Yessss! Just one final to go..the 12th to be exact. I can't believe how quickly this semester went. I'm so excited. Just one more year to go in my Nursing program and I am getting very anxious.

On another note: Christmas. I love this season..besides snowboarding and shopping, just the thought of celebrating Christ's birthday is truly something that I look forward to every year. This is going to be a low key Christmas. I didn't work much for the past two months so my budget for gifts is a bit tight compared to last year. However, I realized that it's the thought that counts. I figured that there are always others who are less fortunate than me so I must keep the spirit in giving towards others before me.

So with that I am focusing on putting thought into my gifts this year and making sure that I give something that will show those whom I love just how much I care and appreciate how they've been an impact to me throughout these years.

Also this year is my last year as a YFC leader well as campus program head. I've served this community for 8 years of my life and I have no regrets. I've seen leaders come and go, but most of all I've seen God's wonders in the new leaders that He has molded to continue the work. I can now feel more secure in moving on knowing that things are in good hands. I've been in denial for the past two months because I didn't think that it was my time to move on from my service as program head. I wanted to hold on to it till I finished school and I think that's why it's so hard for me to let go. I didn't realize that I would get this emotional but I can't help it..this community has been my second family for so long. I fell in love with the work, my faith grew stronger because of the people that I've met and got to know better. I met some of my best friends here all who have seen me grow into becoming the woman that I am today. I have also learned alot about myself through my eight years serving here. I've learn to love myself, to stand up for myself, and most of all, to forgive...

But as I move on, I know that I will be ready because I am convinced that my brothers and sisters in YFC will continue to pray for me as I move on in my service. I know that I am stronger now that I have faith that God will continue to work through me. This is an amazing region because it is full of love now. Three years ago, Butch and Debbie had faith in this region that we would grow to love one another. I have no doubt that we are all in love with the work, that God is the soul purpose of us serving and I have never been more excited to see where this love and how far this love will blossom next. To all my brothers and sisters in YFC Pac Region...continue to stay strong, to have faith, to grow and love one another but most of all, to remember that God has called YOU to do His work.

Thank you for all your support, your guidance, and the love that you have given me. I never thought that this day would come. As hard it is to let go, I know that there is more to His plan for me, more surprises, more people to meet but nothing will compare to what I've experienced in this ministry. I will continue to pray for all of you. We are BLESSED to have one of  the best core groups in all of Canada, the best PC's in all of Canada, the best JOKES in all of Canada, and best of all the most hardworking servants!

Go PAC Go!

PS. For all you "oldies" come join SFC..that's where I'll be in 2007!
