Home.
Home has been.... good.
First things first. I came home to some very exciting news that my brother just got engaged! To say the least, i was very, very happy for them!
I was able to see family and many of my friends by now. Many people were still at school or studying for exams and such, but now most are all home. I have to say that it has been a bit difficult to tell my story to those who ask about it, probably because there is so much to tell and maybe because i personally am not very good at telling it. Those who know me, soon come to know that i am not very good with words and often use hand gestures... the only downfall to that is not every one knows what the hand gestures are trying to communicate. So, i have tried telling my story according to events that happened, but often times that does not work out too well and many people misunderstand me because so much of my experience as been about what God has been speaking to me. And maybe part of the reason why i am misunderstood is because i am confused myself. But, as i keep telling snipets of my story... hopefully for your sake and for mine i will be able to make a bit of sense.
But.... home. My own bed has been fabulous. I have definately taken advantage of that and slept in long past the time people should be sleeping in... but i think that is also mostly due to the fact that i do not know what to do during the day with no one around. My days so far havn't been looking too exciting. My day pretty much includes: waking up, breakfast/lunch, run, read, shower, supper, and hopefully find something to do in the evening. This week is looking up though. My family from Abbotsford BC is coming for the holidays. My friend from New Zealand is coming home and seeing her will make it feel just like ol' times. Then christmas eve me and my family will be celebrating with my dad's side. Christmas day my oma, aunt and cousin celebrate with my immediate family, then my mom's side will come to our house to celebrate. And next saturday is my grandparents 50th anniversary and afterwards we will be heading to camp crossraods where the snow is piled high!
Speaking of snow.... we got a snow storm here, as many of you know. So my sister and I went outside and we were going to play football, but we couldn't find one, so we ended up tackling eachother in the snow. If you ask her she may tell you differently, but i definately defeated her more than once. I think that this is going to be quite a nice white christmas after all.

I'm so glad to hear you're having a good time at home... oh my there sure is nothing like playing outside in the snow...or beating your sister up;)
Breanne, I've enjoyed hearing some of your story. The spirit of who you are and what God is doing through you comes across clear as a bell. No one well ever 'get it' in a way that you will be satisfied with. God is writing a story that is yours, and yours in a way only you can experience in full. Everyone else gets a piece, 'snipets' like you say, but you get the joy of knowing your saviour, in your life, in a way that is unique only to you. I love seeing the changes in you. And don't ever loose the hand gestures!
