Thanks…

October presented ‘my Kenny’ and  I with a pretty difficult road, a path I know the Lord placed us on for a reason, but it still sucks stinks none-the-less.

I have been so blessed in more ways than I can even begin to describe.  The prayers have been received and so appreciated.  I have the greatest friends/family in the world. 

Here are just a few things that came at the exact, most perfect time and I have become so thankful for each of them:   *chocolate-dipped marshmallows  *big beautiful potted fall flowers  *notes of encouragement in the mail  *cute flannel jammies & starbucks cards  *meals, meals, meals  *giftcards to restaraunts  *prayers by my kiddos  *phone calls from dear dear friends that fed my soul in the most encouraging ways by just being on the phone with me  *offers of dropping the “f-bomb” is necessary (inappropriate, yes.  appreciated, also yes)  *thoughts of all of the sweet and most perfect things my Mom would have said  *Damini, my new friend  *Ken’s hand  *bebrightpink.com  *Psalm 56:3  *Psalm 34:18-19  *the sisterhood of the traveling tiara

Here are a few pics to show some really great bright spots the Lord blessed us with.  We will be good.  God told me so in Jeremiah 29:11.  I was reminded that “He will hold me close during these anxious days.  He’s good for it.  Lean deep into him.”  (thanks ‘Mr. Keith’).
