Where I have been

Some of you may be wondering where I have been lately. There have been a few things keeping me busy, one of which was my birthday. We have also had some amazing fall weather, which has kept us outside a lot more as well.

A week ago today, I turned the big 3.0.  At the beginning of the year, I was not looking forward to my birthday but then my aunt gave me a different perspective, and after that I was REALLY looking forward to it!

I was also looking forward to Saturday, because I was getting a makeover! My sisters took me out and totally made me over as a birthday gift to me. Man, am I glad they did. With me being a stay-at-home mom, I really didn’t do much with my appearance. I just didn’t see the need, but now I see what was missing. I will share more about my girls day out, once I have the before and after pictures to show you.

God also has been teaching me, so I’ve taken this week to continue to get to know Him better and learn what He wants to teach me.

On a different note, Sunday was the first time that I taught Sunday school by myself. Not only was I the only teacher, I had 2 extra girls to teach. I was very nervous. I went over my lesson one last time on Friday (because Saturday was a busy day and I wouldn’t have time) and really felt that I was ready. Then Sunday morning, when the girls were all sitting there watching me and waiting, all my thoughts and planning went right out the window. I couldn’t remember anything! I was able to read the lesson to them and once I was about halfway in, I started getting more relaxed and was able to teach them better. I think (hope) that they got something out of the lesson, I know I did! This was a great learning experience for me and also a little taste of what it will be like to be the only teacher. I am still thoroughly enjoying teaching Sunday school and I am learning a lot!

How has your week been?

My favourite room in my house

Anyone who knows me personally can agree when I say that my favourite room in my house is my kitchen.                     Not because it’s fancy, which, it’s not.    Not because it’s clean & tidy, which it most often, is not.  Most definitely not because of the great view out my window, which is my neighbours garage. But because that’s the place where I get to create! That is the place where all the ‘magic’ happens. That’s the place where I go from ‘mom’ to ‘magician’ and I can just let my imagination run free! I LOVE,LOVE, LOVE to bake (this is not an exaggeration).  What I also love, is a baking challenge. I have a few friends with restricted diets and I have had the opportunity to bake for them. I have friends that can’t have sugar or dairy and only certain kinds of flour.  This was quite a challenge for me in the beginning, but I have done a lot o...

Monday’s Thoughts

Have you ever wondered about the history of Compassion International? I know I have. Today, as I was catching up on some blog posts that I’ve missed lately, I came across this video.  I thought it would be good to share with you. Whether you sponsor with Compassion or not, it doesn’t matter. I recommend that you take the 3 minutes and watch this video.   Watch Pastor Everett Swanson in Family | View More Free Videos Online at Veoh.com It’s beautiful to see how despair can turn into hope, just with one man’s dream and the power of God. Will you sponsor a child? If you decide to sponsor a child, feel free to share it with me. I would love to share in your joy!

Some Encouragement...

  What a nice weekend it was! The weather wasn't too bad either. It could have been a bit warmer but this is Manitoba after all. Spring is always unpredictable here!   I also had a chance to go back to the book fair by myself on Saturday. It was such a good time! I spent 45 minutes there and I only looked at one section! I came home with an armful of books and it only cost me 5 bucks! I didn't know this ahead of time but the last day is always half price day. So lucky for me, every book was half price! That makes shopping (especially when your on a budget) a lot more exciting! I was able to find some neat books for my sponsor boys as well. I found a couple on animals, one on hockey (the great Canadian sport), and one on northern Canada. Now, I just need to figure out which book to send to each boy.    I also found some great christian books for my husband and myself. The one that I'm reading now is called " Witness The Passion" by Richard Exley....
