DISCLAIMER

This blog is where I record a limited depiction of my feelings, family, and faith. My blog was recently under intense scrutiny, and so I feel this disclaimer is necessary. I try to tell my story as openly as I can, but this blog represents a cropped and narrow-viewed version of my story -- like all social media -- it is NOT the full story. Many events happen behind the scenes that are not recorded or written about, due to the sensitive nature of others involved. Life has many layers. Many layers can be shared and many cannot, and this blog is simply a layer of my life that I allow others to view, but it is not an accurate depiction of all the layers of my life.

My Heart is Bursting with Gratitude

I cannot go another day without expressing my gratitude. I have been treated with such love, and kindness -- I can hardly stand it! My heart is overflowing with love, and appreciation, for all those who have been so sweet to me, and my family.

There is still so much good in this world, and I have seen it firsthand! There is no way I can ever personally thank everyone who has helped in my time of need, but for those of you who read this, please know how my heart is full of love and gratitude! Each and every gift, and the thoughts and words shared with me, have been uplifting and strengthening. I can feel the prayers of those who have lifted their voices to Heaven in our behalf. Those prayers fill me with strength and joy.

I have not had one single dark day, not one. I had a dark night on Tuesday, April 1st. But since then, I have been lifted to new heights of faith, and devotion to God through all of this -- in ways I never thought possible.

I am not alone. I will never be alone.

Thanks to everyone for your kindness, and generosity. It is so special, and eternally treasured by me. Thanks be to God for allowing such glorious people to be in my life. I have seen those who act as followers of Christ, I have seen those who honor Him through the services of others in need, like me.

May you be blessed for your kindness and goodness!

Love, love, love!
