Prayer

Hey everyone,

I'm just gonna write a short bit tonight. Just requesting a little prayer for My sister and myself. We have a couple of very frustrating situations on our hands and we just need to remain calm and completely rely that the Lord will take care of us. We just need to be reminded that He is taking care of us and has our best interests in mind. With his strength, we will get through this.

Thanks for your prayers

Peace.

Self Reflection

Hi everyone!

I hope that you are all doing well. Sorry I haven't written in a while, I have been busy with work and getting back into the swing of school!

Today has been kinda depressing. Not to the point of being teary or bring me to a complete break down, but it did encourage me to do a little self reflection. Today in one of my classes our teacher had us do an activity (which I don't feel benefited anyone) to help encourage communication. One by one, we had to stand up and allow the rest of the class to write one word on a slip of paper. One thing they thought of you from a first impression. The teacher collected all the papers and each person got to take theirs home to read. I'm not going to disclose things that were written about me, but what I will say is that I was shocked about how I come off to people. It made me a little bummed and I was a little taken about finding out what people thought of me. Needless to say, I have decided to use it as a learning tool and take each of the words as something I can use to help myself grow and become a better person. Not take them to heart, because most of those people don't know me for who I really am, but take what they said and see what I can do perhaps adjust how I come across to people in first impressions. As upsetting as it was to read some of the things I did, I hope that they can be used to benefit me and help me grow as a person.

Anyways, hope you are all doing well! Please drop me a line sometime, I love to hear how you guys are doing!

Love you all!
Peace

To strike or not to strike....

Hey everyone!
I just wanted to ask for a little prayer on an issue that comes about as of tomorrow! Most of you know that there is talk of a strike for the colleges in this region. Well, the vote to strike or not is tomorrow. (Wednesday January 13th). If the schools vote to stike, that puts all the students (including Mandy and I) into an akward spot. That stops our current schedules and potentially pushes our school work into the summer. If that happens it then puts our summer work schedule in jeopordy. It shortens our time to work and make the money we're gonna need to pay for school the following year! So if you wouldn't mind praying that this strike does not happen that would be awesome! It would be a real pain to loose out on work hours this summer - I know not only for me, but all the students who need to work this year.
Thanks for your prayers!
Peace

6 Happy Months!

I just wanted to give a quick shout out to my lovely Robert. January 4th marked our 6th months of being together. Just wanted to say that I love you! I'm looking forward to many more months together!

Looking ahead....

Hey everyone!

I hope that you all had blessed Christmas and New Year's celebrations. I had a good time being able to see my family and spent time also with Rob's family. I was fortunate enough to not have to work Christmas Eve or New Years Eve and Day, which allowed me some extra time at home! And the oppotunity to visit with my relatives in London which is always nice. I was blessed this Christmas through the gifts and money I received. Still my dad, sister and I continue to struggle financially. I pray that this year holds hope and uplifting things for us.

As you all know, this past year was filled with major struggles, and huge life changes for my entire family. Not to mention the year was filled with other struggles, tears, scares and heartbreak. I hold a hope for 2010 that it will be a year of laughter, a year of love and a year of hope. Life can only get better - good things have to come to us after what this past year has held. God is good. And even despite the things that have happened in 2009, He will carry us through and He is our hope for 2010. This past year has taught me how to take each moment as it comes. To love and to cherish the time I am given and appareciate the blessings I do have. He has also taught me how to completely trust and rely in Him in my time of need. Only He can carry me through.

As 2010 brings with it the freshness and hope of new beginnings, I can only thank God for blessing me with a new year.

God Bless you all friends as you go forth into a new year. May it be filled with hope, love, grace and peace.

Love you all!
Missy
