Now I have only good news, and I'm sure your prayers have made miracles happen in my life.
In August, my son Yukio got himself a foster family, just 3 days before his 18 years old birthday, that was such a miracle, if he was 18 years old he couldn't to get a foster family. He will live with that very kind family for 3 years, until he completes high school. Being with the foster family, the government helps him financially with the school, transportation and health insurance, relieving me the pressure to make a big amount of money every month. Now I just pay for his cell phone and spending money, and that, I can afford with my embroidery business. I didn't know Japan also had that system, and I really admire families willing to help children in need, God bless their hearts.Last 10th, I went to the specialist, neurosurgeon, and it seems that the size of my 2 aneurysms decreased, they were 4mm last year, and they could rupture any moment, according to the doctors. Now they are only 2.4mm each one, seemingly safe, which is good, because they can't be operated. This is another miracle, aneurysms size doesn't decrease. Now all I have to to is keep a healthy food diet and no stress.
With my permanent visa, I was able to use the government funding to study. Yes, I'm a student now, doing Certificate IV, and enjoying it a lot and making good friends. Hopefully, I'll get a job easier now, with an Australian Certificate.
All these blessings are helping my battle against depression. I'm still taking medicines, having counselling and attending the support group, but I feel so well these days.
My biggest worry was my son's situation and not being able to help him, and it is such a blessing to hear his voice full of happiness now.
Also, I'm grandma again, for the 3rd time, of my first grandson. He was born on 9th of September.
About my embroidery machine, it broke bad this time, my DH put too much oil in it, and affected the computer system. However our cutie Sandra Lochran brought me her spare one, and I bought if from her, in affordable payments. After then, my DH found another machine in Tender Center(recycle shop) and he bought it for me, so now I have 2 machines. They are janome 300 E, not as good as my Jaguar one, but they are helpful.
Dear Cuties, thank you so much for your prayers and support, and for everything you do for me.
I'm very happy there are so many new Cuties, and I wish you all a blessed Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
Love and blessings,
Yoriko

7232Dear Yoriko,
It was so good reading this post - it made my heart sing. I am so thankful that your son has found a home away from home.
It was great talking to you last week and I could tell that you were feeling better then. It is so great that you are doing Certificate IV too and meeting new friends. It lifts ones spirits to have friends around. I am thrilled that Sandra could help you out too with a sewing machine - the power of prayer never fails. It's great that the friends we have met on here are all sent to us for a reason. You just never know when you are entertaining an Angel.
God bless you and your family and I can't wait to see what 2011 brings to you.
Love and many blessings to you and your husband, love Chris

I did your Japanese fan letter K on a hankie for my new daughter-in-law for the wedding and she loved it! They went to Japan for 3 weeks for their honeymoon, it was their 2nd time there and they hope to go back next year for a caricature convention, that is what she does. Hope you have a Merry Christmas and that 2011 is the best year yet for you!

With him in good hands, getting his education, and with a good substitute family to back him up and help him, you have been able to relax a bit and take better care of yourself. We have missed you so much but I now see that you have busy helping yourself get to a much better place in your life. Many prayers have been said for you but even with our prayers, you have done the hard work getting your life back together. I am so happy for you and so very proud of you! You are a shinning example for all of us to follow! May you and your family have a very wonderful holiday and many wishes that the the New Year bring you much more happiness and good health! We will be very happy when you feel like you are ready to rejoin the group on a regular basis. We all appreciate all of the wonderful heart gifts you have given us through all of the bad days and the good ones. Please continue to study and work and keep your improvement going in the right direction. Our wonderful Lord will always be there to guide you when the times get hard! It is just so wonderful to hear this good news from you! Many blessings and lots of love, Linda
