We are personally important to Jehovah

and we have to show jehovah that he is personally important to us. this was the subject of our talk today. what an amazing talk....and speaker. he was a young brother in his mid 20's from out of town. his way of speaking just blew me away! seriously. it was quite an emotional and moving talk. he spoke about the resurection hope that we have and it just gave me tingles....he put us in the paradise and walked us through the experience of seeing one of our loved ones again. it was amazing. there was not a dry eye in the whole kingdom hall. especially since we just lost one of our old faithful sisters late last night and we had all found out about it this morning before the meeting. so to say the least it was quite an emotional morning. then i got my new jan. 8th Awake! at the meeting and there is an experience in it that Dawn had told me about. i got my mom and read it to her. by the third paragraph we were both bawling! reading experiences like that just reinforce the fact that i have nothing to complain about. i am so blessed and need to put things back in perspective....this experience sure helped.

well, winter has arrived. i got snowed in this weekend and couldn't go to the party in canada like i had hoped. i HATE snow!! :( :( but knowing that winter is here reminds me that spring is that much closer!!

BIG NEWS: my family has sold our house!! wow. what a weekend. a single guy from the coast named kent has bought it. he seems like a great guy. he's a counsilor moved here for a job in the new behavioral health building. so now we have to find a new place to live. i'm debating what my plan is. i know i'm going to move to spokane, but now it seems like it might be a better idea not to wait, but just move there when my family moves into their new place. so i've got a lot to pray about. i've also got to pray about whether or not i'm going to buy the car that i want. i'm scared that if i don't buy it now it won't be there later....so i have some big decisions to make.

i get to scrapbook some tonight. i'm looking forward to it. its been nice getting back into that after not doing it for so long. so that's what i'm going to go do now. :D
