Changes

As many of you already know, Trevor has given his letter of resignation to the church council. It is a long story, but after several meetings and a lot of discussions, we felt this was our best course of action. Trevor's last day of work will be March 31st. Trevor would have loved to finish the school year as youth pastor, but it was just not possible.

We are very sad to say goodbye to the Boissevain MB Church, and we wish them all the best as they search for a new youth pastor.

Please pray for the youth, that they would be able to transition well, and that volunteers can be found to connect with them and lead bible studies.

Pray for our church council moderator, as he has an enormous load to carry right now.

Please pray for us as we have absolutely no idea what we are supposed to do next.

Pray for Trev as he is heartbroken that he had to leave his job before he felt he was done. He loves the Youth very much and he can't believe the situation he has found himself in.

All we know is that God has provided for us so far and he will continue to do so.

Romans 8:35 -39

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Jack and Sam

I didn't get it on video, but right before this I caught Jack take the ball from Sam's mouth, put it in his own, and then give it back to her. EEEWWW. At least we know his immune system is good.

Bubbles

I gave the kids a bowl full of dish soap suds before bath time the other day. They had so much fun! The floor was soaked and so were the kids, but it was a great way to keep them busy for 1/2 hour.

Blessed

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
James 1:17

I am Blessed
I am Blessed with a wonderful husband
A beautiful daughter
A healthy (active) son.

I am blessed with a warm house
A fridge full of food
A closet full of clothes
A house full of furniture.

I am blessed with health
Energy
life.

I am Blessed

I am blessed with the endless questions of a 3 year old
bite marks on the backs of my legs
Muddy paw prints on the clean floor.

I am Blessed with dirty dishes
Piles of laundry
Floors covered in crumbs.
So many children's toys that I need a shovel to clear the floor.

I am blessed with loving family
generous friends
A gracious God.

I am blessed.

There are days that I know I am blessed, yet I feel discouraged. All the blessings I have and yet I am unfulfilled. Why?

Because I was made for more than all the wonderful things that this earth has. I was made for heaven. Perfect communion with God. That is the ultimate blessing.

1 John 5:11
And this is the testimony : God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK

Around Here in November

Jack enjoying his car. (yes, he does fall off, but he has learned how to do it without hitting his head)

There are many uses for a table, but I would not have thought of this one.

Brook loves to paint.

I know you can barely see this picture, but it shows how Harry Pauls' ingenuity has been passed down through the generations. I think it is supposed to keep the door closed.
