While scrolling through one of my news
feeds I was brought to another news article about a convert to the Terrorist
Cell and found myself thinking about how they are converted over.
I am brought back to what it took to
convince me, a long time ago, that I was not worth any more than what my
abusers wanted me to believe about myself.

What can be causing the drastic increase in cases of Autism?
Autism is real and many families battle it on a daily bases. The social deficits isolate many, as they battle to find a way to fit in today’s society, but soon will they be the norm with no need to fit in.

The week began with preparing for a job interview and learning
that Craigslist is full of snares when it comes to job posts, it ended with
questions.
I was contacted by a lady from one of the
jobs I had applied for, that I had found on our churches bulletin board. I
would need to go out to Langley for the interview on Tuesday, with a day’s
notice. I was panicking a bit because I always like Nickihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18404444366949506510noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428618221765242543.post-75224716181558391932014-10-25T13:26:00.001-07:002014-10-25T13:26:43.846-07:00Updates and Valleys Part 2
I had
asked God to help me on the way to the doctors in my quiet thoughts, among the
depressive thoughts. I had been caught off guard as I had become complacent in
my faith. I just expected it rather than practicing it. I had fallen from the
days where the first thing I would run to was my Bible and to my knees in
prayer. I had let my complacency allow my guard to be down. I had convinced

My mom went for her transfusions. Her first one made her body go into shock. When she went to the next one she explained what she had gone through so they slowed down the transfusion, injecting the same amount over a longer period of time, this seem to work. She would finish her transfusions and the blood test would come back fine, her levels would be back up.

Thank you for allowing me to be born in Canada and for growing up here as today in Canada we celebrate what it means to be Canadian. I think of the freedoms I have here to worship you without fear of persecution, where many are put to death for just being a Christian.
