Hey guys! Good to hear from ya.
I'm running on half brain power at the moment, as I had little sleep and a stressful start to the day..ending in a very weirdly exciting afternoon. Rofl. What was supposed to be a simple grocery trip after a awful array of events this morning, ended up with a trip to the beach with a friend of ours. I hadn't been to the lake (Lake Ontario) in probably 12 years! Much to my surprise there was a really nice guy there with a pet Macaw! I got to hold him and get a picture with him. He was sooooo cool. I love animals!
He really liked me, too. *lol* Granted, my arm is covered in bruises and welts..but..oh well. Hehe.
Good to see you again Sarah--it's been a long time!
I guess your life is reflecting what life's about in general--the good--the bad--and the ugly!! lol.
But just from the tone of your post--you sound like you are doing great!
lol! That's exactly it, just without Clint Eastwood. Which is probably good in certain ways..too much unneeded violence.
Well as I live and breath!
Hellloooooo Sarah.
I'm glad to hear that some things are looking up for you, while sorry to hear that other things are the same or worsening. A house....wow....awesome!!!
I think the relief from constantly worrying about a place to live will relieve a ton of stress for your mom, and stress is terrible on the human body. Stability comes from One and One alone, so I am so happy He is giving you two this peace of mind.
Moving and decorating are stressful too though, so just watch out for her.
I totally agree. She's been wanting a house since we left the last one over 2 years ago. Haha. Still, she's had waay too much stress the past while to even be relaxed or happy about it now. She's actually been second guessing it at times.
I'll just be glad when we're in the place and settled.
Don't get me started on lawyers!
Rofl. Same here.
I've had some drama in preparing for my Nursing classes, relating to the Red Cross of all places (lol), but other than that it has been a great summer.
Some blessings worthy of mentioning......I found out about a new scholarship that I totally qualify for, and if I get it, life will be a lot easier 'round these here parts as well. I have an appt on July 30th so I would really appreciate some prayers. I cannot even begin to tell you how wonderful this scholarship is, and I never would've known about it if the Director of Nursing hadn't e-mailed me about it.
Awesome news, Sis! I'll be praying for it!
Every little bit of money helps, I know.
My parents' home is looking absolutely gorgeous and I don't have that much left to do (I'll probably finish right around the time my classes start), my younger sister's house has an offer on it finally, and her husband was offered his job back (which he took).
I think I was in more distress over watching my baby sis (my other one....lol) go through the trials of life than I ever have been when *I* have, seriously. Things are really looking up for them though, and I'm thrilled.
It seems like every time I'm about to get money for school I either have dental problems or car problems...and this time it's BOTH. I know the Lord always provides though, and I'm not sweating it!
I took some "after" pictures of my parents' house, of the rooms that are actually finished, but I don't have any "befores" for people to compare them to, unfortunately. It's been a true labor of love and my parents certainly deserved this.
Wow. You have been busy! You're decorating your parents house?? I totally missed that news update. Hehe. I'm sure it'll look great. I so want to see the results! Will show you my new place, too.
I am needing some more information about your friend, Sarah.
Is he a love interest, or what? I need to know what I'm praying FOR here. haha
Rofl. Well, you know a bit more than others around here.
He's just plain great, all the way around. We've been on voice chat so many times the past month, and EVERY time we just laugh for hours. Hehe. No one else can make me laugh like him, it's always been like that.
He's sweet, too. Very. Emotional...deep thinker...awesomely cute accent (english)..very supportive and probably the only person who NEVER judges me, even when it's something I think is really seriously bad.
...Rofl. Did that answer your question? Yeah, we're talking about relationship status again. (Used to date for awhile, when I was 14). Just need to get this distance thing sorted. Well..that..and he's not a very..uh..focussed Christian, which is danger zone.
Annnywaaayyy...That help with what you need to pray for? Hehe
It's so good to hear from you and do some catching up!! I think about you all the time and I am always so relieved when something good comes your way!
Think about you lots too, Sis! I miss all you guys on here.
