The thankful bee would not exist if not for some very special people. Without them, this blog would still be a pipe dream instead of a living, breathing thing. Below is special, heartfelt thanks from me to you!
our readers
To start, thank you to our readers. I never started writing about my beautifully messy life for an audience. I began writing as a creative outlet to journal my thoughts and process some hard emotions. Somehow my words became helpful and encouraging to others. I am truly touched that you care to read what I write.
my mentor
Next, special thanks to my spiritual mentor. I asked God to bless me with five minutes of your time. Instead, He gave me a few years of your friendship. You taught me how to better hear God’s voice. And that it’s just as important to DO as to HEAR. I miss your guidance, warrior lady.
my parents
Thirdly, extra special thanks to my mom and dad. You have given me a million reasons to be thankful. As a parent myself now, I better understand the sacrifices you made to always put our family first. I am a reflection of your love and unwavering support. P.S. I’m still counting on you to buy all the copies of my first book.
my children
Speaking of being a parent, special thanks with a hug to my daughter and sons. The three of you are my joy and my heart. You are the best thing God has ever let me be a part of, even in the moments you challenge me. You give me a reason to put one foot in front of the other on my hardest days. Best of all, you make me belly laugh. And without you, I’d have far less material to write.
my husband
A giant thank you with a kiss to my husband. You have been my teammate and my friend for most of my life. I bet you didn’t see any of this coming when we met in high school, did you? You encourage me to be bold and take risks for good reasons. Case in point, you didn’t even raise an eyebrow when I told you I wanted to start the thankful bee. I appreciate you, and I love you.
my Father
Most special of all, thank you to Abba Father for being faithful and loving. Especially on the days I forget who You say I am. Please help me to honor You with my words and show Your character to our readers. My writing is really all for You.
