This blog made me cry harder than any of your others (besides "24 Hours", of course). But, I think it's because I am overwhelmed by what a great God we serve that He can bring you the ability to find thankfullness and a sense of peace in a situation that is devestating to say the least! You are an amazing woman, person, human being...period. And we, (I will speak for most of us that follow you), are thankful that you let us take part in your journey and your walk with the Lord.
ReplyDeleteI pray that you enjoy and find peace and catharsis in Women of Faith this weekend. My sisters, mom and I will be there. We will be wearing our red for Conner! We love you and your family, and continue to lift you up in constant prayer and protection!
Thank you Jesus...love, love, love.
what a blessing you are
