Friday Night : )
Bored and Soo longing for my funny cousins. They made me homesick this evening!

This week felt abit slow...Although, I was in touch with people through out the week.
A lady I know from Pregnancy care is going to teen challenge on Monday.
The other week as i walked into the centre..Her first question when she saw me was..
Will you adopted my 4 year old daughter?
Abit frazzled..But, then i began asking more questions. D no longer has her 4 year..because, Alcohol has taken over her life and now C.A.S has her baby.
So when she leaves Monday..for a year. When her program is done that year, Her baby will be gone.
She was hoping if she took this program she might have a better chance of getting her back.
In this case, she has no chance...I even asked if i could do Foster Care, that too was a no.
So, for now we are praying for D.
She desires a life of Freedom..and also to know God Better.
Sometimes she looks at our lives and thinks we have it easy.
A few Weeks ago she asked me...How did you know Sudbury would work out for you?
I just said..I didn't.. All i know was that..God was leading me and that it was up to me to be obedient.
In all this..i think she's wondering if teen challenge is the way to go.
Her life has hit Rock bottom. Good thing for HOPE!!

I also want to post a few pictures.
My friend Tracey gave me a gift card for my birthday. So i bought some candle thingys for the wall.
They were black candle holder's decor.
I bought rust paint..chocolate brown.
I also had a wall mirror that was almost gold..so i painted the 2 items brown.
Then i got a piece of wood painted that espresso color..painted some string, made a loop, for the piece of wood. and nailed the string against the wall above the couch.
I added picture frames..that i painted before for decor. I also found a jug from Value village
I was happy : )
I am now painting couple shelves. espresso color I will post those pictures tomorrow.

Then my next project after all this is to get some curtains..I may have to make em ..Cheaper way.

This past week was rather one very trying time. 
Saying..Lord..I commit my family to you. Then laying in bed all night worrying if my loved ones would be alright. 
I sure am joyfully happy and relieved God Protected them.
My niece's 9 and 15 years old  called the night before then "I love you" was mentioned...That really made me wonder if i will ever see them again.
It wore my body out, Mentally was also the worst.
I can say...being far from family was very hard. 
Australia is soo far away and alot of flooding and storms are hitting the very places my nieces are.
I am thankful they are fine..But it sure shook my family.

Now i can see how life can be when a person continues to worry. 
Being able to think of life around one self..is very tough.
God several times has reminded us in scripture.not too worry!
Why is wanting control so hard to let go?
I cried and even played the blame game too.
Yet, i knew that wasn't the answer.
Pointing fingers was easy to do. But a matter of releasing..I confess was tough.
I love my family! I wish i could be the strong one and admit i have it all together.
I just need your prayers.

Thanks and am gonna enjoy a good night of rest. MJ
