I know Jesus is the reason for the season. So much has happened in our home in the last year that I often reflect on the negative instead of taking time to look at all the positive. I'm that mom who has a ton of things to do, always feel like I'm saying "in a minute". I get so consumed with stress that I don't stop to look at all the positive. My world felt like it came crashing down last year but not nearly in the way your world changed. Thank you for being so transparent and so honest, it always brings me back to reality. I know God has a purpose and plan, even in the midst of pain. Thank you for the blessing you and your family have been and continue to be to so many! Merry Christmas!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876360566634000257.post-40084897326417034692014-12-16T22:59:33.627-05:002014-12-16T22:59:33.627-05:00When I met you Saturday at GVES I told you that yo...When I met you Saturday at GVES I told you that you were an inspiration. I truly believe that God's plan for you was for you to show and instill strength in others no matter what their troubles may be. Even though it may not seem like it this is your gift.

I never knew how strong someone could be until I learned of the strength that you and your family have. I can only hope that one day I can be this strong. I know that I have nothing to compare to the loss of a child but I know sadness and I know what you are feeling. Its normal. We all need a shoulder to cry on sometimes and there is no shame in that. It took reading your blog for me to realize this for myself. I know that our God is and all forgiving all mighty God, and you Carly Blaine, have helped me see this more clearly. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Im closer to Jesus now than I have been in my whole life.
