Self portrait in early Novemeber...I couldn't even smile back then...I can now...most days
I am so overwhelmed...I need to express to my friends and family how much I love and appreciate all of you. I've never been one who likes to ask for help. I have never been one who wants service or accepts it. I am one who likes to be independent and strong. It's just the way I am. However in these last few months I have found that I couldn't do it alone. I needed help. I have received that help in so many ways. I have felt your prayers...it is what has helped me get out of bed in the morning. It is how I have been able to function in the middle of the day when I didn't think I could go on. I have been the recipient of so much service. Daily phone calls, notes and cards, emails, unexpected dinners, plates of goodies, car pools and babysitting for the kids are just some of the things I needed. I have felt the tender mercies of the Lord and I know that he personally knows me by sending family, friends and even long lost friends that I haven't talked to in years to find me and serve me. I am truly humbled. You have strenthened me. You have lifted me up when I couldn't do it myself. I will forever be thankful for having you in my life. I am a better person because of you.

Kristen,
We are so glad you are surrounded by such good people who have done so much for you and your girls when we are physically so far away. We will continue to pray for you and are looking forward to seeing you soon!
P.S. If there are any leftovers from those unexpected dinners or some of those goodies still around, we can help you finish them off.
hey kristen...i was sad to hear you were released from your church calling today. i just feel really bad that i didn't have my own life in order to know the needs of someone very special like you who was needing the extra support the last few months. i have thought about you alot lately and wish the best for you and those sweet girls of yours!! i LOVED this post. i haven't stopped crying.
Kristen, thanks for sharing that with all of us who have been worrying and praying for you. I hope that you continue to feel loved and taken care of no matter where you are! I'm sorry that you will miss your friends, but those of us from up north are excited to have you around.
Kristen, We are missing you so much! Gracie has written Isabelle and Mattison about 4 letters each since you left. And that night you left our house, Gracie cried and cried for about 2 hours. Ashlyn misses your girls too, she's just more like her Dad in that she isn't quite that emotional :)!!
I hope you guys are getting settled and that you all have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
hang in there. we love you.
Thank you for your friendship! We will miss you! We are constantly praying for you and your family!
