Many of you have probably noticed I have not been posting about my 365 day journey since the end of June. While I plan to keep going with it, this past month is always hard for me. For those of you who don’t know me very well, my husband and I have lost our only child, our 8 1/2-year-old daughter, six years ago on July 16. I end up having a hard time focusing as the days draw closer to this time. This year has been no different.
On July 1 we also had family fly in from California and has been visiting with us this month. Two of them will be leaving late Monday evening, July 21 and our niece will be leaving on August 2. It’s been really nice having them here with us. We’ve been very busy doing things and spending quality time together.
My goal right now is to start my journey back up on August 2, my birthday.


Thinking of you and relating to your words, Kristena. Praying for you.
Thank you my dear friend, Sylvia. I’m so blessed to know you and have you apart of my life.
May God bring you and your family deep comfort in this difficult season and restore you joy. Kristena.
Thank you so much. Your words mean a lot.
