Surroundings

Just a thought about how important it is to surround yourself with people that love you and pray for you. What a struggle this 4 month journey has been and I know that prayers of family and friends around me have gotten me through. What a blessing it is to be a child of God and know that he puts people in our lives to care for us and carry us through hard times.

At church on Sunday I shared my heart (through many tears) about my struggles through motherhood and how God has brought me through and stood beside me in very dark days. How blessed I am to have a church family that supports me. I have had countless people come to me and tell me they are praying for me and they will help in any way they can.....what a blessing it is and it touches me heart in a very real way!

God thank you for your provision and guidance through these early days of being a mom! I pray that you will give me wisdom and strength to bring Caleb up in your Word. Help me live a life that will be pleasing to you and that he will see as an offering to you. YOu are the one I desire to serve with all my heart! I pray that my son will come to know you at an early age and know of your life and saving grace. I pray that you would protect his heart and mind as he grows that he will be a strong leader for your kingdom! I love you with all my heart and desire to be the wife, mother, daughter, aunt and EVERYTHING else that you desire me to be. Equip me with your love and strength in the days ahead! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

Hey Amy, I just wanted to say that I love you and I am so proud of who you are. If there is ever ANYTHING you need I hope that you know that you can come to me about it. You have a wonderful family and I can't wait to see what God is going to do with you, Kirk, and Caleb. Can't wait to see you around Christmas. Talk to you soon. DR

Hey sis,
I miss you so much already! The time seemed to go by way way way to fast and there was so much going on that it just seemed like a few hours. I want you to know how much I love you and I want you to know that you are doing GREAT with Caleb. I am proud of who you have become and who you are becoming! You are going to continue to be a great mother and wife and your family is very very blessed to have you. We are going to miss so much seeing you guys at Christmas. Just send all the thousands of dollars our way in either check or giftcard form ;) Talk to you soon and love you more than you know!

Dear sis- thanks for doing a blog, but more importantly, thanks for being real and sharing your heart. I love being able to share advice and swap stories, hear how Caleb is growing and changing, and hear how you are doing. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to feel needed from across the miles. You are a great mom Amy. Keep laughing and remember "this too will pass- and much too quickly at that.":) Please call me anytime! Miss you, love you, am proud of you- Kates
