Since It's Christmas..i think i will blog. I had good intentions of getting Christmas cards out early this year..laugh with me hahahaha! Merry Christmas!!

The way i feel at the moment is stiff  and sore..last week i found a couch set on kijiji and fell in love with it..just kidding!

So friends moved it over and left it sitting in the living room, Long story short, I moved the old couch out from the living room into the hallway all by myself. This is why i am stiff and sore : ( My living room made me looked like i was a hoarder. 

It Felt so uncomfortable and then needed a way out. By this I soo determined to move this old couch into the hall way..where their is a door to the outside world. YAY!!

2 days of climbing over this couch  comin and goin was Enough!

My husband wouldnt move it out..So some nice samartians came and moved it for me.

My old couch was falling apart..and knew for sometime, i should start looking for another one some where.

Another story...

I've been working on painting some kitchen chairs and am seeing the 1'st coat..dry..2nd coat and so on. Being a Very Long process but, they are finally getting done. And i think i will like them.

Christmas always brings all sorts of  activities. And the rush for all the last minute stuff!!

Christmas crafts, Baking, get togethers! All Lovely!

But i Love the story of Christmas....

I love the true meaning of Christmas.. The story of our Saviour, The Messiah ..who is the Prince of Peace!

For unto you is born this day in the city of David..A Saviour Which is Christ the lord. Luke 2:11

The Wisemen travelled MANY miles. Looking to the heavens at the one star that led to the Saviour.

They had their gifts, they carried with them for days and days. I wonder what these men felt knowing they were gonna see and meet the Light of the World. I bet some of this was anticipating the Greatest Gift to mankind. Gives me the Chills.

This is where my thoughts have comin..

I think too of this Journey..Sometimes it seems long and hard. But.. what are the gifts i carry till that day?

My Faith leads me to believe I will see & meet Jesus.

And  this  long travel on earth be worth it all!! 

I'm glad God has laid this on my heart this Christmas..What A Gift!!

Today..Pregnancy Care is taking the Volunteers out for dinner at the Hour Glass.

Sounds Interesting! 

Bye for now, MJ

Where are the comments?

Is it worth blogging?

This past Sunday a House warming for Jason ,Tahnee ,Honesty and Jaylenna. 

Blessing their Home with Songs, Prayer's and Blessings. 

Little Jayleena made her appearance couple weeks ago. When i first saw her i just felt ....can't even explain it. 

What went through my heart was..what a gift from god, who does ALL things well!!!

In this home....Apparently their was alot of parties, young people in and out....weapons, you name it, This was the party house.

On another note..

We know God can make  ugly situations into even more Beautiful!!  not that he created the ugliness! We know who is behind all that..don't we?

Church ladies prepared meals for this family.

This coming Sunday a baby shower is being planned. 

It's gonna be alot of fun!! What a  blessing to be a part of seeing....how God has done a good work in the Lives of Jason and Tahnee. And the best thing is he's..."not done".

They were married in India..and are planning a ceremony here this summer.

Another Celebration...Looking forward to it. 

Yesterday, I picked up my police check and updated my health card Information downtown.

By the time i got home i was sore and stiff in my leg.

Theirs a friend here that lost alot of weight. I've been think in of asking her, If she could do some kind of bible study together. 

I find that sometimes being alone..i crave food and is that what you call comfort food?

Yeah, i seriously need some kind of accountability!!

When i lived in Red Lake i did more walking. Here i do some, But not awhole lot.

Pray for me in that area.

Well it's Tuesday!! Yay!!!

This little Sunday School class was so much fun!

Child like minds and their eagerness to learn was touching!!

I remember back in my days...song i first learned and loved was.....Jesus Loves me!!

Yesterday, I asked the little girls for what song should we sing?

Jesus Loves me is what they choose.

Another one i enjoyed was Jesus loves the little ones like me, me, me.

I even sang that in my own time later on through out the day!!

Little one in the brown sweater was right into this one.

It was neat to praise God with these little ones.

And to hear them sing their little hearts out!!

This week Ladies from church are making meals for a family that just had a new baby.

So i coordinated that. In a few weeks well have a another baby!

Now for Personal stuff..Lets see.

Tooth is pulled..I can eat chips. Maybe that's not so much of a good thing.

I hope to get my taxes done. yippee!!

And i need to get to the lab for more blood work. 

This week,

Would like to take Kyra for another afternoon.

Pregnancy Care like every Wednesday's.

Would like to plan Women's Ministries. Please pray with me that there would be a good opportunity for a meeting with Barb.

Kari and I are gonna get together sometime. She's a young girl from church and usually have her and some other girls over from church for supper.

These are a few highlights for this week.

Sometimes i go to the mall and see who's around and usually find someone to have coffee with. Not always, but most of the time!

Poor couples who are out on dates..end up having coffee with me. lol

Well, this is all for now! 

Please Pray how ever god directs your hearts.

Thanks!!

I wish i had a better back ground. Anyway, let me know what you think...MM

My heart goes out to Cousin Rena, Couple days ago Rena and her 6 month baby girl Tiana were flown from Deer Lake to Sioux Lookout Hospital. Apparently this little Tiana started with  Breathing problems, She had enlarged heart.

I'm not sure what all took place in the Sioux , Except they were soon flown to Toronto.

Before Toronto Tiana quit breathing. 

They put Tiana on life support till Ben her father could joined them.

I cannot Imagine Tianas parents pulling the plug. 

Tiana brought so much Joy and love, that it breaks my heart thinkin Rena is going home to their other little boy empty handed.

Please Pray for Ben & Rena as they are headed on a journey  of much grieving.

Uncle Gorden passed away a few years ago, Faithful follower of Christ.

Their Tiana will meet her grand daddy.

I just wanted to share this mainly so their would be prayers going on behalf of Ben and Rena. Not sure what their other son's name is.

Today, i go into the pregnancy care centre.

Looking forward to see  what or who god brings in today.

Sure is soo good to see little ones.

Mother's come in....wanting to nurture their children.

How Fragile Life is....

Last week.......I was sure i would "NEVER" remember my password again!

Here i said to someone to "update their blog already"!!!!

Okay i feel better now!!

My Blogs aren't as interesting to begin with anyway! LOL

We are having snow in Sudbury.

It supposed to be nice on the weekend from what i hear.

Yesterday..at the pregnancy care we were busy, busy!

It's  rewarding seeing mothers leave with smiles on their "faces", or even when their "crying" "Gratitute"  is basically what it is when they leave.

Yet, Sad to hear their stories at the same time.

Since our move to a bigger building...we are so much more busier.

The babies and children that come in are so sweet.

By the way we do have a web sight at pregnancycarecentreofsudbury.com/

The pictures you'll see there ....are from our former building.

When our move...the building was right across the street.

I love it there!

I am pretty much over my sinus cold!

Lasted maybe a week.

This week i was supposed to get my back tooth pulled.

But that didn't happen..dentist got sick! Imagine that??

It was a busy Easter weekend.

Friday, supper at Dedee's.

Sunday, Brunch at Church.

Sunday supper with Bev's family.

Monday Supper at Dedee's again.

Mostly Grateful...I can take part in the celebration of what Jesus went through for me.

He is who he says he is!!

Their is non-greater, I was so moved by hearing the song "How great the father's love for me" in church. In fact..Could you all sing that at my funeral?

Yes...I even have a few more songs I'd like sung.

Well i hope all had a good Easter weekend! 

I have a little girl coming today....Kyra Bree!

The Last story....i posted was about Watching this little girl.

I wouldn't mind your input.

Or what else comes to your minds.

I read my post again and i thought of the time, God covers us...holds us. Makes me wonder what all he thinks while holding us.

I just thought this might be interesting to hear how this story impacts you.

Even a comment or a verse.

Thanks MJ

Hi There

Sunshine decided to go somewhere else today.....Guess we needed our turn with some grey skies.

Yesterday I watched Kyra. 17 month old baby girl.

I thank God he had  her here for a good reason, It was a good lesson that i needed for that day.

Here's what I gathered from watching her.

I took her outside so she can play, walk or run around. She gathered rocks, got her hands dirty!

There's this huge yard outside.

Anyway, She seemed to enjoy being outside, Except when she would fell, then she would get soo frustrated with herself .

Kyra would look for me, Cause she wanted me to come pick her up off the ground.

Yup....She was fine, when she was in control. Isn't life great when we think we have it all together.

But, When she was out of control...she couldn't handle it.  So Yeah... Life isn't soo great we don't have it together.

Later, i brought her inside, She then fell asleep in my arms.

Decided maybe I'll go and put her to bed.

She woke up as i was putting her down...cried, and cried.

Well she wouldn't stop, So i thought i would let her cry it out.

Next thing i know she is on the floor throwing a tantrum.

Kept on crying and soon she stopped. 

I peeked her way..Not realizing she was waiting for me too look her way.

When she saw me she cried more.

Went and  pick her up off the from the floor, got a blanket and cuddled her.

What i was feeling through holding her was...How i love this little girl. 

 

Another  feeling was....What Joy she is.

Gave me a picture of God love...and the joy we bring him. 

I was really thankful i could watch her that day.

When i took her home. She had this big grin..Like we had a great day together. 

I believe it make Jesus really happy..when we are close to him.

But when i have done or have said something wrong. then i don't feel  close to him.

What a tough place to be.

Makes me think of the song: God of the Mountain

Life is so easy when your up on the mountain,  you got peace of mind like you've never known.

But then things  change and  your down in the Valley. Don't lose faith for your never ALONE

For the god on the mountain..Is still god in the Valley.

When things go wrong, He'll make them right.

And the god good times is still god of the bad times.

God of the day, is still god of the night.

Yes, we all go through hard times...But hang on dear friends of god.

I really needed to share this. Now we've all heard all this before....But what a great reminder.

China Cabinet But no China...How sad is that? Actually i really like the cabinet and so thankful for friends who gave it.  I actually always wanted china set. Maybe it still will happen...well see. Slow going today...I made meatballs and was hoping to have people over, but that might not work out for tonight. Maybe tomorrow night!

I've been struggling abit with a sore stomach and not sure why..and No..not pregnant!!

In all honesty..No chance of that.

I will change the subject.

What can i say..can't Brag about my husband or kids. cause i don't have any. I could brag about myself. LOL 

You'd all get pretty bored quickly!! I'm Bored!!!!

I am really annoyed with the lines under these words. Maybe I'll quit for now. I do want to upload a little video of a little girl i babysat last week and maybe I'll brag about her then. later

I was just looking at the pictures from January and my time in Winnipeg.

That was so much fun!!

Native People are soo much fun and soo thankful for being one of them.

Wow....i never thought i would say that!

It still makes me angry sometimes though when i hear racial remarks.

Or maybe even feeling like i can never do or say things as good as the non-native people.

But we are all on a Journey and this is where mine is.

We are having such beautiful weather !! The sky is blue, Spring is here!!

I might still dig out my Capri's, sandals, today!

God is Good!

Couple weeks ago was feeling very discouraged..flu that was going around was awful.

But, YAY...life gets better.

This week..i want to have a family over for supper. Seems like i hardly saw them all winter and now they are around part of the time this week.

Any good ideas as too what i should make.

Here's my idea..Barbecue chicken, Mashed potato's, Cesar salad, corn.

Sounds pretty plain eh! Oh probably apple crisp/ice-cream for dessert.

I also came across a shrimp pizza recipe last week, then i could make chicken pizza also.

I bought flour 2-10kg. on sale that is.

I could make the pizza crusts a head of time. I don't know...any good ideas!

Yesterday..i was really blessed to hear of a little girl who prays for me every night.

Thought i should post a picture of her.

Sometimes, she acts like she  doesn't like me at all.

I know the real truth now!

I should get her to pray for a husband for me,

Cause it would be fun to be married!

Anyway, i hope all are having a good day! 

Spring....I love it!!!

It's so good to see the snow disappear....that's whats making excitement for me these days!

My last blog i noticed i was struggling with a toothache. Well that has cleared up and getting it pulled in April.

However i did not make it to the women's retreat. I then had a flu which was awful.

We were to head out on Tuesday March 2ND, Well everybody else from here left...except for me.

Bags were packed, didn't sleep a wink that night. All i could remember was many many bathroom breaks and then their came the mess on the bedroom floor, Yup, then i was throwing up!!

Then couple days later..i had a seizure and that really scared me. 

I haven't had one for couple years. Which is a good thing! 

The reason i say it scares me is because i am usually alone and not knowing if and when i could hurt myself.

The next night Dedee came and spent the night with me.

My main struggle days later was feeling insecure. 

I feel like I'm starting to recover physically and mentally!

I really need your prayers. 

Last couple days..I've been helping at the Pregnancy Care Centre. We have finally moved into another building! PTL!!

It is really  exciting to see god provide for this ministry and we are super excited!

I just thought i should update alittle. 

Hope all are enjoying the warm weather!

Sometimes i feel like i waste my time blogging.

I even feel like with fb I get bored of it now.

Maybe all the changes in fb. get use to it one way, then they change it!!!

I have been feeling very discouraged with the toothache I've been having.

I lose sleep over it..then the next day....i feel grumpy and headaches here and there.

I did get into the dentist and the infection will have to be cleared up before they can do anything.

They did give some antibiotics and some pain killers for it.

The back tooth gets pulled out in April.

Such a long ways ahead.

Then next week is the ladies retreat in T-bay,

I'm not really motivated to go, It's always good to see the ladies though.

Please pray the infection will clear up before then.

Our church Fellowship had our annual core group meeting the other day.

That went very well.

What i really enjoyed most was..We all took time to pray for  people who come to church Sunday morning. We walked around the sanctuary and prayed for the those who have theirs seats claimed. 

So i usually sit on the third row from the back. So while people are praying and see that seat..then they pray for me.

I guess that's my highlight this week.

I am babysitting this afternoon. So i should go for now. bye for now, 

Women's Ministries one evening last month learned how to make fried bannock. Mostly to learn how to make the bannock for Indian tacos and then we also made bannock dogs.

Not sure what else to call em. Anyway that's what we did.

It's always fun do get together with the ladies from church.

Yesterday for family day..I enjoyed the evening with Bev and her family. We had Turkey lasagna, mashed potato's, gravy, salad's cheese bread etc. 

while some played games and some of us enjoyed just visiting.

Bev's family will say they have adopted me and am thankful God has blessed in that way.

Sure miss my family during these times. But God is Good!!!

All i have for now. 

just so you know i wrote a little about my trip. You'll find it somewhere as you scroll down. thanks mj

Someone asked about my blogging this afternoon. Guess it's been awhile..eh!

This morning i was trying to catch up with e-mails.

Then i thought i should blog too.

Most of you know..The Jolly's invited me for Christmas and how that fell through.

Well they asked if i would consider coming again.

So i went and am home again!

It was a good time to be there over my birthday..They really BLESSED ME!

Howard shared with his congregation Sunday morning that it was my birthday all week.

Frieda from Sask came to see me. And sure was great to see her again!!

Tammy, Frieda, Karen and I all went to the tea house one afternoon.

Ryan and Melissa and the girls all came to see me.

Karen fixed a Moose, bannock,etc for supper.

I loved watching the Dunam girls there. 

Got to visit with another friend..Brenda Martin, she's a hoot!!

During the week i was there, The Jolly's and Brenda had ministry in the city. They asked if i would share my testimony there at the mission.

I shared alittle how when i was 16 that i ran away from home. That's where living in Wpg for 2 weeks brings much sadness to my heart. But also much joy..knowing god had his hand on me.

I will always cherish dad's love for me. He wanted me home and i did go home.

I won't go into alot of detail...except no matter where we've been. God's love is unconditional..And that was my message that day at the mission, Approx 40 women were there. 

I met another women while i was there and she blessed me financially..

You know that morning..i told the lord, I was very low in finances and that evening this lady blessed me and I'd never seen her before.

It just also shows me God knows our needs.

The jollys blessed me in providing a way for me to come back to Sudbury.

 We have so much to be thankful for!!!

Well i wanna stop there for now. I will post pictures of my trip and you can ask any questions you'd like.

Just don't ask..i didn't meet a special male at all! BOOHOO! jk
