Belize

Here are a few pictures from Josh's trip to Belize, Central America, for Hope Camp 2011!!! The young man with Josh in the picture on the bottom left approached the hope corps youth at a restaurant after church. He tearfully opened up about wanting to get away from the gang life, and they were able to pray with him right there! They ended up moving out onto the street into the pouring rain as things were getting louder. After their prayer meeting on the street, the young man said he would be at church on Sunday! We are so thankful that Josh was able to experience Hope Camp!

Update

It's been quite a while since I've posted so I thought I'd give an update! First of all, Josh is away at Hope Camp in Belize Central America right now. I'm so thankful that he has had the opportunity to experience this! We miss him so much but at the same time so proud that he chose to give this year to God and become part of Hope Corps. From what I hear, it has been amazing so far!!

Crystal is finishing up grade 9 and will be heading into High School in September. Big changes ahead!!! She's been working hard to get some credits before she even starts grade 10 so she will have a head start. Here's a little clip of her piece "Dreamcatcher" that she played for her end of the year recital.




Church has been amazing!! We have been having such a move of God! So thankful to be a part of it all! Thankful to all of you who keep the work in Airdrie in your prayers, don't stop now! Love you all :-)

15

WOW, I can't believe that my baby is 15 years old! Each new year brings more decisions and more responsibilities as she progresses through her teen years. I am extremely thankful that God is working in her life and that she has found some excellent role models to look up to! I really wish I could slow time down or even rewind it a bit, but I know that's not God's will. All in all, I am very thankful for the years God has given us with our children and intend to enjoy every minute of it!!!!

No Limits 2011

No Limits was awesome again this year! We were so blessed to be able to go once again. The highlight this year was to hear our Pastor preach, and PREACH he did!! We were so proud of him. The weather was nice and all in all we had a wonderful time. We got to eat at all our favorite restaurants too!!! The power of God was amazing and each of us was touched by God in a very special way......

Revival!!!!!

So many things have been happening lately that I don't know where to start. Revival is HERE! We are in the midst of a mighty move of God. I feel so blessed to be in the big middle of it all. Please keep Airdrie in your prayers. We have had two new families visit us in our last two services and we are believing God that He will complete His work. We are enjoying having my mom here with us for the next little while also! We are soooo excited about all that God is doing!! Just thought I'd share ;-) :-)

Autumn is Beautiful!

Well, last Saturday was our anniversary and we had decided to go to Canmore for supper on Friday evening. After we ate, Willie surprised me by driving to Banff! We stayed at the beautiful Rimrock Hotel and Resort. The view was amazing! On Saturday we went for a nice breakfast and walked around Banff for a few hours. The weather was soooo beautiful as was the scenery! Just thought I'd share how blessed I feel to be married to such a wonderful, godly man!

Our Son Has Officially Graduated!

I would just like to say how proud I am of my son for his accomplishments. He finished his last exam in August and he turned seventeen on Sept 3rd. Now that school is done, there are a lot of decisions to be made. I know that God is working in his life and that He will be there to help him make the right decisions. The prayer of my heart is that he will continue to put God first and that he will yield to His will.
Josh, Thanks for being such a blessing to our family! We love you!
