In Which We Find ...

... that I am, once again, parted from my homeland.

Olivia and I had the privilege of embarking upon another life-changing Journey {to the Heart}!

As we are away, your prayers are dearly appreciated for:

~Wisdom 

~Strength

~Discernment

~Sensitivity to the Spirit's promptings

~Safety in travel

~Power of One-Accord

~And anything else the Lord lays on your heart! =)

Thank you all so much. 

Pip-pip,

A Sneak Peak of a photo shoot my crazy-amazing sister did for me!

A Journey that was Taken...

Here it is! The post that is nearing two+ weeks past-due. =P

It truly was indescribably mind-blowing; thus, I shall mostly speak with pictures. *shing*

We kicked off the week on Easter Sunday, waking up at 5:30 to see the sunrise...love it. <3

Most of the Girls =]

Some super dynamic individuals put on a special Easter Tea for us...awe! =)

~What a delight~

Pink Comrades =}

I had the blessed privilege of being with the Blue Team!

Monday morning, we traveled to the UP of MI.

{and stopped at Pizza Hut along the way ;}

At the end of 8, or so, hours...

we arrived!

Many things did we...

...kayaking being amongst them. =]

Chlo and Chee!

I was surrounded by the sweetest gels the entire week <3

Audra {aka Nigel}, taking on the challenge.

(Mr. Wind was rather blusterous!)

There was so much that took place...for seriously, I wouldn't know where to begin!

Come Sunday, we had to leave. ='{

Molly Sue and Ahmna Antoinette!

L.o.v.e their names...

I love reliving the joy and remembering what He did whenever I look at these pictures...

Maria Joy!

I just love this one =}

Jana-ly!

"I say!" 

lol

Mel...bourne =} <3

Ahnree and Nigel - what chums!

Sweetheart Grace =)

God really blessed our team with one accord!

'Kurt'!

*sigh* Dear Kel...

As I've gone through these pictures, all the memories flood back - I miss every one of you girls immensely.

But, I'm trying to not 'be sad because it's over'...instead, I must remember to 'smile because it happened'!

The word 'trust' has taken on an added dimension for me. I looked it up when I was having my quiet time one morning, and this is the treasure I found,

"...this type of hope is a confident expectation, not a constant anxiety." 

uh-huh, yeah, woooooow!

I can't describe what a hug that was the entire week (and even now).

I leave you with this - 

God is real

God is sovereign

God is {good}

He is worthy to be praised! 

I could share oh.so.much.more; but, I have to wake up early (-er) tomorrow, and I really should try to be responsible and retire at a decent hour! ;P

Thanks to all who were praying for us!

Pip-pip,

Phia

Yet again...

I'm not here! =]

Someone was a genius twice. ;)

The Lord has, again, provided an amazing opportunity for ministry - this time for the first ATI regional conference!

Livs and I will be working with Pre-Excel. =D

And so, your prayers would, again, be dearly appreciated. <3

{particularly for energy ;}

Not to worry, I have not forgotten about doing a Journey post...all in good time. =)

Oh! We had a special g-nomie visit this weekend! <3

{courtesy of Ev}

Would you believe it! G-nomies grow up...*shakes head* It is seriously unreal how much he's turning into a little man-citizen! This ahntie is having a hard time fathoming it all...

More to come!

Pip-pip,

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,

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

I sure is ;}
