Love, Gifts and Prayer Requests

I am so very excited it is Christmas time! It has to be the most magically time of the year. I gave away my very first christmas present tonight (i know i'm 3 weeks early!), I just couldn't wait. To give a little background, my wonderful boyfriend of over 2 years, who I dearly love, has what I would call a home-run family. I am so in love with them and feel as if I was created to be a part of their family since the first night I meet them. I don't know how God does it, but ever single thing He plans has a purpose, which has been so true in me meeting Ankoo. When I met him I was ellated to know that he has lots and lots of cousins just like me, and lo and behold his cousin Julie and I have become best friends for eternity. She is such a wonderful person, and I would trust her with my life. In return she trust me with hers too.. well, what I mean by her life, I mean daughter! She has a little girl named Clara who Ankoo and I bonded with from the moment we saw her. She is the sweetest thing in the world, and I undoubtbly would give my left and right arm to never see that child go through pain! I use to babysit her weekly while I was living in Auburn throughout the past 2 years, and loved every minute of it.


So, as my unbiological child (hehe) she naturally receives presents from "Kay-Kay" every time I see her. Can u blame me?! Little girls are just so much fun to buy for! The whole reason for saying all this is to tell you all that although I had her a new pink sippie and an adorable christmas outfit, I went today and searched for the RIGHT version of the First Chirstmas book to give to her tonight. It took me forever because just so you know there are MANY watered down-half truth- kinda ify versions of The Christmas Story.(Which made me so sad knowing there are kids who may receive those and not know the truth about Christs birth.. and unfortunately the "misworded/fiction" versions were the ones on front display) I was determined to pick out the right one because she loves to have you read to her, and I felt if Julie was going to read it to her it needed to be what God wanted her sweet little ears to hear and speak to her now and for years to come at Christmas time when she reads it over and over again.

Please pray for Clara. Whenever y'all think about your little girls, she has wonderful parents, but they don't attend church so it would be nice to know that a few of y'all would keep her little heart on your minds! Thank y'all

ALSO, I found out today that a friend of my mom's named Tracy just found out this morning that she is pregnant with her second child! She and her husband are very excited, but very anxious as well. They have a 3 yr old little girl, and have been trying since since was about 8months old to have another child. Tracy just had that deep yearning to have another baby, but even with fertility treatment they had been unsucessful... Til Now! Please keep them in your prayers, I know she would appreciate it so very much. She's actually a person who my mother has been ministering to a lot in the past couple months, and when things started really upsetting her about not getting pregnant, my mom told her that she needed to give it over to God and let him take that stress away from her, that she needed to realize that what ever God's plan for her was she needed to understand that His plan was so much greater than she could realize yet. I pray that maybe this pregnancy is a God sent in their lives and that their eyes will be openned up to that!

Sorry its alot for a Monday, but we can't ever plan when things hit us!!! Hope everyone is doing well and had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Too bad Auburn lost... there's always next year!
