Almost a New Year...

I feel ready for 2009. Do you?

I am ready to in some ways be done with 2008.

Not that it wasn't a good year, it was but I am ready to press on and move forward.

As we move forward may we be reminded to pray for thos affected by tragedy in 2008. May we continue to seek the Lord for guidance and understand the value of our lives. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families in Sparwood affected by the avalanche. We know all of you and hurt with you. May God continue to reveal himself to you in 2009.

Happy almost New Year!

Christmas grief.

My older brother Mike, his girlfriends cousins husband was killed in an avalanche in the Elk Valley. I know the cousin very well and they were just recently married and they have a 6 month old baby together. My brother and his girlfriend are watching the baby right now.

Pray for Christ to be there, for them to see Him and for comfort. The Lord only knows they need it so bad right now!

thanks.

Quick Christmas Post!

Just a little Merry Christmas greeting from our "new" home in Grande Prairie! The basement is much larger and warmer than the old one.

My older brother did not make it home for Christmas but spent it with his girlfriend in BC. My younger brother ditched me on December 26th to go to BC (Castlegar) to spend some time with his little honey over the holiday season. Alas, here I am alone with mom and dad, knew this day would come sooner than later. Maybe next Christmas I could ditch the family for a boyfriend, ha not likely.

Must go now and start cleaning the old house.

Blessings...

HOME! and have been tagged...

I made it home for Christmas and it is truly lovely to be home.

I have been "picture tagged" by both Jes and Bonnie, to post the 5th picture in my 5th picture file. So there it is! A bicycle rickshaw!...This photo was taken during my one month stay in India two Christmas' ago now! WOW! That was a long time ago. Anyways..to explain the picture a little better. Catherine, Natashia and I were at our good friends Vardhinis relaxing in India when we decided it would be lots of fun to go on a rickshaw. At the time we all had in mind the "auto" rickshaw not so much the bicycle ones we almost always hit with our jeep when driving through Chirala. To make a long hilarious story short we ended up with 3 of these instead, I almost cried when I got on in fear that I was actually going to really die this time in India. As you probably know now I did not die. It was a eventful day of singing, eating ice cream and making one "flaming" joke that will never get old.

there you have it..
