Thank you.

Thank you.

What else can I say as I sit here, my eyes full of tears and my lip quivering and my heart overflowing with gratitude that you guys would take the time to make me feel so loved? Thank you.

Thank you, husband, for selflessly loving me and cheering for me and championing me, not just on my birthday but every single day. Your love has changed my life forever.

Thank you, parents, for loving me with that crazy-love that is beyond anything I’ve ever seen. It still overwhelms me when I think of how you have covered my entire life in unconditional love. I have never for one single moment doubted your love for me. Thank you. And thank you, Janie, Dan, Betsy, for your love these past 9 years.

Thank you, Janae, for 32 years of friendship and for, in the midst of your CRAZY season right now, taking the time to organize all of this to bless me. Here’s to the next 32 years together.

Thank you, friends, for taking the time in the midst of your full lives to write a few lines of encouragement to me. If Mark Twain said he can live two months on one good compliment, I should be pretty much set for life!  You breathed new life into my sails and inspired me to follow Jesus more. SO glad we get to do this life-journey together!

Thank you, readers, for reading. For enduring my wordiness (!), opening your hearts to let Him work, for following along through all the highs and lows, for commenting and writing so that I know I’m not out here all alone (!), and most of all for doing this life-thing together with me. It is the greatest honor to do this beautiful, messy, sacred mundane journey together.

Have a glorious Sunday worshipping our Lord.

Thank you.
