It has been a week where my grief has come in waves. I have cried more this week than I have in a really long time. I have missed Ryan tremendously and it is all the little things that it seems to be hurting the most. I have also felt grief for some of my friends who are going through difficult situations. How I wish that we were all in the place where there is no more crying or pain.
God is so faithful despite the hurt. He continues to bless me in abundance with people who care. I have great family and friends who love me and who love my children. Ryan's work continues to amaze me with their care and concern for us. Tonight they are doing a benefit for our family with a concert and silent auction. I am so grateful for how God orchestrated our coming to Michigan and Ryan getting a job with these amazing people. I will have the opportunity to say a few words tonight . Although I am not a public speaker, I am looking forward to the chance to say thanks for all they have done for us (hopefully I will be able to hold my emotions in check).
God is good and I will continue to praise him even in my grief!

I can not say I understand what you are feeling, and I will not pretend to try. I want you to know that you and your beautiful children are in my prayers everyday! Hold them tight, and enjoy your friends and family tonight.

Lots of hugs and prayers for you and your beautiful babes! :o)
I'm so glad to hear you have such an awesome support system...I wanted to encourage you with a passage of scripture the Lord gave me this week on one of my difficult days...Psalm 146. Have a blessed day, Kristen. I'm praying for you and your cutie pies!
