Today i cried happy tears. I think it was one of my first happy cries since being here.
I was at my witts end today. Critisized, angry, and trying to take my day off, i was frusterated, and just wanted someone to talk to.
Its hard to have time to think in a place like this. Sometimes its hard to take time for me, because my time is better spent taking care of others.
I always look forward to church on thursday nights with the youth, but tonight, because of Halloween, was cancelled, so i was disapointed to find that i would be over worked again tonight, until i made my way outside.

Tyler, Connies husband greeted me with something wonderful. A million dollars. Just kidding. But it sure felt like a million bucks. A package. From Awaken . I ran to my room, grabbed scissors, and kleenex, and opened it. It was beautiful.
Everything. From shoes to markers to pictures from my favorite girls in the whole world. From encouraging words, to a stuffed animal, to journals galore. This was my million dollars. This was what i was waiting for. My little bit of hope, my clinger, my reason to hang in there. I have 47 days left here. It was my reason to give my all for the last half of my stay. I cried , because i was so thankful for everything you have given me, from prayers to love, to a place where i find friendship and community.
Thank you. thank you. thank you.
Every last little thing in the package was a blessing. You are a blessing.
Thank you for the prayers
thank you for the love
thank you for the support
thank you for the encouragement
thank you for believing in me
thank you for caring about me
thank you for being there for me
thank you for reminding me what is so amazing about coming " home "
thank you for pushing me.
This was everything i needed. Thanks be to God.
God is good.
God always provides in times of need.
Bree.
