hello, my name is Gena Killen
and i am in need of comments
because i lack affirmation in my life.
i felt rather empty after my last blog. only two of you, susan and julie, (who are now my two new best friends) relied.
either one of two things are going on:
1- susan and julie are my only two friends
2- susan and julie are the only two friends that read my blog
i am believing there may be a third option that goes something like my friend Caroline admits to: she's a reader but not a commenter. i begged her to enter the world of blogging and she readily admitted to not knowing how to blog (good one caro, i distinctly remember you doing way better than me in school)
i want to believe my friends read my last post and felt bubbly from their toes and it made them crinkle their nose...but i am guessing you read it and went-" uh, yeah right Gena, whatever."
maybe i truly can't communicate well.
sometimes i want to spank everybody and say -"Friends are supposed to be fun! Be thankful we have each other" then i'd have to spank myself and i am not into that.
either way...i will grow some confidence in believing we all love each other and are thankful for each other without the replies.

I read your last post and thought "I can't comment on that...who am I to think that she is talking about me?" I'm sorry! you know how I analyze things way to much! I love you, our friendship and your blog!!!!!!
You are too funny Gena! I will keep on commenting b/c I like to get comments also. I completly feel you on this post. HA!
This is Etta (not Justin). I read your last post and had the same thought Cortnie had because you know I live out of town and never even see anyone. But, I love you just the same. You are always an inspiration to me and I am always reading.
etta i was "enable to access your profile" so i will just comment here- i was looking over at Justin Michael the other Sunday and remembered all the prayers we lifted in Bible class about him and justin during your pregnancy. it's awesome to see his healthy self an isle over every now and then. a great reminder of God's blessings. miss you.
Hey Gena, I also read your blog but never comment. I feel like a stalker most days. Keep up the blogging.
hey, Gena--
I felt funny replying because I don't feel like I'm in anybody's inner circle. I just like *you*! :)
You are loved by a whole lot of people. Maybe they are like me in general and just don't pipe up when they ought to (I didn't send Miss Montye a birthday card but thought about it a zillion times, I feel so guilty about that! I guess I need to get a Thanksgiving card for her, huh?)
you are so precious. And not just because you are nice to my 6th grader.

Gena, I was signed under Justin's google account. I don't actually have a blog. I started one but never have posted anything. Anyway, everytime I am back at Crosspoint it brings back a lot of memories from that crazy time in my life. You guys were such a family to me. I'm not sure Justin will ever really understand why I feel the way I do about that group of people. I am definitely reminded everyday of God's blessings. I will probably see you at church again soon.
Etta
I know it's frustrating when you pour your heart out in an important post and no one seems to have any interest in it...but maybe your posts are so profound people don't know how to respond!
Gena, I love reading your blog. But since we don't have the internet at the house, I don't get to get on often. Everytime I can though, I go through the list and read them all. I love getting comments too....I'll do better at commenting. You're a great friend! :)
Well that is one way to coerce me into commenting. I have now been forced to come up with a name and password since your "blog does not allow anonymous comments." :) I loved your last post and yes I smiled right down to my toes. You are a wonderful friend that stands the test of time (and distance.) I am truly blessed with all that God has given me. Maybe one day I will come up with a blog of my own, but until then I'll just keep on reading yours. Happy turkey day! Much love!!!!
i'm here, i'm here, i'm here.....i've been crappy at keeping up with my own blog as well as others. I LOVE YOU!
Hey, Gena--I just heard from 2 internet friends that they read my blog (didn't know that!) and it makes me wonder who else is reading who never admits it...I think you have many lurkers who enjoy your words and like YOU and they just don't post comments. You are one of the talented ones, able to put your thoughts into words in a unique way. I'm glad I found your blog.
YES, I got a comment out of Caroline!
Thanks for all your comments. I know I am loved whether you sent it out here on blogger or not. It's so much more fun to blog when you hear back from your readers. I know you are all silently agreeing. I am just the sad one who whines for replies. I'm not afraid to admit it.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
I'm very behind on my blog reading! When I get a chance to check in on my blogs, yours is on my list!!! Keep 'em coming!!
