Winds of Change continue to blow

When I last posted 5 months things were just beginning to change in my life however I was not sure then what it would look like. Even today I am not sure but I know that God is faithful and that He only has the best for me!!

In the last 5 months I have...

Changed churches and am now a worship leader at Grace Bible Church. This move was truly a God thing as I never entertained the idea of leaving APC.

I have moved in with my dear friend and her son. In all my adult life I have never had a roommate to speak of. I just could not imagine sharing my home with someone I didn't know. Now at 41 I have a roommate!! I would be lying if I said it was easy blending two homes into one. First off there is all the stuff to deal with, kitchen items to furniture to bath towels and bed sheets. So much to decide on what to keep and what to give away. Thankfully I lived fairly simple in my apartment so I didn't have loads to pack but I know I still gave a fair share away. Also when blending two homes there is a blending of living styles. Our life style is the same; simply to honor God and live a good life. However our day to day living styles are different. Our place is large enough for the 3 of us and thus far we are getting along just great (of course after a few minor adjustments).  It is quite neat when God takes what you think you know and gives it a bit of a twist.  In our house we laugh lots, we honor and respect each other (most of the time), we enjoy each other and most of all we all love God with all that we are!

I also got to meet my niece Iris this summer!!! My family all got together in Sylvan Lake AB and spent some much needed time together. It had been 5 years since we were all in the same place which was my brothers wedding in St John's New Foundland; us kids are spread out from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic coast.
Iris is 18 months and she stole my heart!


At last we have a recent family picture!  It took us until the last day together to pull it off!
I was also on vacation for almost a month and sadly now am back at work.  However I do love my job but I also loved taking the much deserved break.

I anticipate this fall to be another season of growth.  I look forward to what is in store and I look forward into growing deeper into who I am and the path I am to follow in life.
