An Award

This week we received exciting news. My social worker from GF Strong called to tell me I had won a Gert Vorsteher Memorial Award for pursuing independence. This is exciting because having been at home for 8 months I have thought of several things I want to do to get more independence and this award will provide funds to help me do this. The award is being given in May in Vancouver around the same time I need to be there for a doctor’s appointment. Pray that I will be able to use the award wisely and join me in giving thanks for this blessing. I Thessalonians 5:17 In everything give thanks.
