I am in the midst of sorting through piles of work that need to be done this week before I finish up here on Friday but I just had to take a break before I lose my mind and get all stressed out! There is just so much to do! Pray that I get through it all, both here at work and all of the stuff that needs to be done at home!! People tell me to sit back and relax for a bit...good luck!!
The weekend turned out a little bit different then I had planned, but in the end it was all very good. The rain and thunder started even before I left work, so much for the happy sunshiny weekend! The 'Peter and Amanda' Friday date night turned out to be me sitting on Peter's couch watching baseball as Peter layed ill next to me. All that evening I was thinking quietly in my head ' they say for better or for worse...this has to be close to the worse!'. But then we made up for it on Saturday as we went to Spruce Meadows for the day. I was reminded as I sat in the blechers all by myself (Peter went to get food) with the rain pouring down that 'All you need is Love, Love is all you need!'. How true is that!
On Sunday I watched a week old baby be dedicated at my church. I remembered my dad telling me that he prayed so hard for me on the day of my dedication that I would grow up with my faith in God growing stronger everyday. I am so thankful for my praying parents, right from the moment I was concieved. I plan to do the same with my own. I can't wait for that day!
If you ever get a chance to see the African Childrens Choir I would strongly suggest that you do. Last night I was blessed as a group of little African children sang and worshiped with us. I prayed last night that God would open up doors for me to do something with the strong passion that I have for Africa. I certainly know that he will...even if it's 10 years from now!
And so the weekend concluded. Still so many emotions and I know that that is only going to get more and more intense as the week continues. This morning the doctor burned a hole in my foot...I couldn't think of a better way to begin the week! Time to get back to work!

Amanda,
I know things seem a little crazy at the moment, but it will get better. And it will all be worth it in the end. You'll get it all done, remember all nighters work, as long as there is a 7-11 around.

Thanks Corrina...although, I don't know if you remember but I was always the one to have everything done so I didn't have to pull all nighters!! I am hoping that I don't need to start!
