Party

I really wish i had something to post.

This morning Jack and Dedee were both gone. I could not believe i slept  in till after 11 this morning.

Thursday, my stomach felt like their was a knot, then my back felt some pain from that.

I must have been up four time's during that night. It was painful!

So yesterday, it still felt sensitive, add to that i was having some headaches too. Maybe i got a bug somewhere.

Today i feel abit better.

This Past Tuesday evening for Women's Ministries. 10 ladies showed up, which is not a bad number.

We had an ice breaker where you rack points up for yourself by questions like If you kissed your husband that day or how many red buttons you have on. then you subtract points if you didn't kiss your husband. It was funny. Barb asked us ladies if we had a black bra on add 8 points and then asked if you had a white bra, add 10 points. 

We had Prayer time and read a few verses about how God gives us peace when we ask for what we want. And of course God knows best to what we need!

We then met about what we'd like to see happen this year. All good!

Barb Lazarus has step into be a part of women's ministries. I'm very excited to be working with her.

She had me make bannock and called them hockey pucks. Not that they were hard, Probably because of the shape and "really"they turned out pretty good. 

The ladies all took some home afterwards.

That was our evening!

About the apartment, I talked to Don the landlord yesterday. Plans are still a go!!!! Keep praying the things will run smoothly. 

Maybe while we are on the subject of praying about the apartment, maybe add to that request:

That Don will be a good Landlord, Doesn't sound like he's a christian. 

I've heard him swear and i hope we get along well.

Anyway, yeah Please keep praying!

I think this is all i have for now, All have a wonderful weekend! MJ

Phone call from Austrailia this morning.

A picture of nephew Clayton and niece Phoebe.

Picture of Phoebe as she leaves for Australia. to visit her mom and little sister Tahnie.

She's been gone for about a year and a half.

I just wanted to post this picture of Phoebe because she desires to walk the path that God has set before her.

Mainly that you would all pray for her.

She e-mails and has called couple times about life questions.

I have found she is seeking for answers as she see's the world changing.

I believe she knows the enemy is at work and is looking to God for protection.

Also, thought i'd ask God's People to pray for her. 

She misses Canada, family and friends.

I encouraged her to find a church that would build her-up. 

This is what God has laid on my heart this morning and thought i'd share this with you all. MJ

Tomorrow will be a week since i moved out of my apartment.

I'm not sure how Jack and Dedee feel about having me here, Or even their children for that matter.

I just keep telling myself it's only for a month. And they we will survive!!!!!!

They live out in the country, Which is a nice feeling to be surrounded by trees,rocks and a swamp.

The City buses run almost every 2 hours. 

Jack or Dedee run into town quite regularly and so getting a ride in works out well. 

The usual morning runs something like this:

I'll wait to get up once i know the boys are gone to school.

Two boys ages 12 and 14.

Jack is off to work.

Then it is coffee time..Yay! Dedee or myself make coffee.

Make a small breakfast.

shower and get dressed.

Come to my computer check e-mail. 

Then do whatever needs to be done.

Saturday we were both stuck at home. Their truck broke down at the garbage dump. Their son had the other car and they could not get a hold of him.

Dedee was not able to clean church and i was gonna bake a cake at Bev's for church pot-luck. I made Italian vegetable soup for pot-luck.

I am not as free to bake here as much. Dd has gluten  allergy called ceilac .

I'd hate to have her sick for 3 weeks. All because of flour flying around.

Today, they are doing shingles. Some guys from their church are coming to give them a hand.

I'm not sure where i would become useful in that area, I'd probably roll off the roof. LOL!!!!!

Maybe, I'll just do some housework and clean my room.

I hope to post pictures after i clean my room. 

I don't have much to say, except I'm grateful god is look in out for me.

Sometimes, i long for my family. But, God is so powerful, Wherever we are...God Set's the lonely in families.

Anyway, i just thought I'd share abit.

Anyway, all have a  good day! 

Moved out..And settled in for a month,

Well, I have moved out of 319 Eva, and took my belonging's into storage for a month.

Right until the end of Oct.

For now i am settled in with Dedee and family and feel quite comfortable.

I was able to bring in my own bed, dresser,desk and computer. Of course clothing and the basics.

We have shelves and sheets all hung up for Privacy.

I am right in the same room where the wood stove is...and feel very comfortable.

With all the confusion and stress about the apartment i have a bit of a cold. Sore itchy throat,

My first night here i slept like a baby.

Their were nights i wasn't getting to bed early because i was soo worried about how things were gonna work-out.

Also, my new neighbors in the basement were very annoying with their late parties.

It's always a good feeling to be done moving. 

However one thing i did not get done, the stove didn't get clean. 

I hope to be more of a blessing to Dd and family, then a bother. 

Well that's all i have for now. Keep Praying!!!!!

How come their are no comments? 

My blogs must be pretty boring and maybe i will just stick to fb. LOL

Well today i phoned hydro and bell to disconnect my services with them.

I will be storing my stuff in the storage and moving in with DD.

I hope to be out of here by next wed. And done packing by monday. 

My new address as of nov 1 will be: 

Apt #2

2340 Bancroft Drive

Sudbury, On

P3B 1T3

 

I was told my phone number will stay the same. Number at DD's is 705-585-4617. 

I'm soo excited and if anyone want to come and help me unpack. That would be soo much fun! Funny..the first night when i move into a place i cry. Think i'd grow-up!!!

All have a good day, MJ

                              

Last Sunday evening, Our church had a barbecue. 

Some others played games and the rest of us just sat around the fire and visited. 

Students are back, and we are once again back into the swing of the fall schedule. 

Hockey is again once in Season. That means's some of our church people will travel to make it to the games. Last year i showed my support to a few games. Speaking for myself they can get expensive. Johnathon Cheechoo has been traded for Ottawa Senators and am hoping maybe to aleast get to one of his games this season. Well See!!

One of these days we will be having  our annual church core group meetings. 

But for now i am packing. An apt came up for rent a few weeks ago, much closer to the church. YAY!

Although their was  great confusion. Don the new Landlord in the beginning told me that the apt was available for Oct 31st. And decided I'd take it, which worked out very, very well for me. 

He requested a reference letter from my landlady April.

Which meant i needed to ask April to write up a letter. Her first response was...No of course Not! She was only "joking"and was extremely generous with her words.

Took the letter to Don and thought I'd better confirm the dates with him again. 

He then Say's....i told you the apartment was available for Oct 1. I couldn't  believe my ears, My first thought was..mj, you do have a hearing problem. I then told Don i was sure he said it was available for Oct 31.Anyway so i thought i better tell April, So we can get this apt rent quicker. To make the long story short this apt is rented and i will have to move out the end of Sept.

Now get this...Don Tell's me a few days later that i was right,  and that the apt is available for Oct 31st. I was Not so impressed!  Now, I guess I'll put my stuff in the storage and move in with Dedee for a month. 

One day when i was on the city bus, When Don gave me the news about the confusion and said i was right about the dates.. Well I cried "River's" Good thing an hour later i realized i had shades. SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel really bad that i will have to move my stuff twice and know a few other's are not so impressed about this situation. Oh well. this was not my mistake and am so glad my ears are not that bad. YET!

Yeah, i have a new place for Oct 31, And am very Excited. But will be homeless for a month..not quite.

So far i have packed 18 boxes and hope to have most of it done by sat. Washed a few walls in the kitchen. One of my least favorite jobs is cleaning the oven. 

I should get busy here. Having Company tonight for supper. It's girls night! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
