in high school. And if you read James Joyce then you must be slightly smart b/c that guy was a crazy psycho writer.
- All of that talk about James Joyce is just my personal opinion.
- Maybe you love James Joyce. If you do I have to admit that I think you're a little weird.
- Speaking of weird...i misspell that word every time i write it. I always write "wierd". But then it looks weird. Wierd looks weird.
- Are you confused yet?
- I'm feeling a little more "bah humbug" this year than I ever have before. Trying to figure out why.
- Jane is coming home.
- Jane is coming home.
- Jane is coming home.
- Sorry, can't stop thinking about that one.
- Sometimes I feel like a really un-fun person.
- Is that unfunness just a season, or is that the person that I've become? Sometimes life feels way to heavy.
- Sometimes I don't know how to act like a "normal" person. I've had so much sorrow in my life over the past 3 years--sometimes I don't even know how to respond to things/people/situations.
- I really hate that.
- I could eat guacamole every day of my life.
- Would I turn green if I ate guacamole every day of my life?
- How could we live apart from God's grace?
- My favorite name for God right now is Emmanuel--God WITH us.
- I wonder what it was like when the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary and she conceived Jesus. Could she feel anything? What was she thinking? Was she afraid?
- I don't remember how much formula to feed a 10 month old.
- I wish I knew when Jane's birthday really was. Kind of cool that the only ones that really know are God and her birthmom. That is something that belongs to her.
- Does Jane's birthmom think about her every day? Did she wait in the shadows to make sure that someone was going to rescue her baby?
- I don't know where to begin in all my packing for Ethiopia.
- Why is Ava the funniest kid ever?
- What would I ever do without Ava?
- I am jealous of Ava's clothes.
- I want to go on a date with my husband.
- I started rereading the Harry Potter series several months ago. I'm on book 5 & a certain beloved someone is about to die. Since I know that that person is about to die, I didn't have the guts to keep reading. The book has been sitting on my night stand for almost a month now.
- I can't begin a new book until I've finished the one I'm on.
- That means that I haven't read in over a month.
- Speaking of...why did that beloved character have to die? Come on J.K.? What's up with that??? Why him??
- I would love to go to lunch with J.K. And that's what I would call her. Or homedog.
- Did I just say that out loud?
- Does it count as saying it out loud if you type it?
- How many bullet points have I typed?
- Is anyone still reading?
- Am I crazy?
- I love hot tamales.
- If I was a candy bar I would be
- Why did I start that sentence? I have no idea what I would be.
- What would you be?
- Have you commented on the last post so you can enter to win the cd? You better hurry!
- God is pursuing Ava. I love that about Him!
- I need a fancy dress for a party.
- Am I as consistent in being the persistent widow in Luke 18?
- Am I making an impact on anyone?
- What will Ava remember most about her childhood?
- Am I ok with that?
- How can my marriage be even better?
- I love soft sheets.
- Wow...that was funny how I wrote about marriage then the next point was about sheets. Frued could analyze that for days.
- Yes, I think it's obvious that I'm a crazy person.
- The.
- End.

ReplyDeleteHilarious!! And yes, I did read all the way to The. End. But sad to say, I do not know your crazy psycho poet. I guess I'll just have to settle with getting to know you! (A fellow AWAAer) Although a rookie at that. Can't wait to see pics of Jane with her new mommy!
ReplyDeleteRachel, I like you!!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to hearing all about your trip to bring Jane home!
BTW, I am SURE that she is the same baby I met in April! I love seeing God's intimate hand in our lives....!

I love your blog! I have been following it for some time and I love it. I am so happy that Jane is finally yours (legally I mean, she has always been yours) and you can bring her home. Nothing is better than that feeling of knowing your baby is finally coming home (we have a son from Guatemala). Congratulations!

You are not weird -- you are experiencing BLISS!! Enjoy every moment!!! I know our Heavenly Father loves when we are His giddy little children because of His unspeakable faithfulness!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a VERY expectant mom's stream of thought!
ReplyDeleteMay God bring home sweet Jane soon and fill your heart with joy.
Hugs and prayers,

That was fun :) And you are not crazy. Just real...homedog.

God is pursuing Ava. I needed to read that tonight...only when I read it, somehow there were some other little-people names that got substituted into the sentence and made me stop and pray.
ReplyDeleteSaying a prayer for your family, too.

I've missed those...I love random thoughts with Rachel...that alone proves you actually are a fun person. Keep em coming! I'm still so excited about Jane...I think God's pursuing her too just by bringing her into your family and home. Love you!
ReplyDeleteLove you...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait till you write your book in James Joyce fashion!!! Let's go on a date when we get to TN since we have Christmas part-a-thon this week.
Love you!
