My Incredible Family


It's taken me quite awhile to write this post because I really wanted to use the right words to tell you just how much my family means to me and how incredibly blessed I am to have them in my life.


I often wonder what I have done to deserve such incredible people in my life.  I'm just an ordinary person doing ordinary things.  Actually, there is definitely room for improvement.  So, why me?  Why am I the one that God chose?
One thing I do know for sure; not a day goes by that I don't thank Him for blessing me so greatly.


Mark and I were married 24 years back on October 8th. That was one of the happiest days of my life back then.  Little did I know how much more incredible it was going to get.  My love for that man grows exponentially every single minute.  He is my rock, my love, my spiritual advisor and most importantly my best friend.  We are true BFFs.


Joshua Christian Kay.  My first born. My #1 son.  My confidant. I always say to him, "until you have kids of your own you will never know the depths of my love for you".  No truer words have ever been spoken.  He is the sweetest, kindest and most loving 19 year old I know.  He makes me smile everyday.  The shot above was not posed and the photographer just snapped the picture.  It's perfect!

I have the above two images on my "Words to Live by" board on Pinterest.  They are two of my favorites.  I couldn't have said it better myself.


This is my Chlobie Joykins.  Chloe Joy Kay.  Her name couldn't have been more perfect.  She brings such Joy to my life.  I certainly don't know what I would do without her.  She's spunky, witty, and very opinionated.  She brings laughter into my life just when I need it the most.  I wouldn't want her any other way.  


They are the love of my life.  I couldn't be more proud of these two extra special kids.  I am a better person because of them.  They truly are gifts from above.  Deep down inside I know that they are not mine to keep forever.  They belong to God.....children of God.  My heart is overflowing with gratitude towards God for allowing me to raise His children.  My only hope is that he approves so far.



Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father.....who does not change like shifting shadows. 
James 1:17







Thank you all for allowing me this platform to humbly talk about my family.  They mean the world to me and I would be no one without them.

Blessings,
Holly
