Update.

Time sure has gone by, we are in the midst of settling into our new environment.

We appreciate our new space we are hoping some day to fill it with many more blessings from the Lord.

The adjustment has been a challenge at times, but it was the best choice for our lives at present.

At three and a half months post pardom I feel the adrenalin and love that was flowing has now slowed to a halt and in comes the weight of the world. I have to submit fully and allow God to lead, God is love.

This past weekend my oldest, my youngest and I were blessed to go to an Above rubies retreat and get filled with encouragement. I just love going to be with other beautiful ladies that share a passion and desire to love motherhood and embrace our career choice. We were also blessed with some guests, a lovely lady and four of her daughters. God is so great to give us the gift of fellowship. I was able to share and be loved and love on them.

What an amazing love God has for us!

I hope and pray that God will continue to grow a love in our hearts that can pour out for others to enjoy.

Back to the big city

End of season adventures

Memories are so wonderful,
Pictures are such an amazing treat.
I'll let these pictures express for themselves,

how we enjoyed being together.

These were taken in and around Riding Mountain

I'm in a dark valley, praying for hope.
The enemy is on the move.
Joy is a fading memory.
God where are you?

Please pull me out, help me up.
Cast all opposition away from me.
The days are hard the nights seem endless,
I'm surrounded.
Help me to be like David your mighty worrier, full of hope and faith.
I want to know you and be a woman after your own heart.

I feel paralyzed......

I almost forgot about our new Ducklings.


Pepper and Sunshine




And we are expecting bunnies any day now!

This summer has been full of Gods love,
The sunshine and rain.
The market, the vegetables.
The friends, The flowers.
The outdoors, the wildlife.
The work, the rest
Not to mention the honey and chickens!
All an amazing display of Gods never ending love for
His children.

My prayer is that we learn to live like the birds of the air..

Said the Robin to the Sparrow, I'd really like to know why these anxious human being rush about and worry so. Said the Sparrow to the Robin, friend I think that it must be, That they have no heavenly Father, which who cares for you and me....Phil Keaggy

How great is our God,
That He chose to send His son,
so that we can have life with Him!




The summer isn't even over.
I am so grateful,
We still get to take part in our favorite festival,
Have another day at the market and
Our family has the opportunity to have a student from Germany stay with us for five months!

We've been back for a while now but haven't had a chance to sit down.
The canoe trip was wonderful, just Kevin and I, a tent, a cooler of yummy food ie. brie, smoked white fish, tomatoes, a baguette, fruit, etc. some cards, fishing supplies, a hassock (a camping potty), some earring making supplies and it all fit into our wonderful canoe.
We are lacking in pictures because the extra camera batteries went missing, I still haven't found them.

The scenery.


Me in the front taking it all in.


More recently........

I've started to sell bread in town, so every second day I spend 5 hours making bread.
The business has pulled me away from family and housework, I've consulted my Husband and he has encouraged me to keep at it.
So now God I lift it all up to you, you know my struggles and my fears, please hold me up in this time. I find myself lost most days between who I was and who God is refining me to be. This does actually feel like a desert in the mist of war sometimes, I know what the truth is but somehow it doesn't penetrate. I don't ask why, I just say help.
