Rewards PLUS M00 M00's

Today I bought Elli her very own Moo Moo..for christmas of course! Such a special treat! Now we both have then and can wear them with pride!

Living here in Lethbridge has it advantages, one such is the "rewards" system. We reward ourselves daily, or a few times a week as we see fit to make it through another tiresome horrid day! Some of my rewards have included:

-ELW Christmas Party
-LCI Christmas Concert
-Christmas Clogging
-Millions of sour candies..

Life is not so bad.. My rewards this week will include..a prayer time hopefully with Elli and a benefit concert for the food bank called "singing for supper" and then on Saturday basically smothering my family with Sarah love!

YESSSSSSSSSSS! 4 more days of crap for 16 days of lovely!

I need Christmas! BUT it's Advent!!!

I am an impatient person! If you did not know this about me then you might just not know me so well or have not been in too many "waiting" situations with me! I am also an extreme woman of worry which is sick and makes me sick most of the time. I am on my practicum which I might add is not fun nor easy. I am doing fine but have discovered or maybe have been reaffirmed that this is not really the career I should have been looking into. All seems fine and dandy but with 22 days left or some would say 4.5 weeks to go I shouldn't throw in the towel! However, I really really want too. It is hard to spend 8 hours a day in agony when you just want to maybe be at home with ma and pa and not doing anything. I know, sounds pretty selfish and well truth is it is pretty selfish.

I do these sort of things: Over analyze, freak out, have breakdowns on Sunday afternoons over the phone to my parents while they are in the middle of moving our house, cry a lot and then puke. Okay, life isn't all so bad because I guess(I know!) God is showing me something.

I have to WAIT! I don't want to but I must. I have 3 more days this week, then 5 more then Christmas all I can do is wait. Even if I wanted to pack up and leave tomorrow the lousy 40 dollars in my bank account will get me virtually nowhere! So once again I wait. I wait for a miracle, a slap in the face, a relief, peace but mostly I wait for Christmas..I wait for Christ to come!

All I ask is pray, and Lord I ask that you humble me to pray I feel pretty dumb.

The Weekend..

I made it!

One whole week is finished and now only 2 more until Christmas home time for 2 weeks filled with lotsa love and crazy laughter and massive busyness I am sure. This week was intense! Not only was I extremely nervous and had that sick feeling in my stomach the most of the time it was just crazy busy. The lab I worked at literally threw me out on the frontlines and when I laid my head on its pillow after the first day I had stolen 26 peoples blood..uff duh! At the close of my week I had poked over 100 people and feel a lot more confident in the extracting blood from peoples veins part. Thank-you Jesus!

Last night I had the best "God" evening in a long time. As Elli and I lay on the floor in her living/dining room area listening to music we met Jesus. We met Him raw. It was a night of tears, laughter and relief. Also a night of tight chests, pain and exhaustion. God knows how He needs to hit us and hit us He did! What a guy.

Love always..
