Amazing Christmas News!

Sooo!!!

I love Christmas! Great news! My little Friend, I won't put her name up here cuz it's the internet and all but I'll post a picture, Is getting adopted! AMAZING STORY!

I have a new Hero, her name is Elle and se goes to my church, she is 70 years old and has 3 foster kids and has had over 50 foster kids! She is just an AMAZING woman! I

spend a few days a week with her kids as they coe over to the house I work at a lot so I can babysit them wile elle get;s house work or shopping or whatever done. So pretty much these kids have stolen my hearts! Anywase she has 3 kids now all of whom are classified as first nation kids and all of whom have to be adopted by first nations families. STUPID Law because one of these kids os only 1/16th first nations and 15/16th Mexican yet can't be adopted by a exican family cz she's been carded. the rest all have 1/8 th or less firstnations in them! So it's harder for them to get adopted, but this little girl is almost 2 now and not addopted yet, but my Bible study and I were praying our hearts out for her to get adopted soon, cuz every year they get older the harder it get's for them to be adopted. Anywase a fabolous CHRISTIAN Family has started the adoption process with her! Yey, I was just having Christmas Tea at Elle's house and she just told me (side note they invited me ove for their German family Christmas Tea), so pretty much it's Great news! and Eelle herself just found out today! Ahhh this probably doesn't make for a very interesting blog, but it's such a direct answer to prayer and on Christmas eve too, I'm just too excited about it!!!

On a Side note I went to see the nativity story and it's GREAT! I never really realised how much Christmas was about HOPE before! Hope for a savior to come! It sounds like a line you've heard a million times but this movie really does a good job showing how these people were HOPEING for a savior! Ah Christmas is Great --> here's some pictures for you to enjoy!



This is a common sight at my work! The girl on the left is the precious little girl I nanny and than the one in the middle is the one getting adopted and the one on the right is her fister brother. They sit on the stiars all in a row, I sit on the floor and we sing songs, and always when I sing "Patty Cake Patty Cake" the girl in the middle bursts out into laughter and the other two just join it, Aeriously best thing ever!


Me and the girl I nanny



My THRIVE kids al-nighter! Oh gosh, that wa fun but 25 kids, 4 leaders and 20 hours in a church is a very ambitious endevor, hahah So much work but A great night!



Me and one of my favorite THRIVE kids (is I had a favorite that is)

It feels Like Christmas!

It's raining now, the snow has gone away and it finaly feels like Christmas!

A different way of thinking about it.

I like these.

I especially like that my sister is the one that showed them to me, which means she realizes that not all Christians are so bad...I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that I'm hoping to be compared with a Mac, though. But I suppose I can put up with it. Because these are very cool. (and no, I'm not going to tell you what they are, you'll have to check them out for yourself!)

I think I'm finally moving... but I need a place to live if anyone can help with that....

Hey guys and girls. Just in case you're wondering what I'm up to since I dropped off the planet after I came home. I've spent two fairly horrible months at home with many sleepless nights and tears and bearly leaving my room. I've also been reading up on depression and grief, both things that I'm dealing with. Depression cuz I'm deep in it and grief because for the last month or so I've been taking care of my dad who's "not my dad" thanks to the strokes, and now he's even more irritable cuz he's coming off his anti-depressants (it's a side-effect). Dealing with Dad is sometimes like never being able to properly grieve for a "dead" family member cuz thier body is constantly with you, it's just thier mind that's no longer there.
So anyways, that's just the beginning, after seeing the NYC option to it's finish (I had a job but no visa and I didn't have $5 thou. to spend to get it) I began looking around here, and there has seriously not been ANYTHING for the past month and a half here. I've concidered Winnipeg but in the back of my minds I've just wanted to come back and I'd rather take the same schooling out there where I actually enjoy getting out of the house and spending time outdoors (Which is a hard thing for depressed people to do).
So... I'm going to pack my bags and come on out (to the island) after christmas which brings me to the title of my post. I've got a job kind of working out (nothing certain but there is a pool opening and I'm qualified and talking with the supervisor) but I don't have a place to live... I have a back up plan (I think) but... if you know anyone who's looking for a roomie (girls or mixed, I'm good with either) I'm open to whatever (almost! :).
I can't in any way promise that this will be my last move, or the lastnot so uplifting email I may post. but I know things need to change and my mom agrees that this isn't helping and niether of us like the me that lives her and gets stuck in the depressed rut.
