Did I just say “sexy”?
…ahem…
I meant “foxy”, of course!
Either way, I’m pretty sure you know by now that this is not Lynnette. As a matter of fact, this is Abigail. I am hacking into Momma’s blog and posting, secretly. *teehee-to-the-taha*
Oh my. Why would I do such a thing?!
Ok…forget “sexy” or “foxy”…she’s perfectly lovely!
Everyone comment and wish my momma the happiest of 43rd birthdays!
(or of any birthdays, for that matter…but this just happens to be my way of telling you that it’s her 43rd.)
Happy Birthday, Lynette! I hope you have a wonderful day!
Thanks Sheila! I had a wonderful day – and even more so because so many of you wished me a happy day.
Happy birthday Lynnette. My absolute favorite thing about you is the type of mother you are. You love your children and it is very apparent. I think it is adorable that your daughter hi-jacked your blog to let us know it’s your birthday. And such a sweet child for reminding you how old you are. I love it! You can tell she has your same quirky sense of humor. Seriously, I do hope you have one of the most fantastic birthdays ever today.
What a sweet word of encouragement! Thank you so much for taking time to wish me a happy birthday. (Yes, Abigail does have the same quirky sense of humor! Ha!)
Much love,
Lynnette
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you have a wonderful blessed day…..
I love reading your blog… Helps me destress and I need that most days… especially as I get older…
(will be 45 on Saturday… oh my)
Happy Birthday Angie! I hope this 45th birthday is wonderful!!! I had a very sweet birthday and especially because I had so much love come at me – including your comment!!!
Thanks so much for popping by and wishing me a happy birthday (especially so I could leave YOU a happy birthday wish!).
Love,
Lynnette
Happy Birthday Sunshine…You light up my life! Your ~Joy~ is contagious!
I love so many things about you…but one wonderful thing is how you are God’s vessel. You have yielded yourself to Him…as clay in the Master’s hand…and you have let Him mold you, make you, and yes ..even break you…and re~make you again and again and again! So many people who experience loss in their life turn bitter…but you have become BETTER…by God’s grace, and through His strength and power!
May He continue to bless you and use you for His Glory!
I am so blessed to be you Momma! I Love You!!!!!
You have set a wonderful example for me! One of my favorite parts about me is YOU! ha! Seriously though, I wouldn’t be who I am if you weren’t who YOU are. I adore you, my momma.
Thank you for always loving me so truly and sweetly.
Affectionately,
Lynnette

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYNNETTE!
My favorite thing about your momma, is she is so real and so full of love for the Lord and she doesn’t care who knows it. May God bless you with many,many more.
Signed,
One of your regular readers, but not one of your regular commente….eerrss (if that is even a word)
Michelle,
My husband has a cousin who (before she was married) was Mischele Thompson. So, your comments always jump off the page (even though your first names are spelled differently.)
Thank you for regularly reading my blog. Means a lot to me. *Smile*
And Thank you for the birthday wishes! It was such a nice day.
Love,
Lynnette
Happy, happy birthday!!
Thanks Cecilia! (Of course I love your name! It’s like Cecily with an ia instead of a y.)
So pretty.
HAPPY Birthday! I really enjoy your real life blog, it just hits home with me. I go to a church with a lot of peers, students, young family types and sometimes I just crave having relationship with moms that are wiser and yes older then me, reading helps fill the void.
Well, thank you Christy!
I’m glad I provide that “older” fellowship for you. tee hee.
Thank you for the birthday wishes! It was a most lovely and fun day.
Love,
Lynnette
Happy, Happy Birthday, Sweet Lynette! I just got a copy of your book today and just as I suspected, I shouldn’t have opened it directly from the mailbox, b/c I have had a terrible time putting it down. I can’t wait until I get some quiet time later so I can pick it back up. Thank you so much for your transparency and willingness to share what God has done in your life through painful losses. I have never experienced loss of a child, but yet your words resonate with me, b/c we all who are seeking Him, need to allow Him to perform His miracles on our hearts through the perfect plans He chooses. It has truly been one of the most difficult years I have ever had and your book is so timely. Thank you, again, and do enjoy your birthday with the blessing of your beautiful family. <3
Thank you Stephanie! I hope my book is a blessing to you during this difficult time. I like to pick it up at times when I forget how close God wants to be to me. I have clung so desperately to Him during the difficult times… and it feels AMAZING! He has proven Himself faithful over and over again. He doesn’t walk away, but sometimes I do. I don’t want to – EVER! I’m thankful for the times the Lord has allowed the trials and heartaches so that I will always have the memories of that sweet fellowship… memories that draw me back over and over again.
Thank you for the birthday wishes Stephanie!
Much love,
Lynnette
Happy birthday! (I also Tweeted this to you. I just joined. God help me not become an even bigger internet addict!)
Hi Amy! I tweeted you back! It just took me a few days because I usually tweet from my phone and it’s not working. :’( boo hoo
Thanks for the birthday wishes!
Love,
Lynnette
Her smile and her ability to laugh at herself. I love that she is REAL! Not one of those “I’m so perfect” types
more like a “Life’s not perfect…and that’s okay” type 
MUCH BIRTHDAY LOVE!!!!
M
Thank you my down to earth and real friend.
I love that about you too!
Thanks for the birthday wishes as well. I look forward to our time together next month! (especially since I haven’t been able to spend any time with you lately!)
Love,
Lynnette
Hmmmm…well I’m thrilled that you are coming to the Keys
lol
I think you may have me mixed up with another fabulous Michelle G in your life
But…for what it’s worth – The first line made my day!
HA!
BLESSINGS & LOVE
“the other” Michelle G
HA! You’re right! I did! Oh brother.
I have a friend named Michelle Gills – so I saw Michelle G and assumed it was her. And you know – if I haven’t done that before, I ALMOST have! I’ll be on alert from now on. tee hee
BUT, I went to your blog to see which Michelle G you actually are and NOW I know just who you are.
In fact, I totally remembered your picture. So NOW I will stick your face with “Michelle G”. THANK YOU for bringing that to my attention.
I’m so sorry to read about your granddaughters! Just can’t believe that! Is the younger one who was in ICU doing better? Is she home yet? Keep me updated! I’ll be praying.
Love,
Lynnette
Happy birthday, Lynnette! Very sweet of Abigail to do a post for you.
We are always teasingly calling my mom sexy lady (or hot momma…same thing)…neat to see we aren’t the only ones. Ha!
ha! Sounds like an ornery bunch over at your house! ha!
Thanks for the birthday wishes! Twas a fun day!
Love,
Lynnette
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYNNETTE!!! One of the things I love most about you is how much you love your husband and kids. Have a wonderful birthday. Oh, I also love that you love Starbucks
And did I mention the hair? I love your hair.
You love my hair? YAY! My hair is so wild that I have chosen to be wild with it. Nah, not really, but I do believe some of my free spirit comes from my hair. ha ha!!!
(It might look weird on me if I was a calm thing. Don’t you think? ha!)
I do love my husband and kids so so so much. I’m so glad you can tell.
Thanks for the birthday wishes Tammy!
Your Starbucks Sister,
Lynnette

A day late, but Happy Birthday to the FOXY LADY! I love how you love your children. It’s so evident that you love them and love being with them. You are so much FUN and I hope you enjoy your 43rd year like you’ve enjoyed your previous ones. With a close relationship with God and with your family.
Tee hee! Isn’t it funny how somebody made up the word “foxy” for that reason? I always wonder if I can start a new trend with a new word or phrase. I’ll keep trying. ha!
Thank you for the birthday wishes – and for your encouragement.
Love,
Lynnette
Sorry I”m late to the party over here, but I’m glad I at least got to wish you Happy Bday on FB. Glad it was a great one!!
Yes, you did – and I thank you sweet lady.
Love you Kristin.
Lynnette
I love your smile and knowing that it comes from truly having the joy of the Lord in your heart!
That is DEFINITELY where it comes from.
Say YOWPAH for Jesus Joy! (Did you do it?)
Love,
Lynnette
My favorite thing? Too many to count. I love that you love the Lord. You are an amazing wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend and AUTHOR! Maybe your realness is my favorite thing about you. I love that you don’t put on an act. Watch you see is what you get. I don’t ever have to worry about offending you and you don’t require anything of me. My time with you is refreshing. You are my treasured friend and I am so thankful for you. Much love, Renee
Watch?! Oops!!
That is EXACTLY what I want to be (loving the Lord, real, not easily offended…), so if that is what you get from me, I see that as huge success! I love you so much!
You are also MY treasured friend and also SO easy to be around – talk about real! That’s YOU TOO! Being real together is a blast! 
I also love that you love my family and they all love you (anybody that knows you can’t help but adore you). Kyle said to his friend Scott today that you were like a sister. I loved that.
You’re amazing – nuff said.
Love you!! ♥
I’m late but still want to say happy birthday, and yes, you have a wonderful family!!
Late works for me!
Thanks so much Carla!
