Personal & Confidential

I want to thank everyone for their outpouring of support and prayers.  I've had many comments and emails due to Monday's post.  I appreciate each and every one of you who responded (and those of you who haven't as well).  This is a tough road and I guess that in the last few days I have reached my limit.

I do apologize to those of you who may have been upset by what I have written.  While this is a very personal "family matter", this is also my personal blog.  It is my outlet for my thoughts and feelings.  I really wish that I could share better news, but as we all know, life is not always roses and chocolates.

Too bad it isn't......I could really use some chocolate right about now!

Oh, and as for the Lizzie*Kate fifteen minute project, I didn't stop here on Monday night.  I pushed myself all the way through letter "S" and I'm now well on my way to the second to last line of the project.  (I hope to post a progress picture again on Friday.)

Keep your stitches happy......if I can, you can!

Please know that many of us are keeping you in our thoughts. We are hoping for you. These blogs are for us to connect. Whether it be with needlework or a place to chat and vent....that is how I feel mine is and it has helped me on days of need. Hang in there....
and chocolates are so important!

The first two comments pretty much said what I would have said. Glad that you were able to push through the difficult spot - that took strength. Sending hugs and prayers your way - now go grab some chocolate!!

Wow, I'm so impressed by your strength. I'm so glad you got through it. It's amazing how strong you can be when you need to, isn't it? They say God never gives you too much to handle. But you never know how strong you can be till you have to be. You should be so proud of yourself for getting through this difficult time. And you're obviously still sane!!! Wish I could be there to give you a hug and some Ferrero Rochet!! (I think I spelled that right...)

Cindy said...

I too thought your blog is a good place to vent, share and laugh. If you truly have had people scold you for venting you know what I would say to them. Well yes you do because you did only much, much nicer than I would have. I knew you could push past that letter. As far as chocolate what's your favorite kind? I'll bring you some! Keep your head up August is still here, it will pass soon. :) Love ya!

Peggy Lee said...

Yes....chocolate.

....and prayers!

Nancy said...

Glad you are putting one foot in front of the other, some days it takes a lot of strength and prayers to make it through to the other side. You have more strength than you know and there are so many prayers being said for you, it will all work out somehow. And chocolate helps a lot too!! ;^)

you have been in my thoughts since Monday. HOpe all is going as good as it can...and I do think chocolate helps!

Your blog is your blog - can write about what ever makes your day...if someone doesn't want to read, they can click off...

hugs to you!!

I can't believe anyone would have the audacity to say anything negative about your post the other night. You have a right to say whatever is on your mind on your blog. This is your space to share the things that make you happy, sad, angry, excited, etc...Plus it's a great place to find support and encouragement from people with good hearts. I wish certain people would learn that if you don't like what you are reading on the internet, close the page and move on. Sometimes its best to keep your comments to yourself.

You are in my thoughts and prayers! It's your blog--write what you want! Hang in there.

Kathy said...

Wish I had a big box of Godiva chocolates to share with you right now.
Don't ever worry about offending someone. it is YOUR blog and you have the right to say what you please. From experience I know it helps to share your emotions and thoughts. Hang in there. More prayers are heading your way.

Scully said...

I'm so sorry, Jennifer. I think it's great that you are sharing your pain here. I think one of the first things that I read about on you blog was a post about your miscarriage, and it touched me a lot. Until my best friend had a miscarriage, I had no idea how frequent it happens, because of course, it is such a painful experience, so no one talks about it. I think that writing about it will not only help you, but other people who are going through the same thing. Hang in there. I believe that God has a plan for all of us, it's just really hard to go along with it, sometimes. I think you are very brave, and I will say a special prayer for you in church this weekend.
