So nice to hear an update from you......Hi Michelle!<br />So nice to hear an update from you...I have checked in often to see if you had posted. <br />You will continue to be in my prayers. God is with you, He will never leave you or forsake you. He will heal you and make you whole, trust in Him.<br />I am sad to hear that you won't be blogging anymore, I have really enjoyed your posts and creative ideas...I only discovered you about a year ago! So when I have extra time I usually look through your old posts! :)<br /><br />I pray that you find more happy days this year than sad and that you continue to find happiness each day. <br />I look forward to seeing a comment here and there on my blog from you!<br /><br />xo PamMuskokangirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02106028499992713415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9094391411974678162.post-85771858587567098032013-01-02T13:58:39.337-05:002013-01-02T13:58:39.337-05:00My sweet, sweet friend..I just saw this post right...My sweet, sweet friend..I just saw this post right now and I want to just remind you of some things if I may.<br />There is nothing quite like the gift of true friendship, and that my sweet is exactly what our Lord gifted me with in you.<br />He destined our friendship for such a time as this and for forever. You are so deeply loved my angel, and by so many of us here who have had the complete blessing of becoming your friend. From the first day I found you here at Emerald Cove...I sensed such a warmth in you and came to understand that our Lord had brought us together....miles have not separated us. ;)<br />Without you in my life, it just wouldn't be the same. He brought you, and I am eternally grateful.<br />I know that the day I meet you face to face, whether it be here (hopefully) or in heaven, there will not be a dry eye for me. <br />I know our dear friendship will continue but know that you will be missed so dearly here. I am close in heart and I am thankful that He knows where each step is taking you and He is carrying you when you can't stand...<br />I trust that all He is doing in your life is amazing! Each step brings you even closer to His breast....theres no safer place.<br />I love you dearly my darling friend and send you tender hugs.<br />You are so precious..beyond what words can say.<br /><br />Friends forever,<br />Deborah xoxoxooxoxoxxooxxooxxooxxoDeborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074929118510385042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9094391411974678162.post-49171404967172777402013-01-02T13:01:10.970-05:002013-01-02T13:01:10.970-05:00I still pray for you often.

You have been "through the ringer", my friend, haven't you?! You were one of the first people who "found me" out there in blogland, and you made me feel so good, with your uplifting, and happy nature. I'm SO happy your art is giving you peace, and happiness, and pleasure, and that you have even been able to make some money off it. Too cool! You really, really, need to go further, with that, my friend! Do you know how much I will miss your posts? A LOT! You were like a breath of fresh air! GOD BLESS YOU! And, if you ever need, or even just want, to shoot me an email, it wold be so welcome. And, I'm keeping your email address, and I'm going to use it, lol! I want to know how your life is going! Again, I, as well as quite a lot of other people, I see, will miss you a LOT!

Alllllll the way up that mountain. :) <br /><br />Know that I love you to the moon and back and am only a phone call away. I'm looking forward to connecting with you again for another little shopping excursion and lunch. A day like that does both of our hearts good. ♥<br /><br />Smuggles to you, sweet pea.

The past year has been so hard on you but remember that the Lord is in control and in His timing he will open doors for you and bring you out of your depression. You have strength within that you never knew was there. Don't give up or give in to depression. Medication really can help and the love of friends whether we have ever met face to face or not can be so supportive and comforting. Wishing you great new blessings in 2013 and my own kerrieism for you: Adversity causes growth, like the flower that comes up through the crack in the pavement...

I was being selfish and wanted you back but it's time for you to be selfish and take care of yourself.<br /><br />I am so glad you have painting and God for comfort. Who knows one day I might be in a gallery and see your name on a beautiful beachy painting.
