’tis so sweet to trust in jesus

Sometimes you just feel done. Know what I’m sayin’? My cb girl’s family has gone from one illness to another for what seems like months. This included a scary bout with their newborn. Needless to say, she’s worn out. Done. We’ve learned that the owner of our home is wanting to sell. The good news…… Continue reading ’tis so sweet to trust in jesus

today is a good day

I’ve been slack when it comes to writing here. I get other things in my head and just get overly focused–at least until I’m distracted by the next thing. That’s why I often forget to document the process of the projects and recipes I share. I decided to go through some posts that I’d started,…… Continue reading today is a good day

Recently, I was asked how we came to the east coast to church plant. Short story: God called us. Longer story: God called us, we resisted, God continued to call us, we finally listened and obeyed. Full story: My Love, who holds an MBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business (Western University), was in…… Continue reading a page from our story: senior management to full-time ministry (part one)

family, friends & friends that are family

I’m playing a bit of catch-up here… If you remember, I mentioned that we had a wonderful visit with our Alberta girl back in April.  It had been a full year since we’d seen her–two years since our df girl and cl boy had seen her. Last week, we met our cb girl and her…… Continue reading family, friends & friends that are family

a page from our story & a home tour

We finally have the last of our things here with us.  It’s been quite a chore even now to keep eliminating the extras, as this home is quite a bit smaller than our last home, or even the camp house where we lived for a year after that.  We gave a large portion of our…… Continue reading a page from our story & a home tour

follow his heart

Trust your gut, trust your heart. https://youtu.be/l8t7oK92_Cc Is this truly good advice?  The Bible tells us in Jeremiah 17:9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who…… Continue reading follow his heart
