My brother in law

My brother in law has not been the best brother in law though out my married life with his brother. He has brought a lot of pain upon the family since he was a kid. But he has been changing in ways I cannot explain. Only God can. I can see a difference in his actions (somewhat) and in his voice. In the last few years he is becoming a stronger leader and a person I can rely on. The only thing I wish he would change is his drinking habits. I will not give up hope on that. One day that too will change. I pray for my brother in law. God knows my heart. One day my brother in law will cry out also. Thank you, God, for changing my brother in law. I look forward to a good relationship with him and so does his brother!

Prom and Mother's Day

I missed two important events again. Tyler's prom and Mother's Day. Granted, this year wasn't as bad as last, but this is the last year I'll do this again in Fort McMurray. Next year, I'll be home enjoying Tyler's Senior prom and Tori's prom if she goes. And Mother's Day with my family. We didn't go out. Norm doesn't want to go anywhere here and I didn't want to go because of that. I can't take him anywhere here. I'll go sometime myself to the mall and purchase some new underwear or something and eat at the Famous Wok. It doesn't take much to please me. The next big event is 4th of July, since no one is graduating this year. For 4th of July, I'll be home! Question is, will I make it until November??? That is 4 months after that. I hope so. We'll see.

My new friends, Sister in Christ Gwen

Gwen was sent to me by God to help me through some difficult times. Her husband is also a great friend. Gwen knows me like a sister now and senses when I have something going on. She is the cook in the soup kitchen and I have been trying to build a relationship with her so I can know her better. She has two children. And she wants to do what God wants her to do. Being a shy, quiet person, she is wise beyond her 27 years. But she also is not overpowering. She tends to keep her thoughts to herself. Except when it comes to me. She will talk to me and lift me up when I need it. I really appreciate this lady more than you will ever know! I pray God will bless her richly.
