Month of Thanks: Day 9-11

Day 9:

I am so thankful for real genuine friends. I have prayed & prayed for these friendships in my life. As a child growing up I was always envious of those girls who had a "best friend". I had friends growing up but never had that one best friend. Girls were mean & catty growing up. Lets just say I did not have good experiences with girlfriends, but it was always something I desperately wanted in my life. I am so thankful now as an adult that God has blessed me with 3 incredible girlfriends that know me inside & out, they know all my junk & still think I am awesome. Those friends I can call on for anything & I know they will be there. Friends that don't have to call before coming, who can help themselves to anything in my house, who when they leave it is always too soon, and after we've been together I feel like they have made me a better person. I hope that these ladies know how much they mean to me & I hope they know who they are but just incase they are wondering... Court, Emily & Ashley, I sure do love you ladies! Wether we have been friends years or months I believe that we are 'soul sisters'.

Day 10:

I am thankful for those who breathe life into my child. I am so blessed that God has put individuals in our lives that truly love my daughter. It is a prayer I pray daily, that God would surround her with only those who would breathe life into her. God continues to amaze me. From Kar's friends, to her teachers, to our friends, to our church family, everywhere I look I see individuals speaking life into her, encouraging her & lifting her up. I'm a thankful mama.

Day 11:

Laughter. I love to laugh. love to hear a laugh. love to share a laugh! It really is the very best medicine!
