There are some times in your life when every corner you turn, something bad happens, something frustrating happens and you wonder WHEN will it stop and how much more you can possibly take. So these 'grateful eights' are a real struggle for me lately, but nonetheless I will get through this--right?!!!!
This week I am grateful for:
1. Our stuff arriving from Australia (even if we have to stick it in storage and can't really 'use' it--it has arrived safe and sound)!
2. My wonderful hubby and my father-in-law who made the long, tiring trip to Vancouver to retrieve our stuff. The roads were horrible and they had to drive right to downtown Vancouver to get our stuff with a big one tonne truck!
3. For a wonderful week with my Mom and my Auntie Elaine! It was really nice to see them and spend time with them. I got to know a lot more about Kelowna. The week seemed to go by way too fast though!
4. For yummy, organic veggies, oatmeal and honey from my Mom! And for new jeans and p.j.'s for Zech! (thanks MOM)
5. For hand-me-downs!! (just found two containers full that my sister-in-law gave us that will fit Zech right now--came at a time when we really need them)!!
6. The Bible.
7. A roof over our heads, even if it isn't ours!
8. Games night with Jason, Missy and the kids! We had a great meal, dessert and fun playing pictionary!! We are a very artistic family!! :o)
Sorry no pictures yet again!! I am feeling a little lost without my camera. I will hopefully find out what is wrong with the thing tomorrow!

Hang in there, Vanessa. Remember He brought you to it and He will bring you through it. I'm glad your Mom got to hang out with you and Zech during her break. I'm sure it was a treat for her too. I'm hoping that there's nothing seriously wrong with the camera.

When we moved to Poland I struggled lots with being here, but your right you'll get through it, and your Bible will be a place to find strength, courage, rest and comfort. God's love and power rise above and over all those struggles. I often listen to the Casting Crowns song "Praise You in the Storm" when I face struggles. Hope this week goes better.
