I ...Kristy,<BR/><BR/>I love that your write from your heart. I pray and encourage you to get your self out more and more. That's what the enemy wants from us is to be isolated. Your testimony is amazing. Your ability to comfort others who have come after (and even before) you, is AMAZING! You are stronger than you think- you should never hesitate to tell anyone about your boys who have gone to heaven. If they feel ackward (so what) they wont when they walk away from you and it will soften their hearts for the Lord. You know im one of your biggest fans- I am blessed to have followed your journey. Know that I pray for you every day and that you inherit His strength on the days that you feel like you cant go any further.<BR/><BR/>Your friend,<BR/>MelissaMelissa Dovelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12791352045567564932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-76535965409587367702008-08-29T18:00:00.000-04:002008-08-29T18:00:00.000-04:00Incredible post!

So many are uncomfortable with tears and grief. Would rather hear we are doing great, but God is glorified in honesty also. You are doing great. Forget the time thing...I agree with you. It just hurts different as we continue on this journey.

Then, I may not even realize that I had wanted the answer. But the ability to get through the day is all I can pray for. I will pray that God continues to bless you and your family.zanesmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00264713926845256655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-89693557414522313382008-08-29T09:54:00.000-04:002008-08-29T09:54:00.000-04:00Your faithfulness to see your blessings even in yo...Your faithfulness to see your blessings even in your brokeness is a powerful testimony...<BR/><BR/>My prayer for you is that as He strengthens you and gives you hope that He will continue to pour out His blessings on your sweet family.<BR/><BR/>He who promises is faithful...So Blessedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15922257140830561093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-18069335048652596592008-08-29T01:35:00.000-04:002008-08-29T01:35:00.000-04:00>I am forever broken, but equally blessed.

I need to try to stay focused on this fact when I'm struggling with my worries of the future! Thanks for the reminder!

I woke up today thinking about our neice today. She'd be 20 months old today and it just hurt. But, for some reason it helped me to talk to my sister-in-law about it and I looked at her picture and just smiled. I have to remind myself that God has a reason for everything that He does. We may not understand but, sometimes that's the beauty of it, not knowing. Stay strong and do what is best for you to remember your beautiful sons! <BR/><BR/>God bless you!!<BR/><BR/>*Tiffany!*Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982012133675822484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-2185605674875537572008-08-28T16:35:00.000-04:002008-08-28T16:35:00.000-04:00Dear Kristy,God loves you and HE IS doing great th...Dear Kristy,<BR/><BR/>God loves you and HE IS doing great things through you right now, moment by moment. I love you and I love your honest heart. This is the answer I would expect to hear if I were to ask you how you are. I pray for you to feel renewed strength each day you wake to the pain and the blessing. I don't understand all of this either but I stand with you and pray for you to find peace in it. Grace is getting you through and I still carry a small part of your burden with me. All of the pictures of Lukes birthday are so precious. He looked so happy!!!<BR/>Take care and have a wonderful day today.<BR/><BR/>Love and Hugs, Laurie in Ca.Laurie in Ca.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15599832324966859946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-73838360215992058292008-08-28T16:17:00.000-04:002008-08-28T16:17:00.000-04:00Beautiful...Beautiful...Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03864060563315231039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-27000535357556464752008-08-28T15:51:00.000-04:002008-08-28T15:51:00.000-04:00My dear Kristy,Today's been 'one of the days' for ...My dear Kristy,<BR/><BR/>Today's been 'one of the days' for me and it's just 12:45. When I think of tackling the rest of the day without tears and complaining, that alone is exhausting. Thank you for putting yourself out there. I don't feel so alone in all I feel. Thank you for being transparent. Just reading your title has 'put me in my place', so to speak. As Emily said the other day...God is good all the time. It's just hard to focus on this sometimes in the middle of the toughness.<BR/><BR/>I love you my friend. Praying for you always.<BR/><BR/>ShannonShannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552672386641804124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7668050648919046122.post-29631996846537924972008-08-28T14:51:00.000-04:002008-08-28T14:51:00.000-04:00Isn't our God amazing?
