Feb 22 FRIDAY FIFTEEN: INSTALLMENT #1

Join me for this very first installment of the Friday Fifteen. The bad news? It’s just me. No gold from my guests. No witty banter. The good news? If you’re jonesing for an epi of the Real Mom Podcast, this will help hold you over. This week I wax poetic on staying in the messy with bio parents, Job and how no one can get in the way of God’s plan, marrying foster care recruitment with support, fake Girl Scout cookies, and Instacart.

• Job 42

2 “I know that you can do all things;
    no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
3 You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’
    Surely I spoke of things I did not understand,
    things too wonderful for me to know.

4 “You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak;
    I will question you,
    and you shall answer me.’
5 My ears had heard of you
    but now my eyes have seen you.
6 Therefore I despise myself
    and repent in dust and ashes.”

• Ladies, I’m telling you Instacart is the bomb. Try it, and you’ll be hooked and thank me for the extra two hours of your life you just got back.
