Dem bones gonna rise again

I was reminded again today that God really can do anything. Even fill this tired, stressed, frazzled body and soul with joy and life. What a gift I've been given in the group of people I spend every aspect of worship with. Today was the encouragement I so needed. I will miss sharing my Sundays with you. Today I choose to follow you, Today I choose to give my yes to you, Today I choose to hear your voice and live, Today I choose , to follow you. As for me and my house we will worship, As for me and my house we will spend our lives on you, TODAY.

I can see the finish line

As I look ahead I only have 3 work days left. Yes it's true, next Wednesday is my last day at work. We're heading into the last 40 days here in Canada and I'm hoping it doesn't feel like the 40 days in the desert. My prayer partner chicky's have both been away and I sure notice not having our weekly gatherings. There are so many details to look after it's hard to keep your heart and mind focused on the call at hand. Distractions on the mind are coming in staggering numbers. My prayer is for God's overwhelming peace and an abundance of Godly organization.
My desire is to spend these days with the people we love, treasuring the friends we have, and putting priority in what really matters.

The first leg begins.

So here begins the blogging process. I said that I would take on the job of blogging while Brian carries on with the monthly news letters. He truly enjoys taking his time in his creative writing and I believe he is quite good at it. I would much rather just write what's on my heart and mind and spill it out. As you know this could envoke a tear or two so I should always invite you to grab the kleenex box as you sit down. Heaven knows I could always use one.
We have only 8 weeks left before we're off to Bolivia and the reality has definately set in.
Our basement is full of boxes that we hold for our future renters. I guess there's no backing out now. We have definately felt loved and supported over these last few months as we have been preparing. The ways in which God has blessed us some days is incredible. We have seen people from all aspects of our live, past and present choose to partner with us in the work that God has planned for Bolivia. We're excited to share that with you and the journey continues. Already having your prayer support and care has been very special to us.
Thank you all so very much.

I will add pictures as soon as I get some taken and figure out how to manage this.
