Hiya sweet sis,
It's not a wierd face at all. :) Looks very natural. And as sweet as always! Yes, it's true like you said that He calls us to be family to many. Let's not forget.

Thanking God that we are rich in Him.
Blessings and much love,

My celebrity friend,

Trust you to think of this creative title, I laughed to myself when I saw your second email coming in to tell us that there actually was a blog. O yeeeeeeeeeees, we may lack something in our life today but there are the 99 others to give thanks for. I loved the picture of your garden and was visualizing it as I know it to be. O and the picture with mum and sal and hubby I take it - just tugged at my heart strings. FAMILY - what would we do without them.

Thank you for keeping us alive with your writings. Bless you darling girl.
Mich

My Awesome sis and Friend,
I decided I'd better ensure folks would read my blog ... hence the 2nd email. Thanks heaps for taking the time to read it and thanks heaps for your as always encouraging words. That was my brother with Mum and Sal - we had the 3 smallies (as we used to be called) and their families this Christmas. My brother Ranil was my playmate all my growing up years since he's only 2 years older than I (and Sal is 3) - we had lots of fun together! :)

Bless you dearest sis for all your loving encouragement.
Hugs and much love,
Anu xox

My precious celebrity friend
A sis as I read this one my heart reached out to yours as I shared and prayed for some of the 'Waiting' times. But what touched me most was being with family for Christmas after 17 years. When the word 'family' and 'mum' pops up the heartrate also goes up:). beautiful O so beautiful, I am rejoicing with you as the Lord permitted for all of this to come to pass even though the waiting has not been easy. Love - Mich

Hey my dearest sis Mich,
Lovely to connect with you before I leave SL. Often those waiting times make something even more precious doesn't it? This was one year when I needed Christmas in Sri Lanka and our gracious Father gave it to me. Isn't He an amazing God!
Lots of love and thanks so much for your lovely and loving words,

My celebrity friend,

And yesssssssssss new beginnings are great.

Hey my beautiful sis, Mich,
I hope you had a wonderful season of joy! Thank you for reading my blog and thank you for your encouraging words. Our God is an amazing God isn't He?

Have a great New Year my sis and friend.
Love you lots,

Dearest sis,

felt deeply moved as I read your blog today...thank you for that reminder!
I love Rom 15:13 and glad you put it at the end...our hope indeed!
While down here let's spur each other to let others get a 'good view'! [like you did!]

lovely having you visit

Darling Sal,
Thanks so much for not only reading but for also giving me feedback which always encourages me. Thank you for moving me to a front row seat many times in my life by your constant encouragement and prayers. I cherish it all.

And yes, let us spur one another to allow others who are often in the back to reach the front row!
Lovely being here sis.
Love you lots,
Anu xo

Oh Anu what joy reading your blog today the 31st of Dec 2013.
"Waiting on Him" is I believe SO essential especially in our day and age when everything is 'instant'! and yet sometimes for us His children it doesn't come easily does it?
YET, I am so grateful to God for what He taught me of Himself in the years of waiting and doing in me a work which otherwise would not have been done. David Roper a favourite author of mine says "What we wait for, is far less important than what God is doing while we wait."

Thank you sis...may we encourage and spur each other on as He enables us to rise with wings as eagles!!

have a wonderful 2014 carried by His love!
sal
