Someone Was a Genius...

...to create a feature on Blogger that allows you to write a post, and then save it for a future date! 

It makes me smile a lot...because, point of fact, I am writing this in last week. =]

 Ok, that just sounds weird - but, it is awfully convenient.

{Thanks terribly, you genius person.}

As you're reading this, I'm at the breathtaking NWCC, assistant leading for the April Girl's Journey to the Heart!

The way God has pulled this all together is such a testament of His sovereignty. <3 

I would earnestly desire your prayers for this time, that:

- The girls would let go of the lies, fears, doubts, and painful memories they've been harboring 

- I would daily be emptied of myself and filled with His spirit 

- Each of the three teams would be blessed with one accord

- Competing affections would be wholeheartedly surrendered

- We would have safety driving back on Sunday

- The Lord would be glorified!

I thank each one of you.

I'll be certain to give you a little summary of this week ... hopefully, sometime soon-ish.

Annnd, I leave you with a picture of me being, erm - a moose. =]

{Evy's}

(Lord willing, I can replace the above with a photograph of My Deer, come November!!)

Pip-pip,

Phia

P.S. - lol This guy is great! Are you a to-do list person??

I sure is ;}

Blaze Orange - Not for the Faint of ... Stomach

This is one of my Happy Places ... waaaaay up North in Bagley, MN. =)

My Grandma Fredrickson lives there on a farm. It has been my happy privilege for the past four Summers, to spend a month or two with her. And every year in November we all go up there ...

It was a jolly good time of frolicking with cousins and ...

... Hunting the Elusive White Tail!

Doing one of my favorite things, at one of my favorite places. =}

No, that is not My Deer - my cousin, Anthony, bagged this one.

(But somewhere - out there - roaming the forests - is - My Deer)

And yet another one of my cousin's - blessed fellow. ;)

{Heidi was posting with us in the mornings and evenings - but next year, we're letting her loose!}

This is what Dad has grown up doing every year ...

In his element. =)

Ah, the last drive of the day.

Sometimes I wonder why tree stands aren't built a little more - structurally sound?

The Mighty Hunter

(After tearing his ACL in a football incident last year, we were all glad that Anthony could hunt with us this year =)

Our freezers are full, and we'll be having nice warm venison stew this winter. =)

Guess who was waiting for me when I got home??

He is smiling and laughing now!

Three months old tomorrow ... how the time does fly. =O

His first piggy-back ride on Uncle Erik!

I've never seen Erik so willingly tolerate anyone pulling his hair. ;)

(Not to worry - I was holding onto him the entire time =)

Gran came back with us, and got to see her first Great-grandson for the first time!

Life is such a grand adventure!

To say that I enjoy every minute of it would not be true - because sometimes the adventure is not so pleasant; however, by God's grace, I can say that I am grateful for every minute. <3

Ta-ta,

Phia
