Sometimes you just need a friend..
to sit and just ‘be’. The most comforting thing is to have a friend just be there… no words are necessary. A friend to cry with you, to hug you and to share the path with. God knows what we need well in advance, and I know he placed certain people with us for a reason. I am humbled by it all.. and I pray that I can be that kind of friend to you guys, just as you’ve been to me and my family.
“You had strength when I had none. You prayed God would bring me a brand new song, when I didn’t think I could find the strength to sing… You’ve been more than a friend to me, you fight off my enemies. You have spoken truth over my life. You’ll never know what it means to me, just to know you’ve been on your knees for me- Oh you’ve blessed my life, more than you’ll ever know!” ~Watermark
In the midst all that’s going on, I am continually reminded of what a blessing good friends are. God has placed some absolutely amazing people in our lives, and for that I am so much more than grateful. It’s during the valley that we realize how desperately we all need one another. I cannot explain the peace that comes from knowing that people are lifting you up in prayer. I know that Ryan can feel those prayers.
I am thankful to those of you who have continued to share our burden on this journey. God has shined through your love and kindness and touched our hearts. You are more than friends, you are our family. What a blessing it is to have so many brothers and sisters! I love all of you.
