Thankful this Thursday

I wanted to share my thank you note to my church family- I had them print it in our church newsletter but because this thankfulness extends beyond my church family I wanted to post it here as well...

Dearest Church Family, I would like to thank you all for your concern and prayer support for me during my recent hospitalizations in April and May and now as I am in the recovery process. I am truly blessed to have the love and support of such caring friends. Zach and I would especially like to thank the Roots & Fruits Class and the Discovering the Bible Class for providing meals for us over the last few weeks. I would also like to thank my church family for all the cards, phone calls, emails and texts and for all the well wishes. it is such a blessing to be back at church with everyone as I have missed gathering with my church family. Please continue to keep me and Zach in your thoughts and prayers as I try to regain my strength and we get back to a normal routine!
In His Love,
Audrey Kay

Finally... on to the better side of things...

After battleing 3 strains of pneumonia, two seperate week stays in two hospitals over the course of the last solid month- I am happy to report that I have had two very good days in a row- I now think I am waking up on the "feeling better" side! I can't thank my family and friends enough for all the prayers.

Why Do I Blog?

I have gotten this question more frequently lately... so I thought I would answer it- where else, but my blog! I hope that the fact that I am getting this question means that more people are reading my blog, but who knows!
I believe I blog because I feel that so many people in this world are going through so many of the same things- only we don't know it. Blogging for me is a way to be in contact with people I know, people I dont know and people I have things in common with. My blog is of course a personal testimony of my life and all that my life entails. That could add up to a lot on some days and not so much on other days! I write about many things on here and I plan to get deeper into it- I write about church because I love the Lord and I feel very blessed. I write about family - my immediate family, my extended family and my CF family. I hope to connect with people in the world that may be sharing my experiences and I hope to compare notes! People interest me, they intrigue me and I want to know what makes them live life to thier fullest! I hope you enjoy my posts, I hope you feel free to leave comments, and I hope to make an impact and a change for the better of those I cross paths with!
