Today was very exciting for this MB'r <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

I never thought I would ever get to meet a real live Canadian MB member but I met Stillwaiting today! We have emailed and chatted by phone once but today she was in my city ministering in song at a church.

It was so neat to meet her and her nieces and great-niece and a privilege to hear her testimony. She has an awesome singing voice.

Monika, if you see this post, hugs to you and blessings!! Thanks for your testimony. I had a hard time not to cry during it. Thanks for being genuine and for believing in the power of the Lord to restore your M. Many are standing with you. I believe we are going to see a miracle here!!

Hi, SadEyes. Nice to "meet" you <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

I don't know if you know Stillwaiting's story--she is "still waiting" for her WS H to come home. I'm pleased to report that I am now an FWS forgiven by my beautiful H and our M is doing much better.

I live (way) north of the Montana border but Blaine (I presume you mean Washington State, correct?) is not totally out of the question. H's family lives in Vancouver, BC. I have a brother in MT who might actually be moving to Seattle--nothing is firmed up yet.

I used to be here a lot and would read how American MB'rs met and would feel a little pang of jealousy <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> that it would never happen for me. But it did! And Stillwaiting is an awesome lady!

Hey Sadeyes!

I live near where your talking about! I actually live closer to the Sumas border in Everson but lived in Bellingham for 21 years! I haven't posted much here but have been reading for quite awhile.

What a small world!

God Bless!

those two younger kids who died and were on fire.
they were friends of my grandson..he was 10 when that happened..and the park Whatcom fall can't go in there without thinking about it..but thankfully it did not happen on the next day when everyone would be there..was a sad time for all of us here..and it was 4 years ago now..and still feel the after effects..real sad..

so you left Bellingham? I look out at lake whatcom
every morning so you get an idea of where I live..grin..if you were coming up alabama hill...
you can't go any further..then you go left or right..it's to the left..so you know I am in a great area...with a view..

well funny small world isn't it..hrmmmmm...
take care..maybe someday I will get to meet still waiting..& freshstart

Hi, "new" friends <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Guess what? I'm coming to Vancouver on Canadian Thanksgiving weekend--Oct 9-12. Maybe we could meet up some time on that trip? That would be so cool!!

I tell you what you make your way to Bellingham Washington Bellis Fair mall will look foward to that...we can go to one of those places to eat where they don't rush you out..there is a turkey place in the mall..we could have a second thanksgiving.would be so fun to meet someone..from the boards here..anyone else up this way..when it gets closer we can plan a date.when freshstart is here, how fun that would be...
give us all something to look foward to..they don't kick people out of the courtyard..where you can eat..in a relaxed atmosphere..lots of people around but hey we can talk our hearts away..
I am excited..grin..

how long will you be in Vancover? it is only one hour from here and everyone from there comes to Bellis fare mall...so I am sure you would not have a problem finding it..straight shot from the border..actually strait till you make a right hand turn into the mall.. a cinch...I-5 straight from blaine border..can't get lost..grin...

so in 5 months.I will get to meet you..
I wonder who else is around this way..
the Bellis fare has a great big courtyard.inside
with all different ethnic restaurants so you can get what you like and take it to the table..it would be perfect for getting together.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

That would be awesome. Nothing is completely scheduled yet. H and I are going to speak at an event.

Maybe we could email in the interim--coordinatorchick@hotmail.com <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

I had this dream the other night about OPEN DOORS and it is amazing how suddenly a LOT of doors are flying open. I confessed to a new friend the other day about my A after he confided his addiction. We want our spouses to meet. Please pray (if you are the praying type) because I might help this friend by editing his story so he could get it into print.

Plus I also need prayers for my book project (if I help the friend, it means I have 3 book projects in the fire--maybe the doors will open for my full time writing ministry soon? lol) because the illustrator is a handsome single man. I believe everything will be done in either office during work hours and I have healthy boundaries but don't want to take any needless chances, either.

It would be so neat to meet you, SadEyes and Goldminersdaughter and whoever else could get together with us!!

perhaps yoy can get after my daughter to get her stuff into books,my e-mail is
earthangel@telcomplus.net

what type of ministry do you have?
Praise the Lord..you are also a christian..
what a big family we have and don't even know it.

gee if stillwaiting was coming we could arange for her to sing in the mall, in the foodcourt they have a stage..etc..hrmmmmm..

well I slept most of today, not getting musch sleep at night due to pain..

oh gosh pray for me..because as I was coming into my family room...this was after shutting of the light..I saw something moving rather fast when I turned around and got goose bumps that lasted for about 5 minutes..I prayed about it and said noooo
oh nooo..I think it is something because.
and I sure hope its right..I changed a med...and took my oxygen off (a no no) for half and hour..
so between those two hopefully that was it..

other then that..whatever it was...was not a good thing..I prayed and rebuked it already...
sometimes I feel as though I lost my mind..
but all the meds I am on are taking the effect..
I thank God I can get up and walk around..hopefully am getting better..and I thank
Him for portable oxygen..too so I can go out..

so what is it your going to write about?
this is interesting..

I will write later..am going to the other site..and do some ministering..
they are just starting and it is growing but thank God for the internet.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

you betcha going to add you to my prayer basket now.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Keep on keeping on....
