My Birthdate

-

 It is 12:08am on Wednesday August 31, 2022 and I am officially 38!!!

Ahhh, when I think about the number it scares me a little bit...where did the time fly???

But I am ever so grateful for everything that God has allowed in my life and I have to reflect and share.

Where do I even begin? 38 years of God's mercy and favour, protection and love over my life.

He has blessed me with wonderful, God fearing, selfless, wise, kind and hardworking parents. I pray for God's continual blessings over them and their lives! AMEN

Then, Neguissie, a husband that God gave me, to love and live with and share life with. Share 2 beautiful children with - Eliakim and Elkanah, God's blessings and precious gifts to us. 

He has blessed me with a beautiful family and amazing and wonderful siblings, Selam and Zelalem; extended family like Titi and Radney and Ori, and countless friends and family.

And countless other things...to God be all the glory. I would not be here today if it was not for God. His hand over my life is so evident. In my work, He is with me. In my education, He is with me. In my day-to-day, He is with me, watching over me. In every decision I make, He is my guide and my counsellor. When I am weak, He is strong. When I fail, he picks me up. When I am down, He lifts me up. When I am sad, He comforts me. When I am sick, He is close by and has His hand over me. God is my rock. 

Psalm 18: 2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn [1] of my salvation, my stronghold.

I could write a book about all that God has done for me, what he has delivered me from, how He has showed me his faithfulness. God has given me many second chances in life. He has always been by my side. He is my comforter. He is my HELPER. He is my fortress and my shield. I am nothing without God. My life has purpose because it is rooted with Him. He gives me LIFE.

Thank you God!

Eliakim's Soccer

So I finally got Eliakim enrolled in soccer during the summer and he was on the timbits team in Riverside South with Ottawa United Soccer. He enrolled a few classes late, but none the less, he enjoyed it! He made some friends and learned soccer skills, but having him on a sports team was really fun to watch! I hope to continue in the following years, enrolling him in sports activities that he will enjoy! We will see if soccer remains one of them :)

2021 Kingston Family Vacay

My absolute blessings. When we drove into Kingston, I saw an outlet mall that I wanted to go to when we returned. On our way back to Ottawa, we stopped by and it was much smaller than I thought but they had some pretty sweet deals. I bought 2 winter jackets for $20/each and clothes for the kiddos. I even got some work clothes for myself :) Two of my favourite men. So, about this night...we decided to go out in the town. But no one really knew where to go. We all got in our cars and drove around downtown Kingston. There was absolutely no parking downtown, and since no one had a specific plan to go anywhere, Ori and I wanted to eat dessert somewhere...but we all ended up back at the hotel. There was a decent restaurant at the hotel so we ordered poutine, what we were craving. They didn't have it on the menu but said they would make it for us. This is what it was. Ok, but not the real thing. BEST WESTERN hotel with the kiddos! They had a blast spending time with eachother in our room,
