Time for an Update.

Hey Everyone!

I figured it was time I updated. Its been over a month :gulp: I know, I know. I should be a bit more faithful in updating my blog.

My Family is planning to take a trip to Mexico/Belize. We are planning on leaving April 13 and being gone for about 3 or 4 weeks. I'm beginning to really look forward to this trip but I'm really gonna miss people around here though! In preparation for this trip I've been doing a good bit of sewing (7 skirts thus far) and we want to do some more yet before departing for a warmer corner of the earth! :sigh: I am really looking forward to the warm weather!

The Lord has really been a work in my life which is not always comfortable but I have come to see that it is necessary. He has been getting me to examine my motives as to why I do what I do, do I do it to bring all the Honor and Glory to Him the one who really deserves it, or do I bring the glory to myself for a self gratification? This is not the most exciting thing nor the most pleasant thing to do but if I am to be molded into His image this time of testing and temptation is needed.
I am just so grateful that He will finish the work he has started in me and won't leave it half finished!

Well I am going to do some other things right now!

God Bless each of you with a real sense of His presence in your Life today!

Long Past Due...

Hey Everyone,

It has been quite a while since I blogged. Things have been changing around here lately.

As of March 7th I am going to be done my job. The Bookstore where I work is moving to a new location about 15 min from here so that means that season of life is coming to an end. And to tell you the truth I'm excited to see what this next year is going to hold. I'm looking forward to putting in our garden and tending to it over the summer. I'm also looking forward to having my every day schedule free so I am free to help where ever is needed. That is one thing I couldn't really do while I was working because I had to find some one to fill my shift and it just didn't always work out. Don't get me wrong, I love my job! This past year has been one of the best! It has given me the opportunity to learn a lot of new skills! I'm really going to miss this job, But I know God has a plan! So I'm excited to see how the Lord is going to use me. People keep asking me what the next season will hold and I can honestly tell them that I'm not sure but I'm trusting God will direct my path in a way that will bring Him the most Honor and Glory.

So yeah that's a bit of whats going on in my life right now. I'm heading out to Gym Night right now so...

Mary's Lamb





Mary! had a little Lamb,
It's fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary went,
The Lamb was sure to go.


It followed her to school each day,
T'wasn't even in the rule.
It made the children laugh and play,
To have a Lamb at school.



And then the rules all changed one day,
Illegal it became;
To bring the Lamb of God to school,
Or even speak His Name!



Every day got worse and worse,
And days turned into years.
Instead of hearing children laugh,
We heard gun shots and tears.



What must we do to stop the crime,
That's in our schools today?
Let's let the Lamb come back to school,
And teach our kids to pray!




It is said that 86% of Canadian, American & British people believe in God.

Why don't we just tell the other 14%

to be quiet and sit down????
