A Real Answer

Today I stopped myself in the midst of automatically saying, "I'm good."

The precious friend asking wanted a real answer to her question. "How are you REALLY?"

I took a few moments to think about that.

How am I really?

I feel at peace. I can breathe again. I know God is in control of all things and I trust Him. I know He has a purpose for all that He does and I trust that it is good.

I feel blessed. I have been utterly amazed by the outpouring of love and people rallying around my family, lifting us up in prayer and those who know when we need to get out for a cup of coffee or a game of football. I have seen God's provision and witnessed prayers being answered.

I feel loved. Not just by my husband and kids but by so many friends and family. My parents have blessed us so much with their support, their help and walking this road with us every step of the way. My entire family has been so supportive and encouraging.

I am so thankful...
To God for a never ending list of things.
To my husband for his love and for walking everyday of this life by my side.
To my children for stretching me so far beyond who I ever thought I could be.
To my parents for being the best parents in the world and for doing way too much for us.
To my church, sharing this journey in faith with each one of you is an honor.
To friends who love and laugh and make this life so much richer.
To family who send their love no matter the distance.
To teachers and therapists who really care.

So to answer that question...I REALLY AM GOOD!
